No. Since the Aurora is designed to be optionally controlled via AES16 in a Mac or PC, Aurora converters can be installed away from crowded mixing stations. In fact, with Lynx’s proprietary SynchroLock jitter attenuation and rock-solid clock, Aurora converters can be installed up to 500 feet away when used in conjunction with an AES16. This is ideal for permanent installations, arenas, houses of worship, post-production and broadcast facilities.
