Optocore DD32R-FX AES/EBU Interface

Optocore DD32R-FX — AES/EBU Interface for the Optocore Fiber Networks

The DD32R-FX is a professional-grade AES/EBU interface designed for seamless integration into Optocore Fiber Networks. This 1RU device delivers 32 AES/EBU pairs, 64 configurable audio channels, with flexible input/output assignment in 8-channel blocks. Built for demanding audio environments, the DD32R-FX combines comprehensive connectivity with minimal power consumption.

It features Word Clock I/O, Composite Video input and output, dual LAN ports, dual SANE ports, and four RS485/422 connections, all accessible through the Optocore fiber dual-ring network architecture.

The dual fiber links with interchangeable transceivers enable long-distance signal transport and conversion while maintaining exceptional routing flexibility. Scale from simple point-to-point configurations to complex ring or star topologies, supporting up to 1024 audio channels, 3 video channels, and full control data integration including RS485, RS422, DMX, and MIDI. Ideal for broadcast, live sound, and large-scale networked audio systems requiring reliability, scalability, and professional-grade signal integrity.
