About your A2-73xx
A2-7300 Series units are high quality audio format converters which provide maximum format flexibility for
the audio inputs and outputs of the C2-7310 HD Audio/Video Processor.
A2-7312
The A2-7312 provides an HD-44 interface to 16 AES3-id (8-in/8-out) and a DARS reference input on BNC’s
mounted on a 1RU panel via a 1.5 m (4.5’) interconnect cable. The connectors may be separated from the
panel if system wiring requirements dictate.
Audio inputs and outputs
Visible in the images, the units have:
▪8 x input channels AES3-id on BNC
▪8 x output channels AES3-id on BNC
▪DARS reference on BNC
HD44 Interface
The unit connects directly to the C2-7310 (or other A2-73XX units) via a 44 pin D-type connector, with 8 AES3-
id input channels, 8 AES3-id output channels and the DARS reference.
Power Supply
The A2-7312 does not require any power supply, as it is breakout cable.
A2-7322
The A2-7322 provides an HD-44 to 16 Analog Stereo (8-in/8-out), balanced or unbalanced, on terminals and a
DARS reference input on a BNC connector. This unit contains eight high quality stereo analog to AES3-id
converters, plus eight high quality AES3-id to stereo analog converters. The audio sample rate is user
adjustable in stand alone mode using.
Audio inputs and outputs
Visible in the images, the units have:
▪8 x input channels (8 stereo pairs) analog audio on XLR
▪8 x output channels (8 stereo pairs) analog audio on XLR
▪DARS reference on BNC

Switchable sampling rates
The A2-7322 has a DIP switch setting on the rear of the unit which allows the sampling frequency to be set at
the following rates: 48, 44.1, 32 and 96 kHz. For the required position settings see section 9.
HD44 interface
The unit connects to the C2-7310 (or other A2-73XX units) via a 44 pin D-type connector, via a dedicated cable
supplied with unit, connecting 8 AES3-id input channels, 8 AES3-id output channels, the DARS reference and
communication between the units.
Power supply
The A2-7322 requires a 12V dc input with at least 3 Amps.
A2-7342
The A2-7342 provides an HD-44 to 8 Analog Stereo (4-in/4-out) on XLR’s and a DARS reference input on a BNC
connector. This unit contains four high quality stereo analog to AES3-id converters, plus four high quality
AES3-id to stereo analog. The audio sample rate is user adjustable in standalone mode using DIP.
Audio inputs and outputs
Visible in the images, the units have:
▪8 x input channels (4 stereo pairs) analog audio on XLR
▪8 x output channels (4 stereo pairs) analog audio on XLR
▪DARS reference on BNC
Switchable sampling rates
The A2-7342 has a DIP switch setting on the rear of the unit which allows the sampling frequency to be set at
the following rates: 48, 44.1 and 32 kHz. For the required position settings see section 9.
HD44 interface
The unit connects to the C2-7310 (or other A2-73XX units) via a 44 pin D-type connector, via a dedicated cable
supplied with unit, connecting 4 AES3-id input channels, 4 AES3-id output channels, the DARS reference and
communication between the units.
Power supply
The A2-7342 requires a 12V dc input with at least 3 Amps.

MNL-A2-73xx-SERIES-V2.00 3
DIP switch setting for A2-73XX
The A2-7322 and A2-7342 can have the sampling frequencies set by the position of DIP switches on the rear
of the units when operating remotely (i.e. when not connected to a C2-7310).
The currently supported sampling frequencies are: 48, 44.1 and 32 kHz, plus 96 kHz for the A2-7322.
The positions for the DIP switches are as follows:
Note: An invalid DIP switch position will blank all outputs.
HD44 breakout cable
The HD44 to HD44 cable supplied with the A2-73XX unit, which links it to the C2-7310 or other A2-73XX units,
is only available from tvONE.
DIP Switch 2 Down Only Sets
Sampling Frequency to: 48 kHz
DIP Switch 3 Down Only Sets
Sampling Frequency to: 44.1 kHz
DIP Switch 4 Down Only Sets
Sampling Frequency to: 32 kHz
DIP Switch 1 Down Only Sets
Sampling Frequency to: 96 kHz

tvONE Part Number: ZA7392-2
Description: HD44 (M) to HD44(M) Crossover - 2' (0.6m)
Troubleshooting
If the troubleshooting articles below do not help, contact tvONE support. Contact details for your region are
at the end of this guide.
My unit does not power up
When powered, a power indicator LED illuminates on the front panel of the A2-7322 and A2-7342 only. If this
is not the case, check that the power supply is plugged in and is the correct voltage and polarity.
No audio output
For the A2-7342 and A2-7322, the DIP switches might be set incorrectly. Check that the DIP switches are in
the correct position for your sampling rate.
