D21m System
6.3.11 EtherSound® Card (,,) (Details: www.digigram.com)		

The EtherSound® card allows connecting the D21m I/O System to an EtherSound® network. Towards the D21m system, it acts similar to a MADI card
combined with a GPIO card. The number of audio channels used can beconfigured with DIP switches. The included, virtual GPIO card allows, e.g.,routing a GPO of the mixing console to the GPO of a distant EtherSound®
device on the network. Configuration of the EtherSound® network is performed either through the ETH CTRL connector or from a remote locationon the EtherSound® network, e.g. using the EtherSound® EScontrol software.		 The EtherSound® card works with EtherSound® ES-Giga System Transport
networks or with EtherSound® ES-100 Audio Transport networks. The operating mode of the card (ES-100 or ES-Giga) is selected by setting jumper J22(see opposite page). The selected mode will be displayed on the front panel
LEDs.		 The audio clock of the EtherSound® network must be synchronous with theD21m I/O system’s audio clock. This is ensured either by using the EtherSound® card as clock source of the EtherSound® network, or by feeding thedevice that is actually the EtherSound® network clock source with a wordclock synchronous with the D21m I/O system’s audio clock.		
This card works at sampling rates of 44.1 or 48 kHz (88.2/96 kHz ready).

ES CLOCK Green: The card is the clock source of the EtherSound® network.		
Red (only in case of a ring network topology): The card was defined to be
the clock source of the EtherSound® network, but it is not, due to a device orcable failure in the ring.		
Flashing red (only in case of a ring network topology): The card was notdefined to be the clock source of the EtherSound® network, but it actually is,due to a device or cable failure in the ring located just next to the card.		
Dark: The card is not the EtherSound® clock source.
