Crystal Vision Introduction ADP 310 Functional Block Diagram Block Diagram Description All analogue or digital audio is passed to audio processing blocks where gain and delay adjustments are made after resampling. Dolby E encoded signals automatically bypass the audio processing stage.
Crystal Vision Hardware installation 2 Hardware installation 2.1 Board configuration ADP 310 board top-side Note : The potentiometers P1, P2, P3 and P4 have been factory set and should NOT be adjusted. Holes marked ‘B’ are for the fitting of the I/O piggybacks.
Crystal Vision Hardware installation 2.2 Input and output piggyback boards The ADP 310 board has two positions where one of three types of I/O module can be plugged in to enable analogue or digital input and output. The front position is for audio inputs and the rear for outputs.
Crystal Vision Hardware installation 3G-AOP2 Analogue Output This analogue piggyback has four balanced audio outputs. The links PL1-4 set 0dBFS to +18dBu (to the right, towards SK2/3) or +24dBu (to the left, towards SK1). The four potentiometers P1-P4 are factory set and should NOT be adjusted.
Crystal Vision Hardware installation Fitting the I/O piggybacks onto the main board Example showing 3G-AIP2 and 3G-AOP2 piggybacks fitted The I/O piggybacks plug onto the main board such that main board plugs J3, J4, J5 and J6, J7, J8 align with piggyback sockets SK2, SK3, SK1. With the component side of the module top-most, align the piggyback sockets carefully with the plugs and push firmly.
Crystal Vision Rear modules and signal I/O 3 Rear modules and signal I/O The 2U Indigo 2 frame will house up to 12 single height modules with a single or dual power supply. The 1U Indigo 1 frame will house six single height modules and a single or dual power supply.
Crystal Vision Rear modules and signal I/O Rear module connections with RM74 The RM74 is a dual height module presenting the eight unbalanced AES stereo pairs on 75 ohm BNC connectors. The DIOP4 I/O piggybacks must be used with this rear module as there is no provision for analogue audio I/O.
Crystal Vision General Purpose Interface General Purpose Interface Introduction Each frame slot has up to six connections ‘a-f’ for GPI control and monitoring. These connections are available at the rear of the frame on the 26-way D-Type remote connectors. ADP 310 has four GPI inputs and two GPI outputs.
Crystal Vision General Purpose Interface Alarms GPI Out 5 and 6 (e, f) can be configured to be asserted (logic ‘L’) for a selection of error conditions. There are, in total, a maximum of nine separate alarms for AES audio I/O and three for analogue audio I/O.
Crystal Vision Control and Status monitoring 5 Control and Status monitoring ADP 310 controls and status can be accessed by either the card edge control, the rack front panel or by ‘VisionWeb’ remote control web browser software. ADP 310 is aware of what optional boards are fitted and adjusts the card edge/front panel menu tree accordingly to reflect the options available.
Crystal Vision Control and Status monitoring Reading card edge LEDs Card edge LEDs may be used in conjunction with status information from any connected remote status panel display or from VisionWeb if available. Refer also to the troubleshooting chapter for more help with solving problems and monitoring status information.
Crystal Vision Control and Status monitoring 5.2 Using the front control panel At power up, the LEDs of all eight control panel keys will illuminate briefly. Once the panel has completed its power up and configuration sequence the panel will enter its status mode and display the current software version and frame IP address.
