Page 9: General
Rev. 2 1 General The BDS-0808 is a 8x8 serial digital video router with vertical interval switching. This state of the art router provides maximum quality with a data rate of up to 360Mbit/s and automatic cable equalizing on all inputs. High performance circuits in SMD technology assure undiminished signal quality. The BDS-0808 is well suited for all demanding routing tasks in digital studio and broadcast environments. -
Page 10: Power Connection
The BDS-0808 is normally delivered with the desktop power model AC ±5V / 30W. Upon customer request, BDS-0808 can also be delivered with DC ±5V / 30W, which may be fed by a 36 – 72 VDC mains power source. A Frame mounted power supply solution is also available. -
Page 11: Ncb Connection
Via the Network Control Bus system several routers and control panels can be interconnected. The standard MIDI interface is used on all NCB control ports. The BDS-0808 router utilises 5-PIN DIN connectors for connecting to the NCB. This means that when you connect your BDS-0808 router to other Triton devices, with RJ45 connectors, an RJ45 to 5-pin DIN interface is necessary. -
Page 12: Pin-Out And Cable Type
Pin 8 = Not Connected 4.3.2 5-pin DIN connectors However, the pin-out of most Network Control Bus ports, including that of the BDS-0808 follows the standard MIDI specification. A 1:1 cable with 5pin DIN connector is used. The following pin-out is used:... -

BDS-0808 Rev. 2 4.3.3 RJ45 to 5-pin DIN converter In configurations that include both devices with RJ45 connectors, and devices with 5-pin DIN connectors, an RJ45 to 5-pin DIN converter may be used to complete the control loop. This converter holds both connector types, and may work both ways, thus from RJ45 to 5-pin DIN, as well as from 5-pin DIN to RJ45. - Page 14 BDS-0808 Rev. 2 o Universal Control Panel to control all devices above, with user configurable default level. Pay attention to the figure below, in order to achieve full controllability of all devices in the loop. • Triton - RCS Complete the Control loop, by connecting all Control bus connections to all Triton devices, before •...

Page 15: Router Configuration
BDS-0808 Rev. 2 5 Router configuration Router level Switch 1 - 4 on the configuration switch set the router’s level for communication with the Triton Router Control System, and other units in the NCB system. The panels on the NCB dedicated to operate with the router must be configured to the same level as that router. -
Page 16: Router Mode
BDS-0808 Rev. 2 Router mode The BDS-0808 router allows switching in different modes. You can choose among: Serial Digital Video 1 layer Serial Digital Video 2 layer Serial Digital Video 4 layer Switch 5 - 6 on the configuration switch set the router’s mode. The Triton - RCS software must be configured according to the mode chosen on the router. -
Page 17: Vertical Interval Trigger
Output Vertical interval trigger The BDS-0808 router provides vertical interval switching. If vertical interval switching is desired you have to connect an analogue VIT reference signal to the VIT input. Switch 7 on the configuration switch enables or disables the VIT sensing on the VIT input. If VIT switching is enabled but a proper signal is missing, the router will automatically switch without VIT. -
Page 18: Power Up Mode
BDS-0808 Rev. 2 Power up mode Switch 8 on the configuration switch defines the power up mode. The BDS-0808 router provides two modes for powering up the system. Mode 1 switches all outputs to input 1. Mode 2 switches all outputs according to the buffered information in the routers processor system. -
