Appsys Flexiverter (FLX-DDB/SRC)

 

Ultra-compact converters
+ Switchable format boards

The Appsys ProAudio Flexiverter is an ultra-compact box for converting between any of the most common digital audio formats (Standalone), or for adding additional I/O to the Appsys Multiverter (Extension).

Two Flexiverters can also be used together (Dual Mode), allowing users to create a custom device to perfectly suit their digital format conversion needs.

Each Flexiverter comes with a main format as standard, with a second slot for adding an additional interface via a range of switchable AUX boards, for converting between two different formats, or for expanding the I/O of the main format.

The Appsys Flexiverter range opens up a world of possibilities for conversion between the most common formats, as well as unique pairings and combinations (e. g. AES50 <> Dante, Dante <> Dante SRC, Dante <> AVB).

For other base unit options, see the full range of Appsys Flexiverters here.

 

 

Appsys Flexiverter (APP-FLX-DDB/SRC)

The Appsys APP-FLX-DDB/SRC is a Dante <> Dante bridge consists of the Appsys FLX-DANTE/SRC module with a pre-loaded AUX-DANTE card (with sample rate conversion).

Two independent Dante modules allow physical network isolation, while all 64x64 channels of audio are passed both ways between the networks.

The built-in, high-end, bidirectional Sample Rate Converter takes care of matching audio between the different master clocks and possibly different sample rates of both networks.

 

How it works

The Appsys Flexiverter can be used in one of 3 ways: Standalone, Dual Mode, or as a Multiverter Extension.

 

THE BACK PANEL: MOST FLEXIBLE

The main format I/O section on every FLX unit is different, the rest of the back panel is identical.

 

The FlexLink connection

The FlexLink connection is designed to connect two Flexiverters, or one Flexiverter with the Multiverter. It provides:

• 192 x 192 channels bi-directional transmission of 24-bit uncompressed audio (fully transparent to AES3 compatible metadata bits)
• Super-low link latency of 4 samples (ca. 83μs)
• Dedicated, high-quality reference clock signal with automatic configuration
• Power supply for connected devices (to reduce cabling), alternatively serves as redundancy scheme when both devices are powered: in case of power failure, both devices keep working from the remaining power supply.
• Uses standard HDMI cables (with locking screws), to provide easy field replacement in case of defects.



Rackmounts

The following rackmount kits are available as optional extras:

	RM-FLX1 Rackmount kit for mounting a single FLX device in 1U
	RM-FLX2 Rackmount kit for mounting two FLX devices in 1U
