- digital audio equipment can be interconnected via standardized interfaces. the r&s®upp-b2 option supports both the aes/ebu and s/p dif format
- balanced (d-sub), unbalanced (bnc) and optical (toslink) inputs and outputs for connecting consumer electronics equipment and professional studio equipment
- the level of the balanced and the unbalanced output can be adjusted in order to determine the sensitivity of digital audio inputs
- the format of the channel status data generated can be chosen independently of the selected interface, where the choices are “professional” and “consumer”. a matching protocol (consisting of channel status, user, validity and parity bits) is generated automatically
- synchronization input (bnc) on the front of the instrument; this allows the generator to be synchronized with the digital audio reference signal (dars) in line with aes11, or with a word clock
- the generator and the analyzer can be operated with clock rates of 30 khz to 200 khz; the generator can generate these clocks internally
- the clock rates of the analyzer and the generator are independent of each other, which allows sampling rate converters to be analyzed
- audio words of 8 bit to 24 bit can be selected independently for the generator and the analyzer
