3.16. BC2212. Dual AES 10 MADI module for linking racks.
General description.
The BC2212 board has twice the capacity of the BC 2211 board. The BC 2212 manages up to
128 TDM bus time-slots to send and/or receive them through two 125-Mbps MADI multichannel
digital audio links using coaxial or optical fiber cable. These two MADI links are independent.
This board allows you to interconnect up to three BC 2000 D racks (you can use each of the two
MADI links to connect to other 2 BC2211 or BC2212 boards placed in different 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 or you can use both
links of the board redundantly (link 2 acts as a backup for link 1).
This board is inserted into the rear part of the BC2000DF rack.
Panel description.
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.
