Ross Video Introduces The ADC-8432 To OpenGear Family

Ross Video is adding the ADC-8432, an analogue audio to AES/EBU converter to the openGear family.
The openGear ADC-8432 is a broadcast quality Analogue Audio to AES/EBU Converter used to convert two analogue audio channels to an AES/EBU signal.
The ADC-8432 accepts one stereo (Left, Right) analogue audio pair and provides four copies of the AES/EBU signal.
The conversion from analogue to digital is performed with 24-bit precision and supports sampling rates of 32kHz to 192kHz with AES (DARS) reference or internal reference.
Eric Goodmurphy, Marketing Product Manager, RossGear, said: "The ADC-8432 further broadens our analogue/digital audio conversion offerings in openGear.
"It is a high quality converter with 24-bit precision that exceeds to previous generation products by offering sampling frequencies from 32kHz to 192kHz. This is a great accomplishment and addition to openGear."
openGear is an open-architecture, 2 RU modular frame system designed by Ross Video and supported by more than 17 different terminal equipment manufacturers.
openGear offers clients the freedom to choose the best technology from a wide range of manufacturers products to meet the needs of a broadcast, production, or distribution facility while maintaining a compatible openGear frame infrastructure.
The Ross Dashboard Remote Control and Monitoring System and companion SNMPplug-in enables unified control over all openGear cards in a system as well as for openGear to tie in with 3rd party SNMP based systems.
The openGear modules offered from Ross include a broad selection of audio and video products for distribution, analogue conversion, UP/Down/X format conversion, fibre, switching, keying and sychronisation, as well as backward compatibility with a suite of solutions from the RossGear 8000 series.
