Digital In – DCIO/DCIO-H

The Digital Input on the DCIO supports 16 channels of AES3 audio and, with the DCIO-H, 8 channels of AES3 audio and 8 channels of HDMI audio.

The HDMI input extracts audio from incoming HDMI stream and passes the video stream directly to output HDMI port for connection to a downstream video device. Up to 8 channels of PCM audio are supported. Additionally, Dolby Digital Plus™ and DTS-HD® decoders are automatically applied if those bitstreams are detected.

Controls

HDMI (DCIO-H only)

Control	Function	Default / Range
HDMI Enable button	Click to enable or disable HDMI functionality. When this is activated, the AES channels 9 through 16 are disabled and become HDMI channels. Note: The HDMI Enable and AES 9-16 Enable are radio-type buttons. Both cannot be in the same position at the same time.	Default = N/A Range = Off / On
Audio Format	The format of the detected audio input.	N / A
Sample rate	The sample rate of the detected audio input.	N / A
LEDs	An LED is illuminated when there is a signal available on that channel. L (left), R (right), C (center), LFE (low frequency extension), Ls (left surround), Rs (right surround), Lb (left back), Rb (right back)	N / A

AES (DCIO-H only)

Control	Function	Default / Range
AES 9-16 Enable button	Click to enable or disable AES functionality for channels 9 through 16. When this is activated, the HDMI functionality is disabled. Note: The HDMI Enable and AES 9-16 Enable are radio-type buttons. Both cannot be in the same position at the same time.	N / A

Status

Control	Function	Default / Range
Status	Component status is conveyed with the Status LED and Status box, which uses both color and text to indicate the current condition: OK: The device is functioning normally. Initializing: The device is in the process of a firmware or configuration update, or the design is starting. Compromised: The device is functioning, but a non-fatal problem exists. Missing: The device cannot be discovered. Fault: The device is malfunctioning or is not properly configured. Unknown: This status appears during a Core reboot (for example, during a firmware update), or when a design is being pushed to the Core and before it has started running. Not Present: If applicable to the device, this status appears when the device is not connected to the network and its Is Required component property is set to 'No'. This status also appears if the device component's Dynamically Paired property is set to 'Yes', pairing has not been assigned in Core Manager, and the device component's Is Required property is set to 'Yes'. See Dynamic Pairing.	N / A
