Digital Stage Input and Output Cards - New Options for VENUE

Digidesign has introduced Digital Stage Input (DSI) and Digital Stage Output (DSO) card options for the VENUE live sound environment. These new cards extend the flexibility of VENUE by offering alternative input and output capabilities for the Stage Rack so you can integrate a wider range of digital peripherals and components. DSI and DSO cards are easy to install and offer advanced source selection and sample-rate conversion features.

A single DSI card provides eight channels of digital input for the VENUE Stage Rack either through four AES/ EBU pairs on individual XLRs or via a single ADAT optical interface. A single DSO card offers eight channels of AES/ EBU outputs across four discrete XLRs as well as eight channels via the ADAT optical interface. The DSO keeps both AES/ EBU and ADAT interfaces active at all times, creating a digital split with the AES signals mirrored to the ADAT connection.
