Page 5: Overview
OVERVIEW 1. Overview The HoneyBadger (HB) is a multi-format transceiver that multiplexes a wide collection of broadcast signal types onto 2 fibers. This includes SDI, analog and intercom audio, Gigabit Ethernet, Genlock (sync), serial data (RS-232/422/485) and GPIO. This is all accomplished with a 4RU local box and a 5RU remote unit. -

FEATURE DESCRIPTIONS 2. Feature Descriptions 2.1. Front Panel HB-DC-DBR (5RU) A. Status Indicators – Intercom, Ethernet, Sync, Data/Tally, Audio a. Intercom & Audio Each LED is shared between 2 audio channels. For example, for Intercom (I-COM) IN “A”, the LED will light when audio is detected on either channel 1 [CH1] or channel 2 [CH2]. b. - Page 7 Channels transport up to 3Mbps. The LEDs in the front will turn on showing the data paths are active. The HoneyBadger is built with 422 selected as the default mode. RS-232 and RS-422 operate in full-duplex mode. RS-485 operates in half duplex and is available by contacting MultiDyne.

Page 13: Operation
OPERATION 3. Operation 3.1. Intercom (4x) [HB-DC-DBR Only] The Intercom units provide a means to interface between two channels of 2-wire party-line intercom audio and two channels of 4-Wire analog line-level signals. The unit can perform auto-nulling for each channel with the push of a button. In addition, each of the 4-Wire input and output channel levels are monitored and displayed on front panel VU meters. - Page 14 OPERATION Switch 2 Set to RTS or Clear-Com mode. To be compatible with RTS units, push the GAIN L/GAIN H switch UP; to be compatible with Clear Com units push switch DOWN. This switch adjusts the gain needed to interface between the 4-wire to 2-wire signals and it also adjusts the gain from the 2-wire to 4-wire signals.
- Page 15 OPERATION and the resulting lack audio return loss will result in feedback. Note that if the party line has been altered after a null has been done, the status LEDs will not update on their own. They do not monitor status on a continuous basis.
- Page 16 OPERATION 3.2. MIC/Line Inputs (8x) [HB-DC-DBR Only] The MIC level inputs contain microphone preamplifiers intended for use with low-level microphones or line-level audio sources. It features adjustable input gain and impedance settings, LED metering, and individual 48V/12V phantom power (or A-B powered) for each input. The display area has 2 parts: the VU meter itself, and the two blocks for gain control next to it.
- Page 17 LED -2dB position will light up alone. The LEDs for the gain on mic mode work similarly. • Default max audio levels are +24dBu. Contact MultiDyne for other custom levels, e.g., +18. • Input impedance can also be selected if needed (2.4k, 660 ohm). Contact MultiDyne.
