Page 7: Device Description
Device Description Optocore TECHNOLOGY Optocore™ is a technology platform for sending large amounts of audio, with very low latency around a fiber-based network. This transport (and management system) is of very high quality, suitable for concerts, recording studios, and broadcast applications. SANE™ is a spin-off technology that adapts this same technique to a smaller network (Ethernet) and at a lower cost. - Page 8 rack unit of a 19" rack. The FPGA (field programmable gate array) based concept of the internal logic circuitry permits updating of the hardware with the use of the units remote ports, ensuring a continual state-of-the-art device. OPTOCORE CONTROL software is used to change the configuration or define own settings. It provides easy access to all configuration and control tools, including routing, naming, gain setting, and phantom power activation for attached devices such as PG16-FX, PG16-TP, PG8-FX, or PG8-TP, storage and recall of configurations on the computer, off- and online mode, real-time level display of the individual channels in online mode.

Page 12: Device Details
Device Details Fiber Optic Connection The ProGrid uses a digital Time Division Multiplex technology (TDM) with a fiber channel based 8B10B-NRZI- coding. Static time slots guarantee the synchronous transmission of all channels at any time with no demand for dynamic bandwidth. All signals attached to the audio, video, word clock and auxiliary ports of the device are transmitted simultaneously on one fiber. -
Page 13: Video Ports
The word clock outputs are used for the synchronization of external devices with digital I/Os such as preamps, controllers and consoles. All connected devices with digital I/Os have to get the word clock from the ProGrid device with which they exchange digital audio data. The ProGrid network is used to distribute the word clock. Video Ports A video in- and output is integrated for the transmission of composite video signals. -
Page 14: Control
Control All system and device parameters are set on a PC connected to the device via RS232 or USB port by use of the OPTOCORE CONTROL software. Third party protocols for device controlling can be used, if previously adapted by ProGrid. -
Page 15: Channel Allocation
Channel Allocation The standard channel allocation for 2 Gbit network is as follows: Audio 768 Channels @48 KHz RS485 Data 32 Channels Video 3 CVBS Video Channels * Ethernet 100 MBit Fast Ethernet * * If the network is used for the transport of Ethernet compatible data the capacity is reduced to one CVBS video channel plus 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet. -
Page 16: Connectors And Cables
Connectors and Cables Optical Connection The dual optical LINK-interfaces are equipped with duplex LC connectors. The PG2-MADI-C-FX is equipped with standard SFP transceivers which can be changed by the user. Standard LC cables with two fibers can be used. Worst case reach is 700 m with multimode transceivers and a 50 µm fiber, while in singlemode transceivers and a 9 µm fiber, up to 70 km are possible. -

Page 18: Starting Up
Starting Up Software Installation Installation requirement for the software is a functioning computer system with Microsoft Windows 2k (Requires installation of GDIplus.dll), XP 32&64Bit, Vista 32&64Bit, Server2003&2008, Windows7 32&64Bit or Mac: Intel based Macs with above OS using Bootcamp/Parallels/VMWare. The computer should be equipped with an USB interface for configuration and remote controlling, and a RS232 interface (or an appropriate USB / RS232 converter) for firmware upgrade. - Page 19 word clock input acts as word clock master of the network, when present. • Clock Setup: All devices in the network must work with the same sample rate. CLOCK SOURCE allows the selection of Auto (BNC priority), INT (internal) or BNC (external) word clock signal. •...

Page 20: Hardware Connection
Hardware Connection Fig. 1 An exemplary network with four devices is shown in . It is established by creating a (non-redundant) loop simply through "daisy-chaining" the units and monitoring the three status LEDs of each device, as revealed through the signal flow in diagram. There is no need to worry about the sequence of neither IDs nor which of the two LINKS of a device is used for connection. -
