Device Description
Congratulations on your purchase of a DD32R-FX Digital I/O Module for Optocore and SANE with video, Ethernet
and data interfaces. The DD32R-FX manual will quickly demonstrate its advantages and help to ease your day-to-
day workload in a professional audio visual environment.
The DD32R-FX is a digital I/O unit and interface to the OPTOCORE
®
and SANE
®
DIGITAL NETWORK SYSTEM.
It offers four principal ports for connection and transport of a total of 32 AES/EBU digital audio pairs, which equals
64 mono channels. These ports are user defined as inputs or outputs in groups of four. Device can operate in
sample rates up to 192 kHz (sample rates above 96 kHz are available upon request).
Redundant fibre connections can be established using the two provided SFP based LC multimode or singlemode
optical LINK-interfaces. The dual redundant ring structure provides maximum safety in a network with an
outstanding low latency. It facilitates the use of the advantages of fibre optical transmission in all sorts of
temporary and permanent applications, especially when long distance connections and high-quality audio are
required.
The DD32R-FX enables to connect to the SANE network via RJ45 ports. It is possible to use SANE as a Cat5
based cost-efficient extension to the optical core system. SANE ports may be used as point-to-point MADI over
Cat5 or as a bridge interface between SANE and OPTOCORE, providing up to 128 input and 128 output channels
additionally to the principal AES/EBU ports.
The DD2FR-FX provides both word clock input and output. It includes also bi-directional composite video
interfaces. Additionally four RS485 ports allow the transport of a wide range of standards such as RS422, DMX,
MIDI, and CAN-Bus (bi-directional, requires special firmware version). In addition to the audio signals, video and
data signals are transmitted through the common fibre connection. The dual
power supply unit, with automatic
switchover, permits a redundant power supply and safeguards against malfunctions in the event of a power
supply failure.
In combination with the other Optocore devices DD32R-FX offers a great flexibility to build the network exactly
fitting the applications’ needs. For example, in combination with a X6R-FX on Stage it is the perfect interface to a
digital console at FOH. A DD32R-FX on stage can be used as an interface to all external microphone preamps
with AES/EBU outputs. With Yamaha and Optocore microphone preamps the DD32R-FX enables the gain control
of the preamps on stage from a Yamaha digital console at FOH. The DD32R-FX is not only an audio interface,
but also a video and data interface for a broad range of control data standards. If analogue inputs and outputs are
needed the DD32R-FX serves as the I/O unit for the converter units of the X6R/V3R or older X6P-series.
Networks with several DD32R-FX and other Optocore or SANE devices allow the transport of a huge amount of
digital data, e.g. 7686 audio channels with a sample rate of 48 kHz, 32 RS485 channels and three video
channels, 100MBit Ethernet. Depending on the fiber optic transceivers, distances from 700 m up to 70 km can be
covered (100m by Cat5 SANE).
The DD32R-FX and X6R/V3R-TP can be used together in a SANE CAT5 Network (64 audio channels +
Ethernet). Combinations of SANE and OPTOCORE
®
OPTICAL DIGITAL NETWORK SYSTEM (up to 1024 input
channels) can be made with the DD32R-FX and other Revolution FX devices to exchange audio channels,
Ethernet and Gain Control. All parameters on the I/O Module can be controlled and monitored with the same
software application as all other Optocore devices: OPTOCORE CONTROL software. They allow for the
distribution of various channels of I/O at the different locations throughout your digital Optocore and/or SANE
network.
The Word Clock IN and OUT connections enable the synchronisation of the units to an external source and are
used to pass the word clock from one unit to the next. For stand-alone applications, the devices are equipped with
an internal word clock generator.
The DD32R-FX units can be operated and controlled via the OPTOCORE network with OPTOCORE CONTROL
software without the need for any external data cable. For control the USB, RS232 or LAN ports on the front / rear
panels can be used.
All Optocore devices are designed and built using the latest programmable microprocessors and FPGA (field
programmable gate array) logic circuitry. This allows the devices internal logic to be updated, in the field, ensuring
a continual state-of-the-art device.
