QTP DB25 Pin out standards

I had an integrator call today asking what the compatible pin outs of the QTP-DB25 adapters were .

QTP-DB25M and QTP-DB25M use the Tascam DB25 Pinout.
Channels 1-4 terminate to one RJ45 and 5-8 to the other.

DB25Pinout
If you are using AES in and out the pin out is identical.
CH 1-4 are IN 1-4  and CH 5-8 are OUTPUT 5-8 Tascam1

The Third Compatible pin out is the Yamaha AES pin out.  The QTP-DB25Y is only available in a male DB25 connector.  The IN the first RJ45 and OUT the second.

All the RJ 45 connectors terminate to the TIA -B standard and use the following pair and polarity designation
