Page 7: Device Description
Device Description The PG8/PG4-INTERCOM-FX series was developed in cooperation with some of the world’s leading manufacturers of intercom systems and are fully compatible with Clear-Com or RTS intercom matrixes, user key-panels and interfaces. The PG8/PG4-INTERCOM-FX can be ordered with different quantity and types of inputs and outputs. For Clear-Com intercom systems: PG8-INTERCOM-CC-FX with... - Page 8 The low latency, synchronous, ProGrid network provides the capacity to transport and route up to 1024 audio inputs into thousands of outputs over a redundant network. Redundant fibre connections are established using the two LC multimode, or single mode, 1Gbit or 2 GBit optical transceivers. The dual redundant ring topology uses the advantages of fibre optical transmission in temporary and permanent applications, especially where long distance transport and high-quality audio are required.

Page 13: Device Details
Device Details IC422 and IC485 - Intercom Ports Each four-wire intercom port is complete with a line level input, line level output and a bi-directional RS422 or RS485 (device specific) serial communication link, allowing seamless integration with Clear-Com or RTS intercom systems. The intercom ports are duplicated with a reversed pinout (TO MATRIX and TO PANEL) to allow connections to intercom matrix frames, user key-panels and interfaces using straight Cat5 cables. -
Page 14: Transmission Delay
Transmission Delay The ProGrid system delay, including the matrix, is a fixed 41.6 µs @ 48 kHz for all channels. The additional transport delay per ProGrid unit on the network (<200 ns) is insignificant in comparison. Overall system delay is dependent on the converters used and the length of network cables in the system. -
Page 15: Control
Control All system and device parameters are configured using the Optocore Control software. The system can be configured and controlled centrally, over the ProGrid network, with the exception of the initial configuration of the unique identifier (ID) of the device. The Optocore Control software is capable of running multiple instances on the same PC or by using the Optocore Control software’s Client/Server mode. -
Page 16: Channel Allocation
Channel Allocation The standard bandwidth allocation of an ProGrid network is as follows: 256 Channels @ 48 kHz – 1 Gbit network Audio 768 Channels @ 48 kHz – 2 Gbit network RS485 Data 32 Channels Video 3 CVBS Video Channels * Ethernet 100 MBit Fast Ethernet * * If the network is used for Ethernet transport the system is reduced to 1 CVBS video channel. -
