POD7 is a control interface module designed for use where isolation

is required between console logic level outputs and the controls

of external devices, such as CD players, ON AIR lights, etc. The

unit provides eight inputs (logic level or opto-couple) which can be

mapped to ten open collector outputs and/or four form C relays.

POD7 also includes a small, switchable amplifier capable of driving a

2W, 8 Ohm speaker.

Logic inputs require a closure to ground, while opto-coupled inputs

require a properly polarized voltage ranging from 3 to 28 Volts.

Factory options for POD7 include custom mapping of input control to

outputs and RS422/485 serial control.

GENERAL




POD9 is a six by one video selector. POD9 may be used in conjunc-

tion with an analog audio switcher (POD2), or a digital audio switcher

(POD10) for audio follow video applications.

When slave mode is engaged, any channel selection on the video

switcher will result in the same selection on the audio switcher and

vice versa. The video switching on POD9 occurs in the vertical in-

terval. If the currently selected input does not have valid sync, POD9

will switch randomly. POD9 may also be controlled remotely using its

RS422 serial interface.

or AES reference or it can be synched to an internally generated 96

kHz or 48 kHz reference. POD33 is designed to selectively provide

a 100 Hz, 400 Hz or 1 kHz tone at amplitudes ranging from Digital

Silence through -60 dBFS to 0 dBFS. POD33 has four independent

digital outputs. Each output is available as an unbalanced 75 Ohm

or balanced 110 Ohm signal. These outputs can be individually set

to be either an AES reference or a Word Clock signal. The level and

frequency for each individual output can be set independently.

The DA302A DARS Generator card is used to generate digital audio

reference signals. This unit offers two copies of three independent

outputs. Outputs one and two may be programmed to provide tone

or digital silence while the signal on output three is a word clock. The

DA302A can provide signal levels of 0, -12, -14, -16, -18, -20, or -60

dBfs at frequencies of 400 or 1000 Hz.

The output signals of the DA302A may be synchronized to the inter-

nal 48 kHz oscillator, an external AES signal (22 to 96 kHz), or to an

external composite video signal. Resolution of the output signal is

selectable between 20 or 24 bit.

Status LEDs on the front edge of the card indicate whether the card

is locked to an external reference signal, its internal 48 kHz oscillator

or if there is a signal error.

The DA304A card is a digital audio sample rate converter with a

dynamic range of 120 dB. The DA304A accepts AES input signals with

sampling rates from 22 to 96 kHz. The sample rate conversion ratios

of the DA304A range from 1:3 to 3:1.

The DA304A may be synchronized to an external AES reference.

When an AES reference (22 to 96 kHz) is used, the sample rate of the

resulting output will be the same as the reference signal. If a reference

signal is not present, the DA304A will perform as an ordinary digital

distribution amplifier and pass the signal through unaltered.

The DA305A is a low cost multi-function digital audio processing

distribution amplifier. The most common use of the DA305A is to

adjust the level of the AES audio stream in the digital domain using

DSP technology. The DA305A can be configured to operate as a

gain trim (-15 to +15dB) or as an audio volume control device (digital

silence to +12dB).

The DA305A accepts two AES audio inputs with sample rates rang-

ing from 22kHz to 96kHz The second input is typically used as a

reference input for the sample rate converter on the main channel.

The second input can be connected directly to the termination of

the cards, or it can be connected to the internal reference bus of the

MF100 frame. Alternatively, the second input can be treated as an

audio channel for mix or dual level matching applications.

The DA305A has eight output splits which are grouped into two

groups of four (Out1 and Out2). Each output group can be jumpered

to deliver different combinations of the input signals including:

•Input1or2,stereo

•Input1or2,leftplusright

•Input1or2,leftminusright

•Input1and2,stereomix

•InternalTesttone

•Delayedaudio(20secondsmax)

Multi-turn potentiometers located on the front edge of the card

provide level control of the audio signal(s). Additionally, the DA305A

can provide remote gain capabilities allowing audio level control from

an external potentiometer or via its RS485 serial port. The program-

mability of the DSP component on the DA305 card enables various

audio related functions to be addressed such as time delay, equal-

ization, automatic gain control, etc.

The SD406A has status indicators located along the front edge of the

amplifier card to signal the presence or lack of a viable serial video

signal at the input. The SD406A may be installed in any position in an

MF100 or MF104 Serialboxx frame.

The SD406A is a versatile digital video distribution amplifier that

provides four reclocked serial digital video outputs, as well as four

analog video monitor outputs of the input signal. An automatic cable

equalizer, at the input, provides reliable reception of high-data-rate

(143-360 Mbps) digital signals over cable runs up to 300m long.

