The ASI1443 is an AES/EBU output module intended for use in the Hono AVB/CobraNet Custom network interfaces. It has eight channels of output, bundled as four stereo AES/EBU outputs that operate at 48kHz (CobraNet) and 48/96kHz (AVB) samples rates. Up to four ASI1443 modules may be used in one Hono Custom. AudioScience’s CobraNet implementation, based on the CobraNet chip used, allows for up to 16 AES/EBU outputs, out of a possible 32, to be used at any given time. AVB may use all 32 possible channels.
A unique feature of the ASI1443 is its interchangeable I/O connector. A choice of 50pin Centronics (ASI1491), StudioHub+TM (ASI1492) or Terminal Block (ASI1493) allows the module to adapt to a variety of interconnection schemes with minimal custom wiring.
