The broadcast digital audio changeover processor for radio and TV broadcast marketplaces. FOX matches the most hi-end broadcast use requirements, with two analog inputs, two digital inputs, one analog output and one digital output. All inputs can be routed to a different audio output thanks to the A/D and D/A converter, so to manage any kind of switch between different input.
Switching policies between inputs and outputs are fully user-configurable in order to suit individual requirements. Furthermore FOX plays into the entire audio chain the delicate rol of program supervisor, thanks to an integrated audio detector and to the ability of generating an alarm when the nominal operating conditions are not met. When an alarm rises, a switching command via GPO is provided.
FOX presents in the front side a graphic LCD display that shows the levels of analog and digital inputs and outputs and all alarms detected during the normal use.
The control software comes for free with FOX and allows the configuration of the timing and the policy of intervention/recovery of switching, displaying levels of input and output signals and configure every working parameter. It is also possible to save the data to a single device and create a database for all FOX machines operating into the chain.
The process is DSP audio based and the audio features included are Denoiser, that eliminates unwanted noise on the audio chain, the delay module, a delay line applicable to a fully synchronous input in order to keep all audio sources.
During the process of allignement and calibration of the audio network, a tone generator with variable sample frequency and amplitude is provided with Fox and available on analog or digital outputs.
Furthermore, a DTMF encoder and a DTMF decoder with customizable strings allow the remote management of automation systems.
