Darco/Odyssey Products Model 16RJ-7.1-DSDY-RCA - Dual RJ45-to-DB25 converter with 7.1 surround routing

Odyssey Products Model 16RJ-7.1-DSDY-RCA

Dual RJ45-to-DB25 converter with 7.1 surround routing, and HI/VI breakout RCA connector.

This board is installed at the cinema processor, and performs the following functions:

• It routes the digital AES audio from the industry-standard RJ45 connectors, to the “4XAES / DMA8 / Dolby”DB25 pin configuration used by many cinema processors.
• It physically routes the “7.1” surrounds (AES channels 11/12) to channels 7/8 going into the cinema processor.
• It provides a single RCA output for the HI/VI channels, jumper-selectable for channels 7/8 or 15/16. (NOTE: The output is AES digital audio, NOT analog.)

This board is optimized for routing AES HI/VI to the INPUT 2 connector of CP750 processors (along with an RCA video cable, and RCA/BNC adapter, each sold separately.)


This board is pin compatible with the following processors with the “4XAES”, “DMA8”, or “Dolby” D-sub pin-configuration:

* Dolby CP750
* Dolby CP650 (equipped with Odyssey “AES” -series digital input boards)
* USL JSD-80D
* USL JSD-60D
* QSC DCP-100, -200, -300 (Input 1-8 connector)
* Datasat AP20 (Input 1-8 connector)
* Enpar Audio DCP800D
* D/A converters, such as the DMA8, DMA8Plus, ECI-60, DAX-602, and Gefen Pro II scaler.
* Others.



7.1 audio, and independent decoding of HI/VI-N content with CP750 processors

The CP750 processor is capable of processing 7.1 audio, while simultaneously decoding HI/VI content from servers. The CP750 can be configured to have the “Digital 2” input process the HI/VI digital pair, and output the analog channels on the “AUX OUT” channels 7 and 8 RCA connectors.


The picture above shows a typical installation of the Odyssey 16RJ-7.1-DSDY board, with a short video RCA cable (with BNC adapter) feeding the HI/VI AES pair to the 1xAES “Digital 2” input. The CP750 analog outputs can feed HI/VI content transmitters (units that accept analog inputs).

This CP750 configuration is found in the “General Settings” tab, under Main Output Configuration and HI/VI-N Options. When configured as shown below, the CP750 processes HI/VI signals on Digital 2, independently of the 7.1 audio processed on Digital 1.
