Overview of Audio Components
Your application uses the Discreet Native Audio subsystem. Discreet Native Audio uses the following hardware
components, shipped with your system.
Lucid ADA 88192 Audio Converter Converts signals between the workstation and all digital or analog
audio I/O devices.
AJA Balanced Audio breakout box and AJA OEM-2K adapter card The Balanced Audio breakout box is the
audio component of the AJA breakout box. It provides connections for audio I/O. This breakout box connects
to the AJA OEM-2K adapter on your workstation. The OEM-2K adapter provides real-time input and output
of uncompressed SD and HD video signals as well as audio data at 24-bit resolution. The OEM-2K adapter
handles balanced AES/EBU audio signals from the Balanced Audio breakout box.
