A PRODUCT OF THE GENFLEX SYSTEM
LINK ELECTRONICS, INC.
AES ANALOG TONE GENERATOR
812-OP/E
For Future Generations
The GenFlex 812-OP/E is a high performance 24
bit digital and analog audio generator. The 812-
OP/E is a single module for use with the SPG-812
GenFlex frame. This unit is designed to perform
two basic functions. The first basic function of this
module is to produce a single AES/EBU digital
audio signal for use as a digital audio reference or
digital tone source. Second, it is to produce a
balanced stereo analog audio signal of up to
+28dBu for use as a test tone.
The level of the analog audio tone can be adjusted
in 2dB increments in reference to the digital audio
with internal rotary switches. This generator runs
at the professional sample rate frequency of
48kHz. LEDs are used to indicate tone frequency
and level, digital silence, lock status, and power
indication. Further, the user has control of some of
the user status bits through dip switches on the
module.
Internally, the creation of the audio tone is done
with a 24 bit audio “wave table” stored in ROM.
The output from the ROM is formatted and output
as digital audio. The analog output is created by
digital to analog conversion. This is done with a
high performance one-bit delta-sigma DAC with a
128x oversampled forth-order modulator.
The generator has a set of features designed to
make it fit into a wide variety of applications.
These features include genlocking of the audio to
digital or analog video within the Genflex frame.
Also, the user may select to have this module free
run with its high stability oscillator.
The user may select the amplitude and frequency
of the audio tone from a fixed set of 8
combinations. Within this set of eight there are
three frequencies (1KHz, 400Hz, 60Hz) and three
levels (0dBFS, -10dBFS, -20dBFS)*. With this, the
module has the ability to produce “digital silence”
while producing one of the eight combinational
tones on the output.
The GenFlex audio generator is built with quality
throughout the unit. The analog audio signal path
consists of surface mount thick film resistors to
achieve low noise and high quality audio
characteristics. Further, with its ability to produce
24 bit digital audio, it can produce the highest
resolution audio available in the AES3 format. The
812-OP/E is an addition to Link’s GenFlex family of
analog/digital generator products. It is designed to
reside in LINK's SPG-812 frame in the audio slot
with a possible total of five other video modules.
There are two digital outputs, one conforming with
the AES3-ID interconnection standard and the
other with AES3-1992 interconnection standard.
The analog output consists of screw-type terminal
block connections for balanced stereo audio.
* 60Hz tone has 2 levels (0dBFS and -20dBFS).
The other tones have three levels.
