3G-, HD- and SD-SDI interface for embedded audio processing AUDIO PROCESSING scalable digital audio processing system 3RU-cards system with functionality equivalent to 19" 1RU units from Junger Audio 24 bit processing, specific modules can operate up to 96kHz sampling rate SYNC INTERFACING External sync.

When installing the unit in a 19" rack the rear side of the unit needs some support, especially for mounting in flight cases. Cooling of C8000 system is done by passive air ventilation. It is necessary to have 1RU space below and above the unit to guarantee constant and sufficient air flow.
Configuration of a C8000 frame The C8k frame holds the cards physically. They are electrically connected to the back plane of the frame by a 64pin connector. The back plane distributes 5V power, several clocks, the CAN-bus, a few status and address signals as well as the digital audio data from and to processors or I/O devices.

C8000 modular processing system system configuration Below is an example of a module carrier board for an old processing module: Input bus number S1 (0) to S16 (F) CAN address (ID) 0 - F ADDRESS On the left hand side you see the rotary encoders. They have 16 settings (0 to F) to select one of the bus lines S1 to S16.

C8000 modular processing system system configuration Below is an example of a module board of a new generation processing module - C8086: Since this type of module has an electronic output routing facility, great care must be taken when installing or exchanging a new module for an existing system! DIP-switch #1 (no label) serves for the CAN address “+16”...

C8000 modular processing system system configuration Nearly the same applies to the C8402/03/04 SDI Embedder / De-Embedder with slightly different DIP-switch labeling: The MODE DIP-switch allows for setting of the operating modes: If DIP-switch #1 is set to MASTER, the module provides the necessary clocks for audio signal distribution for the C8k frame.

C8000 modular processing system system configuration CAN address assignment: In the above images you can see a very important switch labeled “ADDRESS” or “CAN” or “CAN/BUS” respectively. It determines the module address for the CAN-bus. All devices that can be remote controlled are connected to the CAN-bus of the frame.

Each cluster must be clocked by an I/O (SDI or MADI) or Sync-Module. For high density of number of channels per frame Junger Audio provides the C8486 sandwich module. It is a combination of a HD/SD-SDI front end with a LevelMagic™ processor. This module fits into a special frame C8942 which delivers power and CAN communication to the modules so they can be remote controlled via GUI, the brc8x, GPI/Os or the Junger API while they look like stand alone to the TV channel.

C8000 modular processing system system configuration Remote Control of the frame: Each frame must have a Frame Controller C8702. It has a built-in web server to setup and operate a frame. This controller also provides connectivity for top level systems like SNMP managers or 3 party applications.
