Bayview Pro Audio

The Lynx Studio Technology LS-ADAT is a full-function ADAT interface that provides two ADAT lightpipe inputs and outputs and an ADAT Sync In Port for the LynxTWO/L22/AES16 professional PCI cards. Operating at a sample rate of 48 kHz, the Lynx LS-ADAT I/O channel capacity is 16. Higher sample rates are supported using S/MUX technology: 8 channels at 96 kHz and 4 channels at 192kHz.

The ADAT Sync In port feeds on-board time code control logic that provides two methods of sample-accurate synchronization. In systems using ASIO compatible audio applications, the Lynx LSADAT utilizes Steinberg's ASIO Positioning Protocol for synchronization to ADAT time code. Alternatively, synchronization using the Lynx LS-ADAT's cue point capability initiates recording or playback with sample period resolution. The Lynx LS-ADAT can also transmits time code via MTC for general compatibility with many applications.

The Lynx LS-ADAT offers a wide variety of sample clock synchronizations options. Its sample clock source can be derived from a word clock or composite video received by the LynxTWO. In addition, either lightpipe input or the Sync In port can also be selected as the clock source.

The Lynx Studio LS-ADAT Installs in an empty bracket internally in your computer, no PCI slot required.
