Midiman CO3(TM) AES/EBU, S/PDIF, Optical Converter

April 8, 1999 -- A natural follow on to Midiman's popular CO2 converter, the CO3 converts between AES/EBU, S/PDIF Coax and TOSlink format digital audio streams. The third-rack CO3 has AES/EBU, S/PDIF Coax and TOSlink inputs and outputs. A mode button determines which input is the audio source (master), and the other two inputs are then ignored. The source input is converted to all three output formats simultaneously. Sample rates of up to 100kHz are supported with built-in jitter correction.