By combining signal distribution and SDI 4:2:2 to PAL or NTSC con-

version on the same card, the SD406A offers the ideal solution for

reducing costs in component serial installations. The analog video

outputs allow for full colour monitoring of the serial digital video

signal using low cost analog video monitors. Valuable rack space is

saved and the additional expense for external (in-line or rackmount-

ed) encoding devices is eliminated.

The “Audio Bit Buddy™” is the convenient way to monitor both

digital (AES/EBU, S/PDIF) and analog audio signals. This unit is ideal

for any studio or technical environment where digital or analog audio

signals are used. The low cost, high function design places the Audio

Bit Buddy™ in high demand for servicing experts in professional

and consumer facilities including broadcast installations, production

studios, signal distribution facilities and other locations where digital

and analog audio signals are used.

Digital and analog program audio can be listened to via the headphone

output while the signal levels are displayed on a stereo LED bargraph

meter. Critical signal parameters such as sampling frequency, empha-

sis, professional or consumer format and data errors are displayed

when monitoring AES/EBU or S/PDIF signals. The unit monitors

signals with sampling frequencies from 30kHz to 50kHz automatically.

It may also be synchronized to an external sampling frequency.

For unbalanced 75 Ohm digital audio signals we recommend the use

of a Ward-Beck IMP-1M in-line impedance matching converter.

The Audio Bit Spitter™ is a companion to the ABB-1 Audio Bit

Buddy™. This portable, battery powered unit generates digital and

stereo analog audio test signals that may be injected into the signal

path when testing device performance or signal path continuity with

an Audio Bit Buddy™.

The ABS-1 generates an AES/EBU digital audio signal, 1kHz or

400Hz, at the three most commonly used sampling rates of 48 kHz,

44.1 kHz or 32 kHz. The unit may also be synchronized to an external

digital reference signal. Digital signal output levels of -20, -12 and 0

dBFS are selectable. Stereo analog tones of 1 kHz or 400 Hz may

also be selected at levels of -16, -8 and +4 dBu. To differentiate

between the CH A and CH B (left and right) signals, the unit provides

the option to cycle and/or invert the CH B (right) signal or to turn it off

completely. To test the integrity of a digital receiver the ABS-1 can

generate invalid bits in the AES/EBU bit stream.

Powered by four rechargeable AA Nicad cells the ABS-1 is always

ready to go. For bench work, the unit may also be powered by an

AC adapter. With the AC adapter plugged in, the internal batteries

recharge automatically.

Balanced, 110 Ohm, AES/EBU connections are made via the ap-

propriate XLR-3 type connectors located on the rear panel. For

unbalanced 75 Ohm signals we recommend the use of WBS in-line

impedance converters, IMP-1F for the digital output signal and

IMP-1M for the external reference input. Balanced, low output im-

pedance, stereo analog audio signals are provided on two tip-ring-

sleeve jacks.

The RLM12D/RLM24D meter maybe equipped to handle 75 Ohm un-

balanced (BNC connectors) or 110 Ohm balanced ( Phoenix 3-pin) AES

/ EBU digital audio signals. The inputs are located on the rear panel.

The RLM12D provides 12 stereo LED bar-graph meters and the

RLM24D provides 24 stereo LED bar-graph meters. Each bar-graph

meter displays both VU and Peak information simultaneously.

Below each meter pair there is an LED illuminated pushbutton switch.

If the input signal is lost, the LED in the pushbutton switch illuminates

and the internal audible alarm is activated. The audible alarm can be

cancelled by pressing the pushbutton. The LED will remain illuminated

until the signal is restored. Loss of signal can be due to interruption,

extended silence that exceeds a preset time period or a signal that

falls below the preset threshold for an extended time period.

The RLM12D/RLM24D meter panels are equipped with a removable

power supply. Optionally a second removable power supply, wired

in a dual redundant configuration, may be added. The system will

operate properly with only one supply. Dual redundancy is extended

to the primary A.C. mains. Each power supply has its own IEC, fused

power socket and connects via a detachable molded power cord to

the A.C. mains. The unit provides GPO that may be connected to an

external device to indicate power or signal loss.

The unit operates from A.C. mains source from 95 to 240V at 50 to 60Hz

and occupies two rack units of standard 19 inch rack space (3.5 inches).

Independent adjustment of threshold detection level ranging from 20dB

to –70dB for each meter pair is available from an optional central control

panel. The allowable duration of silence may also be adjusted over a range

from 0 to 240 seconds by the central control panel.

