CONVERT EVERYTHING.
WITH ANYTHING.

SERIES

Multi-format. Highly Affordable. Most flexible.

Ultra-compact converters
+ Switchable format boards

A Flexiverter is an ultra-compact box with a main format, dual power supply and a slot for a switchable AUX board, which adds the conversion format to the FLX unit. At the moment 5 FLX units and 10 AUX boards are available.

Pick two of these formats and combine them in one 9.5 inch Flexiverter box:

MADI
OPTICAL/COAXIAL/SFP
AES3
AVB
Analog Out AES50
Format combinations provide the most common conversions with improved features and unique pairings
(e. g. AES50 <> Dante, Dante <> Dante SRC, Dante <> AVB).

Flexiverter Rack Mounts

Devices can be mounted “face-to-front” or “back-to-front”.

Single Flexiverter Rack Mount

1 RU L/R Rack Mount for one Flexiverter unit

Dual Flexiverter Rack Mount

3-part 1 RU Rack Mount for two Flexiverter units

THE BACK PANEL: MOST FLEXIBLE

The main format I/O section on every FLX unit is different, the rest of the back panel is identical.

The FlexLink connection

The FlexLink connection is designed to connect two Flexiverters, or one Flexiverter with the Multiverter. It provides:

  • 192×192 channels bi-directional transmission of 24-bit uncompressed audio (fully transparent to AES3 compatible metadata bits)
  • Super-low link latency of 4 samples (ca. 83μs)
  • Dedicated, high-quality reference clock signal with automatic configuration
  • Power supply for connected devices (to reduce cabling), alternatively serves as redundancy scheme when both devices are powered: in case of power failure, both devices keep working from the remaining power supply.
  • Uses standard HDMI cables (with locking screws), to provide easy field replacement in case of defects.
