D19m SYSTEM BASICS 1.1 Introduction The D19m series consists of single cards with a width of 100 mm (Eurocard width) that can be plugged into a 19” frame (3 or 1 height units). The out- put of the input cards feeds a time-division multiplex (TDM) bus. The pur- pose of this bus is to multiplex all the input signals, so that they can directly feed a MADI connection (multiplexer unit/MUX) via a MADI interface.
(+5 V, ±15V), and a connector panel with supply and control connec- tors. The D19m series cards are plugged to the backplane. On the rear side of the backplane, connectors for the power supply, the audio and control signals can be found.
D19m Technical Description 1.2.1 Power Supplies The 3U frames contain two supply units: +5 V/20 A (1.940.606 or, in earlier racks, 1.940.601) ±15 V/3.4 A (1.940.607 or, in earlier racks, 1.940.602) The supply units are plug-in modules. For redundant supply configurations, a special rear panel is required.
Mic/Line cards is contained as well. The built-in fan is temperature-controlled, an overheat condition is indicated by a front-panel LED. For rear-panel wiring, the standard D19m system connector panels can be used (see chapter 1.4). Typical Configuration Examples: 2 ×...

D19m Technical Description Connector Panels All audio and some control (sync, mute) signals are fed to flat cable con- nectors on the rear (solder) side of the backplane PCBs. A range of connec- tor panels can be mounted at the rear of the frames; they are used for linking the frames to the outside world.

1.940.562 The A/D card uses high-end 24 bit Delta-Sigma converters and can be used for standalone applications as well as for the D19m rack. On one card, four analog inputs (mono) are converted to two AES/EBU outputs; if a MADO card is used in the system, these signals can be converted to a MADI link.
