The Avid VENUE DSI-192 is an official OEM, high-resolution digital input expansion card designed for modular Avid VENUE stage racks. Operating as a highly flexible digital audio interface within the S6L system ecosystem, the DSI-192 card adds eight channels of premium, software-controlled digital audio inputs to accommodate broad-format digital peripheral routing.

Engineered for flawless clocking integration in high-resolution live sound and broadcast capture, the card accommodates multi-format digital audio transport over both professional balanced wire and optical transmission lines. Pristine, high-fidelity 24-bit audio resolution is maintained across all processing channels to guarantee transparent signal routing and absolute bit-perfect data integrity.

Key Features

• Flexible Dual-Format Connectivity: Provides access to 8 digital input channels, selectable via four two-channel AES/EBU XLR3-female connectors or a single 8-channel ADAT TOSLINK optical connector.
• Intelligent Clock Synchronization: Equipped with automatic sample rate conversion (SRC) and automatic signal detection upon input connection for immediate system clocking alignment.
• Defeatable Latency Control: The onboard sample rate conversion can be manually bypassed via the software console interface to bypass extra processing and achieve the lowest possible latency for time-critical mixes.
• Peripherals Word Clock Out: Features a dedicated, physical BNC-female Word Clock output connector to distribute sample-accurate master synchronization directly to downstream external digital hardware.
• Real-Time Visual Monitoring: Faceplate is outfitted with hardware LEDs indicating instant Lock status and active Sample Rate Conversion (SRC) states for both the AES/EBU and ADAT input paths.
• Mastering-Grade Fidelity: Delivers uncompromised 24-bit audio resolution to ensure maximum dynamic tracking and transparent signal translation under heavy system loads.

System Compatibility Note: The Avid DSI-192 card is a specialized internal hardware expansion module. It is strictly compatible with the Avid VENUE Stage 64 and Stage 32 remote I/O rack chassis frameworks (each sold separately). It cannot be installed directly into E6L/E6LX processing engines or S6L control surface local local-I/O frames.
