AES 16-Channel Input Card (CIAES-16)

Type 2 Hardware

Type 2 hardware provides new cables and connectors between the I/O cards and main boards in Cores and I/O Frames. Due to this change, the Type 2 hardware is not physically compatible with the older hardware. You can still integrate the new I/O Frames and Cores in the same system with older hardware, but the I/O cards are not interchangeable. Type 2 hardware can be identified by a yellow label on the back of the Core and I/O Frame, and the bottom of the I/O cards.

CIAES16 is a 16-channel AES/EBU (AES3) 24-bit digital input card that can be used in any Q-SYS Core or I/O Frame. Utilizes IT industry standard RJ45 connectors.
