Re: Multi-channel AES/EBU to consumer digital surround converter?

Ah,

Forgot to mention the converter comes with a d sub breakout cable. On the one end of the box you input the d sub connector. The other end of the d sub connector are 8 xlr connectors ( 4 in and 4 out) With two converters you get 8 in and 8 out. You plug the transformers onto the xlr and then the bnc for the aes into your interface (kona) or in my case the IOHD. So in your case, I believe the kona 3 comes with similar breakout cable. The xlr out should carry two channels. I do not know how to deal with that. Now I am getting confused.

My workflow is:

MBPro to IOHD. IOHD 4 digital AES outs to transformer. Transformer to xlr to d sub cable which takes two channels and splits into 4 outputs. Since I have two converters, I get 6 analog ouputs. I map outputs in final cut pro timeline to each aes output on IOHD. What comes out on other end are 8 discrete channel. My receiver has 8 discrete inputs (I use an xlr to RCA cable.

Hope this helps.