The SLM8 loudness meter is a portable desktop unit that displays the

average (VU) and peak (PPM) content of up to eight audio signals si-

multaneously. Each meter comprises 61 LEDs in a vertical bar-graph

arrangement. A status LED associated with each AES input displays

“LOCK” when a viable signal is connected. Three other LEDs display

the types of signal that are connected, PCM, Dolby E or Dolby D.

The unit may be equipped with the optional Dolby decoder. There

are three modes of operation that can be set for the SLM8. The unit

must be set to MODE 1 or MODE 3 when the Dolby card is present.

In MODE 1 only input 1 is active and the meter is used to decode and

display all eight component channels of a Dolby E signal. In MODE

3 inputs 1 and 4 are active. Input 1 would be used for a six channel

Dolby (E or Digital) signal and input 4 may be used for a PCM signal.

When a Dolby decoder is not installed the unit should be set to

MODE 2 and can then be used to meter four PCM streams.

The meter can be supplied with balanced, 110 Ohm, inputs on three

pin pluggable terminals or unbalanced, 75 Ohm, inputs on BNCs.

The unit is equipped with a fused AC disconnect and will operate

from mains power that varies from 90 to 230 volts at 50 to 60 Hertz.

2 R.U. AUDIO MONITORING SySTEM

The AMS16-2 is a compact 2 R.U. aural and visual monitor designed

to handle multi-channel format audio signals. Sixteen PPM/VU LED

bargraphs display signal activity while a sophisticated 4 speaker

system allows operators to listen, with great clarity, to the signal

being monitored.

The AMS16-2 accepts two HD/SD SDI signals with embedded audio

at its input. A 2 x1 selector allows switching between the two sourc-

es and provides two re-timed, re-clocked, copies of the selected

input on the rear panel. The selected source is processed to extract

the embedded audio streams (up to sixteen channels) which are then

displayed on the bright LED VU/PPM bar-graph meters. Front panel

controls allows the user to listen to the signals in stereo pairs, as a

mix or the signals may be soloed and listened to individually.

D8206

The D8206 is an AES reference tone generator which can simultane-

ously output two independent reference signals (DARS) as well as a

word clock signal. The two reference signals can be set independently

for tone or digital silence. The D8206 can be locked to an external AES

reference (sample rate 32 to 96 kHz) or to a video black signal, as well

as, an internal 48 kHz oscillator. The D8206 provides two copies of

each of the two DARS as well as word clock output on the termination

assembly. The two independent DARS are represented as Output 1

and 2, refer to Terminal Options sheets for the different configurations.

The DARS signal outputs consist of a Channel A and B. Each can

be set for fixed frequency (400 or 1000 Hz) and one of seven prede-

termined levels varying from -60 to 0dBFS. The D8206 may also be

programmed to provide continuously variable control of the frequency

and output level of either channel. In the variable frequency and level

mode the two front edge, 10 turn, trim controls are used. The upper

trim varies output level while the lower trim varies output frequency.

The D8207 is a 24 bit digital audio sample rate converter with a

dynamic range of 120dB. The D8207 accepts AES input signals with

sampling rates from 22kHz to 96kHz. Sample rate conversion ratios

range from 1:3 to 3:1.This unit may be synchronized to an external

AES/EBU or video reference signal (optional). When an AES/EBU

reference (22 to 96kHz) is used, the sample rate of the resulting

output signal will be the same as the reference signal. When a video

reference signal is used, internal jumpers may be set to generate a

44.1kHz or 48kHz digital output signal. If a reference signal is not

present, the D8207 will perform as an ordinary digital distribution

amplifier and pass the signal through unaltered.

In 75 Ohm installations the video reference signal may be connected

to any D8207 via the BNC termination assembly. The reference is

connected to the sixth output BNC. In 110 Ohm installations, the

D8207 must be inserted in the most right hand card slot. The video

reference is then connected to the frame reference BNC connec-

tor. Any D8207 with a reference input may have its reference output

jumper set, thereby providing a video reference to other 8200 series

cards within the same frame. Please note that any D8207 can be set

to ignore the frame reference signal.

The frame is designed to accept individual rear connector modules

that provide the proper I/O requirements of the installed modular

card. This feature offers great flexibility allowing the end user to

freely mix and match a variety of openGear solutions from analog

audio to 3Gb/s HD video within the same mounting frame. Reconfig-

uring a frame at a later date as needs change is also a breeze.

The front door of the frame can be hinged down for easy access

to the installed modules. It may also be completely removed, no

tools required, to facilitate set up during installation. The front door

includes a retaining assembly that holds all installed modules and

power supplies firmly in place.

