CTD-300 Composite to AES Converter
The CTD-300 Composite to AES Converter successfully bridges the gap between the analog world and the digital world of audio. The CTD-300 can convert any base band FM stereo waveform into a pair of AES3 outputs suitable for digital input exciters and other equipment. The unit accepts a standard 3.5V peak-to-peak base band signal for decoding to left and right and conversion to AES3 output. The unit can be configured to output de-emphasized left and right analog audio. By simple jumper selection the CTD-300 can be quickly configured to provide AES3 or analog left/right outputs.
The CTD-300 is factory set to accept the standard 3.5 V peak to peak signal from an analog STL or stereo generator. Base band level adjust is provided along with left/right level controls. The CTD-300 is the perfect solution to converting analog base band into a suitable output for digital input equipment.
Whether your application is for the new digital broadcasting standard or you just need to get a signal from one site to another, the CTD-300 is a high quality, affordable solution. The CTD-300 can also be used as a high quality monitor decoder for studio applications. Simply connect an output from your base band modulation monitor and you now have a pair of AES3 outputs of your off air signal. You can also choose left/right analog.
The CTD-300 is another product produced by BDI engineers that is built to high standards and comes with our full one-year warranty on parts and labor.
