A Word of Thanks
Overview
Congratulations on choosing the openGear 9301 AES Audio Delay. The 9301 is part of a full line of
modular conversion gear for broadcast TV environments. The Cobalt Digital openGear line includes
video decoders and encoders, audio embeders and de-embeders, distribution amplifiers, format
converters, and much more. Cobalt openGear modular conversion gear will meet your signal
conversion needs now and well into the future.
Should you have questions pertaining to the installation or operation of your 9301, please contact us at
the numbers listed on the back cover of this manual. We are happy to help with any questions regarding
this or any other openGear card.
The 9301 is a high quality AES audio delay capable of delaying up to 8 AES channel pairs. The delay
range spans from as little as 8.3 ms to as much as 5.461 seconds. All input AES signals are sample rate
converted to match a common output timing. The output timing can be locked to the AES input timing,
or a black burst or tri-level video reference signal.
Beyond audio delay, the 9301 can also provide AES audio routing. On the input side of the router are
the up to 16 channels (8 pairs) of discrete AES input. On the output side are the up to 16 channels (8
pairs) of discrete AES output. The router acts as a full audio cross point: each of the 16 output channels
can receive signal from any one of the 16 input channels. Output channels can also be mapped to a
“silence” source. Each output allows independent gain adjustment and optional polarity inversion.
All card configuration is done with a simple front panel menu. There is a four character text display to
view and control parameters, and a toggle switch and two buttons to navigate the menu.

Supported Audio Formats
Discrete AES Audio Input
The 9301 can accept 16 channels (8 pairs) of discrete AES audio on 75 ohm BNC connections. The
AES must have a nominal rate of approximately 48 kHz. Sample rate conversion is employed to
account for minor clock rate differences in the AES stream and the input video stream. However, the
card does not support AES input at 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 96 kHz or 192 kHz rates.
Discrete AES Audio Output
The 9301 can emit 16 channels (8 pairs) of discrete AES audio on 75 ohm BNC connections. The
output clock rate of each pair is precisely locked, and derived from the input AES, or the frame
reference.
Inputs and Outputs
The input and outputs of the 9301 are the following:
Inputs:
4 dedicated AES input connections (AES input 5-6)
Switchable Input/Outputs:
4 AES connections, switchable between input and output (AES input/output 1-4)
Outputs:
8 dedicated AES output connections. (AES output 1-8)
Signal Timing
The input AES audio rate must be 48 kHz (± 1%) nominally. There are sample rate converters on each
input that allow the use of asynchronous sources, but the rate must be 48kHz. The output clock rate will
be 48 kHz as defined by the AES input, or the frame video reference, depending on user selection.
In the case where AES input is the reference, the timing will be taken from the lowest numbered AES
input BNC. If you have connections to AES inputs 3, 5, and 8, AES input 3 will be the timing master
and AES 5 and 8 will be resampled accordingly. Consequently, to slave the output timing to a DARS
audio reference, simply connect it to AES input 1 and all other inputs will be resampled to match that
channel.
To match the output audio clock to a video reference, select the frame reference (“Reference 1” or
“Reference 2”). The card will automatically detect any black burst or tri level format (NTSC, PAL,
1080i, 720p) and generate a 48 kHz output clock accordingly.

Rear Module Installation (Optional)
If you are installing the card in a 8310-C-BNC or 8310-BNC frame (one with a 100 BNC rear module
installed across the entire back plane), skip this section.
If you are installing the card into a slot with no rear module, you should have ordered and received one
of the following modules; RM-9301-B or RM-9301-C. You will need to install it in your 8310 frame
before you can connect cables.
Use the following steps to install a rear module in an 8310 openGear
1. Refer to the openGear
properly installed according to instructions.
2. On the rear of the 8310, locate the card frame slot.
3. As shown in Figure 2, seat the bottom of the rear module in the seating slot at the
base of the frame’s back plane.

Warning
Heat and power distribution requirements within a frame may dictate
specific slot placement of cards. Cards with many heat-producing
components should be arranged to avoid areas of excess heat build-up,
particularly in frames using convection cooling.
2. After selecting the desired frame installation slot, hold the card by the edges and
carefully align the card edges with the slots in the frame. Then, fully insert the card
into the frame until the rear connection plugs are properly seated on the midplane and
rear modules.

Card Control and Status
Card Status
The card indicates the status of the input signal with the four blue LEDs labled with the different
supported formats (1080, 720, 625, 525). When the card has locked to a particular input format, that
LED will be illuminated. When the card has not locked to a particular video format, the card will
search all possible formats, and the lights will cycle rapidly.
Menu Navigation
The card can be configured from a menu system built in to the front card edge. This provides an
intuitive and easy to use method for exploring and using the features of the card.
The menu is navigated by using the toggle switch and the two push buttons. The lower button is the
“Enter” button to enter a submenu, and the upper button is the “Exit” button to exit a submenu. Moving
the toggle switch up or down moves up or down in menu choices, and pressing the buttons moves in or
out of sub menus.
The menu LEDs will illuminate from top to bottom to indicate increasing depth in the menu.

Output Source
Because the cards audio system functions like a router, each output can be sourced from any input
channel. This parameter lets you choose from the many different sources. Here is an explanation of the
different source names:

Pol Output Polarity
Tone Frequency
AeXX Discrete AES channel XX (1 through 16)
TgX Test Generator channel X (1 through 4)
Output Gain
The gain of each output is adjustable from +30 dB to –100 dB in 0.1 dB steps. After –100 dB gain is
set to –Inf, which means that output is present, but muted.
Output Polarity
If set to “Norm” output polarity is the same as input polarity, if set to “Inv” the output polarity is
inverted. This can be used to correct polarity errors in the input signals fed to the card.
Tone Frequency
This sets the frequency of the test tone for each of the four tone generators. Each of the four tone
generators TG1 – TG4 can be set to a different frequency, and are available as audio sources for the
embedded or AES audio outputs. The tones can range from 50Hz to 16kHz.

This chapter includes the following sections:
• Troubleshooting Checklist
• Warranty and Repair Policy
Troubleshooting Checklist
Routine maintenance to this openGear product is not required. In the event of problems with your
card, the following basic troubleshooting checklist may help identify the source of the problem. If the
module still does not appear to be working properly after checking all possible causes, please contact
your openGear products distributor, or the Technical Support department at the numbers listed under
the “Contact Us” section at the end of this manual.
1. Visual Review Performing a quick visual check may reveal many problems, such
as connectors not properly seated or loose cables. Check the module, the frame, and
any associated peripheral equipment for signs of trouble.
2. Power Check Check the power indicator LED on the distribution frame front
panel for the presence of power. If the power LED is not illuminated, verify that the
power cable is connected to a power source and that power is available at the power
main. Confirm that the power supplies are fully seated in their slots. If the power
LED is still not illuminated, replace the power supply with one that is verified to
work.
3. Reseat the Card in the Frame Eject the card and reinsert it in the frame.
4. Check Control Settings Refer to the Installation and Operation sections of the
manual and verify all user-adjustable component settings.
5. Input Signal Status Verify that source equipment is operating correctly and that a
valid signal is being supplied.
6. Output Signal Path Verify that destination equipment is operating correctly and
receiving a valid signal.
7. Module Exchange Exchanging a suspect module with a module that is known to
be working correctly is an efficient method for localizing problems to individual
modules.
