The FC727 Format Converter provides 56 sample-rate selectable, AES/EBU inputs and outputs. It also allows direct connection to the following third-party digital formats: TDIF, ProDigi, SDIF-2, ADAT Optical, and Pro Tools.

Power Connector (IEC): Accepts standard IEC power cord (provided). An autoranging switching supply accepts voltages between 100–240 VAC, 50–60 Hz.

Format A Common Connectors (seven DB-50): Connects to third-party devices. Each connector provides eight bidirectional channels. Appropriate adapters must be used for each format to connect the third-party devices. Specify cable requirements at time of order. See Table 3-8through Table 3-11for pinout specifications.

Format A AES Connectors (seven DB-25): Connects to AES devices. Each connector provides eight bidirectional channels (four AES pairs). Specify cable requirements at time of order.

MADI A In 1 / MADI A Out 1 (two BNC): The MADI A In/Out Ports interface with non- Euphonix MADI devices. At 48 kHz, MADI A provides 56 channels of 24-bit audio; at 96 kHz, 28 channels of 24-bit audio channels (cable not provided).

Format A AES Sync In (female XLR): Connect an AES Sync signal to this XLR connector to synchronize the Format A MADI signal. According to the AES specification, to operate correctly the AES sync signal must use the same sample rate as the incoming MADI signal (cable not provided).
