Once installed, all inputs and outputs are available within the unit’s internal routing grid, accessible via the integrated web server. This enables flexible routing and control of digital audio signals, allowing seamless incorporation into existing workflows.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 stereo AES\/EBU digital audio inputs and 8 stereo outputs (16 in \/ 16 out total channels).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e25-pin D-type connector with AES59 digital pinout.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull integration into the internal routing grid via web server.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible routing of all input and output channels within the system.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplied with 4-pin power cable and 30-pin FFC audio\/control cable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan be factory-fitted or retrofitted in the field.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisassembly and reassembly process for installation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTypical Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIdeal for use in outside broadcast (OB) vehicles, where space is limited and reliable, high-density digital audio routing is essential. This module enables multiple AES\/EBU stereo pairs to be consolidated into a single, compact monitoring and control system, supporting efficient management of mission-critical audio workflows. It is also well suited to Master Control Room (MCR) environments, where centralised handling of digital audio signals is required for playout, monitoring, and compliance operations. In this role, it provides flexible routing of multiple AES\/EBU sources, supporting accurate signal management, coordination of transmission feeds, and overall system integrity within the broadcast chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct Category\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAoIP Reference Monitors\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDigital
