Features
Thank you for buying a Ross Video AudioEdge™ XLR-Analog-Input/Output. The AudioEdge™ XLR-Analog-Input/Output builds on the Ross Video reputation for designing compact switchers, computer graphics systems, and audio production equipment for every production environment.
RAVE Audio Mixer
AudioEdge™ XLR-Analog-Input/Output builds on the success of RAVE integrated audio mixers that includes internal audio routing and output channel shuffling, together with a hardware-based 24-bit digital audio production mixer.
Independent XLR-Analog-Input and XLR-Analog-Output units in a modular design allow for greater flexibility for small or large audio productions incorporating analog, MADI, network, and Dante® workflows.
The analog inputs have direct control over gain, phantom power on/off, and 20dB pad on/off.
Audio Equalization (EQ)
The audio equalizer (EQ) allows you to enhance the sound quality of audio sources. An independent stereo equalizer is available for every audio fader in the system, providing four bands of adjustment: low-shelf, mid-range 1 and 2 (bell filters), and high-shelf.
The EQ graph allows you to visualize the EQ adjustments as well as actively change them on the graph.
Compressor/Limiter (CL)
The audio compressor allows you to restrict audio levels from passing a threshold level. These are often used to prevent digital clipping of audio levels that are too high for output equipment. Once the threshold is reached, the compressor starts to reduce the gain at a specific ratio. The higher the compression ratio, the harsher the reduction in gain. The compression continues until the audio level falls below the threshold. You can adjust how quickly the compressor is applied once the threshold is surpassed as well as how long after the level drops below the threshold that the compressor is still applied.
MADI
The MADI interface supports an SFP transceiver module using the AES10-1991, AES10-2003, and AES10-2008 specifications for a maximum of 56 or 64 audio channels, depending on the specification. The MADI SFP port is located on the back of the frame.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| SFP-MADI-COAX | Embrionix EB06HDRT-MN-MADI, a medium reach electrical MADI Audio SFP (emSFP) transceiver module. |
| SFP-MADI-850MM | Embrionix GO2949-85CL, a short reach optic video SFP. |
Custom Controls
This feature brings the power of macros to the operator. Button presses, menu selections, event commands, or even the system state can be recorded to a custom control with pauses or holds between the events. A simple button press can play these events back again. Step through complex system re-configurations as simply as pressing a custom control button.
Device Control
The system can control a number of external devices, such as video servers and robotic cameras.
General Purpose Interface (GPI)
The XLR-Analog-Output is equipped with 24 GPI I/Os that can be assigned as either an input or output independently.
The GPI inputs allow the system to interface with peripheral equipment such as editors. Each GPI input can be used to perform simple editing and system functions.
Memory System
Storage for 100 complete system snapshots comes standard with all AudioEdge™ XLR-Analog-Input/Output units.
Ross Platform Manager Licensing
RPM licenses are issued by the Ross Activation Server under a Customer Product Key. The Product Key is then added to a Ross Platform Manager that multiple systems can access to request software licenses. Each system must request and release licenses from/to the Ross Platform Manager.
RPM licenses can easily be requested or released from a system to a pool of licenses on the Ross Platform Manager. This allows you to move licenses between different studios depending on production needs by releasing licenses from one system and requesting them by another.
