Abstract:
1. A Digital Multiplex lighting protocol (DMX) encoder, comprising: a DMX input port configured to receive a DMX data stream having DMX data; a level shifter configured to shift the DMX data stream to a Transistor-Transistor-Logic (TTL) level; a universal asynchronous receiver and transmitter configured to format the DMX data stream into a plurality of packets; a digital signal processor configured to insert the plurality of packets into an Audio Engineering Society/European Broadcasting Union (AES) digital audio stream to produce an encoded data stream carrying the DMX data; an AES formatter configured to shift the encoded data stream to an unbalanced AES digital audio stream; and a transformer configured to transform the unbalanced AES digital audio stream to a balanced AES digital audio stream.
