3.15. BC2211. AES 10 MADI module for linking racks.
General description.
The BC2211 board manages 56 or 64 TDM bus time-slots to send and/or receive them through
a 125-Mbps MADI multichannel digital audio link using coaxial or optical fiber cable. This board
allows you to interconnect two BC 2000 D racks, or to connect any other MADI equipment item.
It is compliant with the AES-10 standard.
You can install two modules with the same link for redundancy purposes.
This board is inserted into the rear part of the BC2000DF rack.
Panel description.
'HW ERROR' red LED*: this LED will turn on when the
system starts and, depending on its status, it will indicate
during normal operation:
-
Configured and active board: fast blinking.
-
Not configured board: slow blinking.
-
Board start error: LED on and fixed.
-
Board configured in backup mode: LED off.
1.6-5.6 'SYNC OUT' female coaxial connector: word-
clock synchronism output with TTL level.
SC 'Rx' and 'Tx' connectors: FDDI PMD optical fiber
interface with a range of 2000 meters (if your installation
entails a range greater than 2000 meters, contact our sales
department).
1.6-5.6 female 'Rx' and 'Tx' coaxial connectors: 75-ohm
coaxial cable interface with a range of 50 meters.
*
This operation way of 'HW ERROR' LED is valid for 1.42 microcontroller
module firmware version (and later versions).
