CS42435-DMZR

CS42435-DMZR is a multichannel digital-to-analog converter (DAC) designed to provide an interface between digital audio equipment and standard video equipment. It is a high performance audio DAC for use in professional video applications, including recording studios and broadcast video productions. The CS42435-DMZR is part of the CS42435 family of products, which includes other audio interfaces, including codecs and dedicated digital audio formats such as ADAT, SPDIF and AES3.

The CS42435-DMZR offers two primary features, a low latency analog output and a digital interface that supports multiple digital audio formats. The low latency is achieved by leveraging the on-chip, low-bandwidth architecture, which reduces the required buffer size. The device also employs a non-decimating analog anti-aliasing filter to ensure accurate audio reproduction.

In addition to its flexibility in digital audio formats, the CS42435-DMZR also provides a wide range of analog outputs, including unbalanced, balanced, and S/PDIF. The device also has a range of digital-to-analog conversion methods that are tailored to different applications. These include dual-DAC for stereo playback, multi-DAC for surround sound applications, and dithering for high-resolution audio playback.

The CS42435-DMZR is designed for use in professional video equipment, such as video switchers, routers, and production switchers. It is used to provide digital-to-analog conversion of digital audio signals, such as AES3 or SPDIF, to match the analog video signals used by the video gear. By connecting the digital audio signals to the video ports of the video hardware, the CS42435-DMZR effectively acts as an audio codec for video signals.

The CS42435-DMZR supports several advanced digital audio formats, including Dolby TrueHD, DTS Master Audio, Dolby Digital Plus, and High-Resolution Audio. The device can also decode various codecs, including MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 AAC, and can handle a wide range of sample rates, up to 192 kHz. Furthermore, the CS42435-DMZR can be configured to work as a digital audio router, allowing for direct connection to a PC or other device with a digital audio output.

In addition to the above features, the CS42435-DMZR includes numerous features to ensure reliable audio performance. These include adjustable sampling rate and EQ settings, psychoacoustic processing, clock synchronization, and an accurate clocking system. The device also includes an on-board digital-to-analog converter, enabling it to provide analog audio without the need for an external device.

In summary, the CS42435-DMZR is an ideal choice for interface between digital audio equipment and standard video equipment. It is a high performance audio DAC designed for professional video applications, offering low latency, a wide range of digital audio formats, and an array of audio processing features. Furthermore, the device is capable of direct connection to a PC or other device for digital audio routing and is equipped with on-board digital-to-analog converters.
