    Albalá Ingenieros | Manual DEF2008C01 1.2. Features • AES/EBU audio input/output interface for the audio daisy chain bus (AUDIOCHAIN) of a TL2000 line terminal. • The AUDIOCHAIN is an interface provided by the backplane of a UR2000 mounting frame that can be used to transmit up to 16 audio channels in each direction between two or more modules installed in adjacent slots.

  • Page 11: Installation

    • The DEF2008C01 module and the mounting frame should always be installed, maintained, operated and removed by personnel with sufficient technical qualifications. The equipment should never be placed in damp areas, near splashing liquid, or in explosive or corrosive atmospheres.
  • Page 12: Environmental Considerations

    1 - Remove the blank panel covering the front of the empty slot chosen for installing the DEF2008C01 in the mounting frame. 2 - Insert the DEF2008C01 module into the front of the mounting frame. The edges of the card slide into two plastic guides inside the mounting frame.

    Albalá Ingenieros | Manual DEF2008C01 3.5. Interconnection The arrangement of the front panel connectors of the DEF2008C01 module is shown in the following figure. Front panel of the DEF2008C01 The DEF2008C01 includes eight AES/EBU audio interfaces (IN1/OUT5, IN2/OUT6, IN3/OUT7, IN4/OUT8, IN5/OUT1, IN6/OUT2, IN7/OUT3 and IN8/OUT4) that can be...
  • Page 14: Digital Audio Connections

    Albalá Ingenieros | Manual DEF2008C01 The front panel has not been designed to support mechanical stress. All cabling in the rack where the mounting frame is located should be properly supported so that the front panel does not provide mechanical support.

    Albalá Ingenieros | Manual DEF2008C01 4. OPERATION This section describes the significance of the front panel indicators of the DEF2008C01 module and their remote control and monitoring ability. 4.1. Front panel description The appearance of the front panel and the elements it contains are shown in the following illustration.
  • Page 16: Functional Description

    4.2. Functional description The DEF2008C01 is an auxiliary TL2000 line terminal module that includes eight digital audio interfaces through which AES/EBU streams can be received for delivery to modules located in adjacent slots or the AES/EBU streams from adjacent modules can be transmitted.
  • Page 17: The Aes/Ebu Inputs

    AES/EBU remains intact. The DEF2008C01 has two operating modes when the input signal is absent: it can stop inserting the audio stream into the AUDIOCHAIN or, by default, it can generate and...
  • Page 18: The Aes/Ebu Outputs

    The status channel used for both channels of the output stream is unique and will come from the left channel. By default the AES/EBU outputs delivered by the DEF2008C01 are synchronized to the AUDIOCHAIN bus audio. If the outputs need to be synchronized to an external AES/EBU reference signal then an ASRC can be activated independently for each pair of outputs.
  • Page 19: Module Remote Control And Supervision

    Albalá Ingenieros | Manual DEF2008C01 4.6. Module remote control and supervision The DEF2008C01 requires remote control for configuration. In order to perform remote configuration and supervision of the module an optional TL2000 family remote communications controller must be installed in the mounting frame.

    Albalá Ingenieros | Manual DEF2008C01 5. GLOSSARY AES/EBU This acronym covers the combined AES and EBU standard for transmission of digital audio. The standard defines a serial interface known as AES3 as per AES, EBU 3250-E as per EBU or ITU-R BS.647-2 as per ITU. The interface originally transmitted two channels (one pair) with PCM coding with a bit depth of 20 or 24 bit and a sampling frequency between 32 kHz and 192 kHz.
