The CIAES16 is a 16-channel AES/EBU (AES3) 24-bit digital input Q-SYS peripheral card that can be used in any Q-SYS Core or I/O Frame. It utilizes IT industry standard RJ45 connectors, and provides a simple and cost-effective way to interface Q-SYS into an existing or new installation.
For configuration information, see 16-Channel AES3 In.
About Type 2 Hardware
The CIAES-16 card is 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.
