A2-7300 Series units are high quality audio format converters designed primarily to provide maximum format flexibility for the C2-7310 HD Audio/Video Processor's audio inputs and outputs. The C2-7310 provides AES3-id audio I/O via two HD-44 Connectors. Any two of the A2-7300 models, or two of the same model, can connect to these connectors to bring the AES3-id signals out to BNC connectors or to change the audio format completely. All of the AES audio channels can be synchronized to a DARS reference when connected to the C2-7310 via any of the A2-7300 units. Additionally, the A2-7300 units may be used in conjunction with one another, without the C2-7310, to provide bi-directional analog/digital or AES3/AES3-id conversion.

A2-7342 audio format converter provides an HD-44 to 8 analog stereo (4-in/4-out) on XLR’s and a DARS reference input on a BNC connector. This unit contains four high quality stereo analog to AES3-id converters, plus four high quality AES3-id to stereo analog. The audio sample rate is user adjustable in standalone mode using DIP switches or selected from the C2-7310 menu when connected.
