Chapter 1: AES-6880 AES/EBU Digital Audio Distribution Amplifier Module

 

 

Error Detection and Reporting

The AES-6880 DA constantly monitors the incoming AES data stream and reports the following error conditions via the LED indicators mounted near the card’s front edge. LED indicators and conditions are described in the following table:

Condition

Indicator

Description Of Condition

 

 

 

All OK;

Green LED

No errors detected.

No Errors

 

 

 

 

 

No Lock

Red LED

Signal is not present or cannot be locked.

 

 

 

Biphase Coding

Red LED

Biphase coding of incoming date is

Error

 

incorrect.

 

 

 

Parity Error

Red LED

SRD stream’s parity bit is not set as

 

 

specified.

 

 

 

CRC Error

Red LED

The CRC value calculated for the

 

 

incoming data does not match the CRC

 

 

byte of the channel status word.

 

 

 

Confidence Flag

Red LED

The received data eye opening is less

Error

 

than a half-bit period, indicating a

 

 

possible lack of signal strength or high

 

 

jitter.

 

 

May also indicate that insufficient EA is

 

 

applied.

 

 

 

Validity Error

Red LED

AES stream’s validity bit is high.

 

 

The incoming data is not suitable for

 

 

conversion to an analog audio signal.

 

 

 

Alarm

Red LED

Indication that the external alarm

 

 

contact closure is asserted, and this card