A rear mounted reference assembly is provided with each DFR-8320

frame. This assembly provides two individual reference inputs, each

with loop through, on BNC type connectors an Ethernet connection

on an RJ-45 connector and a looped through serial control on two

RJ-45 connectors. The serial control loop through allows up to four

DFR-8320 frames to be connected to a common serial control bus. A

DIP switch array on the reference assembly sets a unique serial bus

address for each frame.

The FINC card, model MFC-8310-N, allows users to communicate

directly with all Dashboard enabled openGear modules. Dashboard

is a Java based free software application that puts status monitoring

and control of openGear modules from a remote location at your fin-

ger tips. The FINC card also connects the optional cooling fan kit to

the frame power supply rail. The supplies will operate with 115 V/60

Hz or 230 V/50 Hz AC mains without any special setup.

The D6207A is a DolbyE/AC3 decoder with SRC designed for broad-

cast use. It takes a Dolby encoded signal and breaks it down into it’s

discrete channels, which are presented at it’s output as AES signal

streams. It also extracts the Metadata embedded within the input

signal and presents this on the output termination.

Please note the following: The D6207A card accepts any AES signal

at it’s input. The signal may be Dolby E or AC3 encoded or PCM. If

the signal is Dolby E the card will output the decoded AES pairs as

(L,R) (C,LFE) (Ls,Rs) (SAP, if present) (Lo,Ro or Lt,Rt, depending on

selection) and Metadata. If the signal is AC3 the card will output the

decoded AES pairs as (L,R) (C,LFE) (Ls,Rs) (Lo,Ro or Lt,Rt, depend-

ing on selection). AC3 does not contain Metadata. If the input is PCM

the D6207A will provide an output on (L,R) and (Lo, Ro/Lt, Rt) as well

as on the input loop all other outputs will be muted.

The D6207A supports audio sampling frequencies from 32kHz to 48 kHz.

GENERAL




The M6204A is an HD/SD SDI AES/EBU Audio Muxer designed for

broadcast use. The M6204A can insert up to eight AES/EBU audio

signals into either an SD SDI or HD SDI signal.

The M6204A will embed audio in accordance with SMPTE 272M &

SMPTE 299M standards.

The M6204A supports 24-bit AES audio embedding for HD and 20-

bit AES audio embedding for SD. In addition the M6204A is Dolby

compliant and automatically disables the sample rate conversion on

the AES inputs to permit seamless Dolby embedding.

Cable equalization and reclocking techniques enable the M6204A to

recover the incoming SD SDI or HD SDI signal reliably.

GENERAL




The M6205A is a single card openGear solution to correct level

errors, shuffle channels or replace incorrect or corrupt audio tracks

embedded in HD or SD SDI signal streams. The audio processing is

performed in a high performance 32 bit, floating point, DSP for

precision control of all audio levels. The card fits into a standard

DFR8320 frame.

The M6205A accepts either an HD or SD serial digital video signal at

it’s input. The signal is equalized and passed along to a demuxer. In

the demuxer stage the embedded AES audio is extracted from the

digital video stream. A total of eight (8) AES signals can be extracted

as per SMPTE specs 272M and 299M.

The digital video component is sent to the muxer while the digital

audio components of the signal is routed to the DSP based audio

processor. Through the use of Dashboard, the free windows

application, the following processing functions can be performed on

the embedded audio signals:

1) - manual level adjust

2) - automatic gain control or level adjust

3) - signal shuffling i.e. reassigning audio to different tracks or channels

4) - substituting embedded AES signals with external AES signals

After the audio is processed the resultant AES signals are routed

to the muxing section where it is re-embedded into the digital

video stream. The card provides two copies of this SDI signal (with

processed audio) at its output. AES digital copies of the first four

processed embedded signals are also available at the output

M6206A is a multi-definition SD/HD SDI audio demultiplexer with the

capability of adding voice-over audio to embedded Dolby signals.

It accepts one SD/HD SDI input and provides a re-clocked copy

of this signal on the rear termination assembly. The four demuxed

AES outputs also appear on the rear termination assembly as 75

Ohm unbalanced signals. All SDI and AES signals are on BNC type

connectors. The GPI/O connections are provided on two three-pin

Phoenix™ pluggable connectors on the rear termination assembly (+

is GPI, - is GPO, G is GND). Proprietary Dolby metadata is provided

as a serial stream on a third pluggable three-pin connector on the

rear panel termination assembly. The M6206A can extract up to two

groups of AES digital audio (four AES signals) simultaneously from

the MD-SDI signal connected to its input.
