PRODUCT OVERVIEW 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 DA302A can be installed in any position in the MF100 or MF104 Serialboxx frame. The 75 Ohm AES input and output signal connections are made via 75 Ohm BNC connectors.

The output signals of the DA302A may be synchronized to the internal 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.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW 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 DA304A can be installed in any position in the MF100 or MF104 Serialboxx frame. The 75 Ohm AES input and output signal connections are made via 75 Ohm BNC connectors. For 110 Ohm operation, TB103 is required.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW 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 ranging 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:

• Input 1 or 2, stereo

• Input 1 or 2, left plus right

• Input 1 or 2, left minus right

• Input 1 and 2, stereo mix

• Internal Test tone

• Delayed audio (20 seconds max) 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 programmability of the DSP component on the DA305 card enables various audio related functions to be addressed such as time delay, equalization, automatic gain control, etc.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW The SD405A card is a one group muxer, designed to receive four mono or two stereo analog audio channels and embed these into a serial digital video signal at its’ output.

The SD405A is designed to receive digital video signals transmitted over 75 Ohm coaxial cable. An adaptive cable equalizer provides equalization for high-bit-rate digital data transmitted over a long transmission line.

The SD405A can be installed in any position in the MF100 or MF104 Serialboxx frame. The TB102 termination assembly (included), amounts on the rear of the MF100 or MF104 frame directly behind the slot where the SD405A is installed. The balanced analog audio input signals appear on Phoenix pluggable screw terminals on the TB102. The 75 Ohm SDI input and output signals are made via the BNC connectors.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW 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.

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.

By combining signal distribution and SDI 4:2:2 to PAL or NTSC conversion 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 rackmounted) encoding devices is eliminated.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW The SD406B is a “full monitoring” distribution amplifier providing two reclocked serial video outputs, two analog video monitor outputs and the stereo analog audio outputs of the selected embedded group. The SD406B also has an automatic cable equalizer, at the input, which provides reliable reception of high-data-rate (143-360 Mbps) digital signals over cable runs up to 300m long.

The multi-function SD406B includes demuxing, stereo analog audio conversion, 4:2:2 to PAL or NTSC conversion and signal distribution on the same card. The combination of these features makes the SD406B the complete, cost effective solution for monitoring the signal components of the serial video signal. Lower cost analog audio and video monitors can be used to listen to and view the serial signal. Using the SD406B saves valuable rack space and eliminates the need for external (in-line or rack mounted) conversion and/or encoding devices.

The SD406B 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. On the SD406B, an LED signals whether both audio streams within the selected group are present.

The SD406B may be field programmed to demux any one of the four embedded audio groups. The SD406B can support 20 or 24 bit audio.The SD406B provides a level trim for in field calibration of the analog audio outputs. The analog audio outputs can be jumpered for stereo or mono.

The SD406B can be installed in any position in the MF100 or MF104 Serialboxx frame. The SD406B is supplied with a TB102 termination assembly. The TB102 mounts on the rear panel of the MF100 or MF104 directly behind the slot where the SD406B is installed.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW 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.

For unbalanced 75 Ohm digital audio signals we recommend the use of a Ward-Beck IMP-1M in-line impedance matching converter.

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, emphasis, 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.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW 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 appropriate 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 impedance, stereo analog audio signals are provided on two tip-ringsleeve jacks.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW The RLM12D/RLM24D meter maybe equipped to handle 75 Ohm unbalanced (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.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW The SLM8 loudness meter is a portable desktop unit that displays the average (VU) and peak (PPM) content of up to eight audio signals simultaneously. 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 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.

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.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW 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 sources 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.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW The D8206 is an AES reference tone generator which can simultaneously 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 predetermined 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.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW 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.

reference is then connected to the frame reference BNC connector. 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.

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

PRODUCT OVERVIEW 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. Reconfiguring 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.

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 finger 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.

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

PRODUCT OVERVIEW The D6207A is a DolbyE/AC3 decoder with SRC designed for broadcast 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.

The D6207A supports audio sampling frequencies from 32kHz to 48 kHz. The D6207A is housed in the openGear DFR8300 series frames.

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, depending 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.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW 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.

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

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

PRODUCT OVERVIEW 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.
