Device Details 

IC422 and IC485 - Intercom Ports 

Each  four-wire  intercom  port  is  complete  with  a  line  level  input,  line  level  output  and  a  bi-directional  RS422  or 
RS485 (device specific) serial communication link, allowing seamless integration with Clear-Com or RTS intercom 
systems. 
The intercom ports are duplicated with a reversed pinout (TO MATRIX and TO PANEL) to allow connections to 
intercom matrix frames, user key-panels and interfaces using straight Cat5 cables. 

ICAES - AES3 Duplex Ports 

Each  duplex  port  provides  one  fully  32-bit  transparent  AES3  input  and  output  on  a  single  RJ45  connector, 
allowing  seamless  integration  with  AES-based  intercom  systems.  Intercom  matrix  and  INTERCOM-ICAES 
devices must synchronise to the same system clock. 

IC444 - Line Level I/O and GPIO 

The IC444 module is populated with 37 pin male and female D-Sub connectors. The female connector has 4 line 
level inputs and 4 optically isolated General Purpose Inputs (GPI).  The male connector has 4 line level outputs 4 
General Purpose Outputs (GPO). Aux12V DC and +5V DC power is available on both connectors, allowing 
up to 100mA of current to be drawn from each IC444 module. The V3R-FX-INTERCOM unit can be equipped with 
one IC444 module, while X6R-FX-INTERCOM can be equipped with two IC444 modules. 

Optocore Fibre Optic Connection 

The  device  is  equipped  with  the  Optocore  FX  communication  module.  The  OPTOCORE  ®  OPTICAL  DIGITAL 
NETWORK SYSTEM utilizes Time Division Multiplex technology (TDM) with a Fibre Channel based 8B10B-NRZI-
coding.  Static  time  slots  guarantee  a  synchronous  transmission  of  all  channels,  at  all  times,  without  the  use  of 
dynamic bandwidth or latency. All signals connected to the intercom, audio, video, word clock and auxiliary ports 
of  the  device  are  transmitted  simultaneously  on  one  fibre  while  the  second  fibre  of  the  LINK-Interface  receives 
data from the network. The second LINK-Interface pair is identical to the first one, and can optionally be used for 
network redundancy. 

SANE Ports 

The device is equipped with two RJ45 200MBit SANE Ports, capable of transmitting 64 channels of synchronous 
audio and 100MBit Ethernet. SANE 2 port is compatible with MADI over Cat protocol 

RS485 

The  auxiliary  ports  provide  four  RS485  ports  to  establish  a  maximum  of  four  half-duplex  or  two  full-duplex 
connections between devices. A wide range of bi-directional and unidirectional standards can be connected to the 
ports,  such  as  RS485,  CAN-Bus  (bi-directional,  requires  special  firmware  version),  or  RS422,  DMX  and  MIDI 
(unidirectional). The ports automatically sense whether they are sending or receiving control data.  
The ports and their destinations are configured in the OPTOCORE CONTROL software.. 

Word Clock 

Devices  with  Optocore/SANE  modules  are  equipped  with  an  internal,  high  quality,  low  jitter  clock  generator  as 
well as Word Clock inputs and outputs. Any device on the network can act as the master of the network and pass 
Word Clock to networked Optocore/SANE devices.  
The internal/networked Word Clock is available at the Word Clock output connector of each device on the network 
to synchronize non-networked devices.  
In standalone network configurations external synchronization is not required. 
The  Word  Clock  input  termination  can  be  switched  on  using  the  OPTOCORE  CONTROL  software’s  Local 
Settings. External termination is not required to avoid cable reflections. 

Word Clock master negotiation after any Word Clock source failure is done automatically.   

Transmission Delay 

The  Optocore  system  delay,  including  the  matrix,  is  a  fixed  41,6 

µ

s  @  48  kHz  for  all  channels.  The  additional 

transport delay per Optocore unit on the network (<200 ns) is insignificant in comparison. Overall system delay is 
dependent  on  the  converters  used  and  the  length  of  network  cables  in  the  system.  Assuming  ‘normal’  cable 
lengths of <700 m per link, the additional delay is considered marginal. 
The transmission delay is constant between any points in the network.
