AES50-2011 (r.2017): AES standard for digital audio engineering - High-resolution multi-channel audio interconnection
Printing Date:
2011-09-21
Publication History:
Ed.1 2005; Rev. 2011; Stabilized 2017
Abstract:
This new edition revises AES50-2005 and contains amendments resulting from a real-world implementation of the standard.
HRMAI provides a professional multi-channel audio interconnection with a number of distinctive characteristics:
\95 Support for a wide range of commonly-used digital audio coding formats
\95 Low and deterministic latency
\95 Use of ubiquitous ?Category-5? data cable
\95 Interconnect span up to 100 m
\95 High-quality full-duplex clocks transmitted in parallel with audio data
\95 Full-duplex audio interconnection
\95 5 Mbit/sec full-duplex
auxiliary data connection, compatible with Ethernet networks.

HRMAI is a high-performance point-to-point audio interconnection rather than a network, although the auxiliary data
may operate as a true network, independently of the audio.

Companion document AES-R6-2005 provides additional background information and implementation guidelines.
