Audison bit DMI Digital Most Interface

Audison bit DMI Digital Most Interface

As vehicle manufacturers adopt the MOST serial bus management system in their vehicles, it has become increasingly important to find ways to grab and transport their perfectly good digital audio signals to an on-board signal processor or amplifier with a digital input in order to ensure the upmost signal integrity. This in turn enables car owners to upgrade their car audio while maintaining full functions of the vehicle's on-board systems. The bit DMI can pick up the vehicle's MOST signal at any connection point and convert it to a TOSLINK optical output. With many MOST equipped vehicles now handled by this fantastically versatile interface, the future of great sounding car audio is preserved and drivers may once again choose the audio upgrades of their choice.

FEATURES

MOST optical input The Audison bit DMI connects via optical fiber to the multimedia system.

TOSLINK optical output The interface has an S/PDIF optical output to transfer audio data in Stereo PCM 16bitformat, 44.1kHz/48kHz (depending on the system) for use with Audison products with digital input.

Digital controls1 USB/mini B (2.0) for connection to your PC.

ConfigurationVia USB and the appropriate software, the Audison bit DMI can be programmed and updated to work with vehicles equipped with MOST technology.

Start controls The interface switches on and off automatically upon activation or deactivation of the car's MOST system and generates the remote Out signal.

Integration with the OEM source Volume, balance and tone controls are kept intact as well as service signals of the car audio system, such as the speakerphone, navigator and parking sensors.

bit DMI softwareWindows-based (Win2000, XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8).
