OPTIMOD 6300 DIGITAL
An RS-232 (PC Remote) Computer Interface, labeled S
connect the 6300 to IBM PC-compatible computers, directly or via modem, for re-
mote control, metering and software downloads.
A Remote Interface Connector (GPI connector) allows you to connect the 6300 to
your existing transmitter remote control or other simple contact-closure control de-
vices. The 6300 remote control supports user-programmable selection of up to eight
optically isolated inputs for any one of the following parameters: recalling any fac-
tory- or user presets, selecting tone or bypass modes, selecting stereo or dual-mono
mode, selecting analog, digital, or digital+J.17 input, and clock synchronization. (See
Remote Control Interface Programming on page 2-45.) The 6300 remote control ac-
cepts a DB-25 connector.
The Ethernet Port accepts a 10Mb/second or 100Mb/second Ethernet connection
terminated with an RJ45 connector.
Digital AES3 Input and AES3 dual Outputs are provided to support two-channel
AES3-standard digital audio signals through XLR-type connectors.
In dual-mono applications, digital outputs #1 and #2 can be dedicated to
audio channel 1 (left) and channel 2 (right) respectively.
Analog Inputs and Outputs are provided to support left and right audio signals
through XLR-type connectors.
Wordclock / AES11id Sync Input is provided on a female BNC connector.
The "id" refers to the fact that the connection is unbalanced and is de-
signed to be interfaced with 75 coaxial cable terminated in a male BNC
connector. This input is not internally terminated and requires external
75 termination if it is the last device on the cable.

Input and Output Connections

Cable

We recommend using two-conductor foil-shielded cable (such as Belden 8451 or
equivalent) for the audio input and output connections because signal current flows
through the two conductors only. The shield does not carry signal and is used only
for shielding.

Connectors


Input and output connectors are XLR-type connectors.
In the XLR-type connectors, pin 1 is CHASSIS GROUND, while pin 2 and
pin 3 are a balanced, floating pair. This wiring scheme is compatible with
any studio-wiring standard: If pin 2 or 3 is considered LOW, the other pin
is automatically HIGH.
