Digidesign DSO Output Card for D-Show

The DSO (Digital Stage Output) card provides eight channels of digital outputs to your VENUE system. The eight digital outputs are available via four two-channel AES/EBU XLR connectors along with an ADAT optical interface, providing simultaneous output to both connector types. The DSO card is installed in the VENUE Stage Rack. Up to six DSO cards may be installed in a Stage Rack, providing a total of 48 channels of digital outputs. For DSO card installation instructions, see Chapter 2, “Installing Option Cards.”
