The 7720ADC-A4 is a high-quality, 24-bit, analog to digital audio converter which provides digital conversion of 4 balanced analog audio channels and provides 2 unbalanced (or balanced from the 7720ADC-A4-B) AES/EBU channels out. The sampling clock may free run at 48KHz or may be locked to either a DARS (Digital Audio Reference Signal) reference or composite video reference. Level control is provided via a card edge toggle switch. The input gain level can be read out from a card edge display for convenience. The full scale digital signal can be calibrated to accommodate peak levels ranging from 8dBu to 27dBu with 0.5dB resolution. The audio ADC features a card edge VU meter for quick confidence monitoring. Four separate level indicators are provided via bargraphs for quick validation of audio program material.
