1. Introduction

1.1. General functionality

The P56x series is an Audio Encoder/Decoder/Codec for up to 8 stereo channels (encoder channels, decoder channels or mixed). It is delivered in a 19'' 1U housing.

The connection depends on the configuration of the ordered device.

1.2. Scope of Delivery

The delivery contains:

• Unit

• Power Connector

• User Manual

2. First Start

2.1. Before Start

Check if scope of delivery (see section the included packing list.

Installation in rack

When installing the should make sure that the housing has the necessary air exchange and if one P56x Series mounted on top of the other you should have a cooling system that produces an air current to prevent heat accumulation.

Avoid dust, humidity, and temperature extremes. Do not place the product in any area where it may become wet.

7. Error handling

In case of an error, there are three possible states:

a) The LED STATUS 1 is permanently off.

b) The LED ERROR is permanently on.

c) The LED STATUS 1 is permanently off and the LED ERROR is permanently on.

The first measure could be a re-start of the unit by either switching the AC power off and ( after a few seconds ) on again, or by triggering a re-start through the web-interface, or the front panel keyboard ( refer to section 6.1 Via front panel keyboard). If the error persists, the configuration should be checked for unreasonable parameters, like the ASI-transport stream bit rate being too low or much too high, or an unsupported MPEG2/4-encoding bit rate.
