About the Binloop
What is the Binloop?
Put simply, the A/V Binloop Uncompressed is a solid-state multi-
channel video player that provides up to 8 separate channels of HD or
2K video, or up to 2 channels of UltraHD (3840x2160) or 4K
(4096x2160) resolution. These video channels can be played together
synchronously or independently from one another. For stand-alone
applications, the Binloop can be configured to play files automatically
based on a programmable timeline. For more complex applications,
this product can be controlled externally by SMPTE/EBU timecode,
MIDI, RS-232, Ethernet or contact closures.
That being said, the Binloop is not your everyday multi-channel video
player. Its ability to provide synchronous playback, impeccable
precision, and a variety of easy-to-use control interfaces requires
unique system architecture. The purpose of this section is to
familiarize you with how the Binloop works so that you can gain a
better understanding of how best to use it to meet your goals.
What’s inside the Binloop?
The Binloop consists of four main types of components –
1. Card Cage
2. Controller Card
3. Reproducer Card(s)
4. CobraNet Card or Dante/AVB Card (optional)
The Card Cage
The Reproducer slots and
Network Audio slot may or may
not be populated depending on
how your Binloop was ordered.
The Card Cage is the ‘skeleton’ that integrates the components of the
Binloop. This cage contains a Power Supply, a status display, a
Controller card slot, a Network Audio card slot, and 8 Reproducer card
slots. The Reproducer card slots are numbered from 1 to 8, from left to
right as viewed from the front of the Binloop.
The back of the Card Cage contains all of the connectors for the Binloop
control interfaces, as well as Audio/Video outputs for all 8 Reproducer
card slots.
