Outputting four audio channels seperately

[Zorro]

Assuming someone works with a four audio channel setting (DV, 32kHz, 4ch): is there a way to output those four audio channels seperately? I know one D/A converter which can handle this (AJA LA-Io) but it's Mac only. Any ideas? TIA!

Edius SD and HD solutions can output up to 8 channels separately...I'm not sure if you can find a cheaper solution on the grass valley/canopus side...

Edius SP SDI is now dirt cheap, under USD3K

But I still would need a SDI to analog converter which provides four analog audio outputs. Any idea?

what about professional DV deck?

4 x XLR in and 4 x XLR out and firewire

Anton, customers uses Beta gear with four audio inputs, that's not the point. The point is: which hardware (converter) can extract the four audio channels embedded in a DV, 32kHz, 4ch stream?

ADVC 3000 will do the Job as well

• 32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 16-bit, 20-bit, 24-bit
  (unlocked/locked, converted to 48kHz locked)

DV

• 32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48KHz, 16bit, 2-channel (unlocked/locked)
• 32kHz, 12-bit, 4-channel (unlocked/locked)

Analog Audio Output (balanced)

• 4 x 3-pin XLR (channel 1 to channel 4)

Can you confirm that the unit will actually convert a DV stream with 4ch audio to eg YUV and four seperate analog audio channels?

[GrassValley_CP]

I can confirm that the ADVC-3000 will accept a 4 audio channel DV signal and output 4 channels of analog audio via the XLR out ports. It is the only ADVC product that will perform that function. List price: $4499 USD

The only other way to get that workflow with a GV product is to buy an EDIUS HD turnkey and use the Multi-input/output box (we call it the "MIP") for that job. Needless to say, that way is a bit more expensive....

Thank you so much for the clarification, Chris!

Being a dealer I'd love to sell my customer an EdiusHD but I think even the ADVC3000 is beyond his budget.

Maybe some day Edius will accept multichannel soundcards for audio output.

I believe EdiusHD is only sold as a Turnkey through Grass Valley/Canopus.

Correct. Unless I'm very much mistaken (and I seem to be making a lot of mistakes lately) the EDIUS HD has always and will always be available as a turnkey system only.

You can also buy it from some of our authorized dealers and system integrators, though the price is the same. For now.
