Abstract
An sample rate converter for non-audio AES data channels is presented. Channel status (C) information is transferred in 192-bit blocks. Access to received C channel data blocks is allowed, before the blocks are re-transmitted at the output sample rate. This enables users to modify the data, alleviating the effect of data loss caused by different input and output sample frequencies. For U channel status information, U channel status information is transferred as 2×192 bit blocks like the channel status (C) scheme above, as individual information units (IUs), or as messages consisting of 129 IUs. In the latter 2 schemes, the lengths of output inter-IU filler segments or output intemessage filler segments are varied relative to the lengths of inputs inter-IU filler segments or input inter-IU message segments respectively, to compensate for the difference between the input sample frequency and the output sample frequency.
