FP-DFC2 Digital Converter - SPDIF to AES/EBU (24/192)

The FP-DFC2 is the ideal choice for applications where a SPDIF source needs to be connected to professional AES/EBU audio devices. Three connectors are provided for the SPDIF input: RCA, BNC, and optical. However, only one of these inputs can be used at a time. The AES/EBU output is implemented via an XLR socket. The operating voltage can be connected either through screw terminals or via a plug. The output is isolated by a transformer. The input signal is decoded and reassembled in the AES/EBU format. All headers that are the same for SPDIF and AES/EBU standards are added to the output data stream. A blue LED indicator lights up when a valid digital input signal is being converted to output.

A common problem with consumer and professional digital audio products is unpredictable latch-up when digital signals are connected or switched. The automatic Sure-Lok™ circuit of the FP-DFC2 monitors the most common causes of digital latch-up. Upon detecting a latch-up error, the receiver circuit is restarted to allow the digital data stream to synchronize.
