AES-RTX is a device for converting the digital audio signal in AES-EBU and vice versa. Its use is intended for systems with mixed technology, where in some cases the digital audio processing it is mandatory.
The particularity of AES-RTX is also to be able to amplify audio signals, displaying the level of appropriate bargraph precision. AES-RTX has the ability to implement upgrading software for future use with the simple aid of a download via PC with RS-232 serial port.
AES-RTX also allows to send alarm signals in case of absence of modulation transiting through a string of serial RS-232 port. The activation time of reset alarm that can be set through keyboard front from a minimum of 100 ms to a maximum of 59 seconds. On the front panel of the AES-RTX is also a bar graph of precision can display the audio level input. This bargraph displays the audio level according to DIN 45406.
The scale used for the bargraph ranges from - 40 dB to + 5 dB according to specification. There is also a scale which expresses the percentage of the level in function of the 100% modulation at 0 dB. Also on the front panel is an alphanumeric display and a keypad for access to configuration parameters. The dynamic range of the AES-RTX is 96 dB with a bandwidth that extends from 20 Hz to 16 kHz with frequency linearity of the measure in between + / - 0.5 dB. The technology used in the AES-RTX is fully digital making the apparatus particularly reliable in terms of precision and repeatability, eliminating the drawbacks associated with the traditional analog approach.
