ASTi RIU Features
Audio I/O
- Four audio Inputs/Outputs provide support for multiple operators and audio equipment at a single remote node
- Balanced line-level Inputs and Outputs for increased noise immunity and ease of interfacing
- 16 bit delta/sigma converters for superior sound quality
- Can drive military headsets directly
- Capacitively-coupled or direct-coupled output
- Easily configurable input gains
Digital I/O
- Digital Input supplied with each audio channel for direct connection of PTT, reducing delays and voice cutoff
- Opto-Isolated Digital Output supplied with each audio channel for equipment or driving LEDs
Serial I/O
- Two serial ports for interfacing to simulated communications panels, ASTi Hand-Held Terminals, and general purpose I/O modules
- Supports multi-dropped I/O modules
TDM Ring/RIU Architecture
- Up to 14 RIUs and/or 24 voice channels supported on a single digital TDM ring providing multiple user interfaces and a highly scalable architecture
- Convenient RIU installation at remote locations close to operators and equipment
- RIU and digital TDM ring reduces cabling requirements and noise susceptibility typically encountered with analog solutions
Packaging
- Small, self-contained prepackaged unit fits easily on the desktop or can be 19" rackmounted
- Board-level units available at request for embedding in customer equipment
General
- DSP based for maximum signal processing capability and future feature enhancement
- Combined with ASTi's DACS and state machine software, the RIU is the distributed audio conversion building block for constructing small and large, stand-alone communications simulation and conferencing networks
