About This Manual

This manual describes the features of a specific module of the 2000 Series
Modular Products family. As part of this module family, it is subject to
Safety and Regulatory Compliance described in the 2000 Series frame and
power supply documentation (see the

2000 Frames Instruction Manual

).

2010/2011RDA Dual/Quad AES/EBU Reclocking DA

Introduction

This manual covers both the 2010RDA (Dual) and 2011RDA (Quad)
AES/EBU Reclocking DA modules. Both versions of the module share the
same circuit board with additional circuitry added for the quad channels.

The 2010RDA is a Dual AES/EBU Reclocking Distribution Amplifier pro­viding two independent digital audio streams. The module can be config­ured for single or dual operation. The following 2010RDA models are
available:

2010RDA with 75

■

(COAX PRM) provides connections for a single input with 8 outputs or
2 inputs with four outputs each, or

■

2010RDA-110 with 110
(2000PRM) provides connections for a single input with 16 reclocked
outputs or 2 inputs with 8 reclocked outputs each.

The 2011RDA-110 is a Quad AES/EBU Reclocking Distribution Amplifier
providing four independent digital audio streams. The module can be con­figured for single, dual or quad operation. The passive rear module has
110 Ω D-connectors and can provide a single input with 16 reclocked out­puts, dual inputs with 8 reclocked outputs each, or quad mode with 4
inputs with 4 outputs each.

Installation

Installation of the 2010/2011RDA module is a process of:

Placing the passive rear module in a rear frame slot,

■

■

Placing the media module in the corresponding front slot, and

■

Cabling and terminating signal ports.

The 2010/2011RDA module can be plugged in and removed from a 2000
Series frame with power on. When power is applied to the module, LED
indicators reflect the initialization process (see Power Up on page 8 ).

Module Placement in the 2000 Frame

There are twelve slot locations in both the front and rear of a 3RU frame to
accommodate 2000 Series modules. The 2010/2011RDA module set con­sists of a front media module and a passive rear module that can be
plugged into any of the 12 frame slots. Each 2010/2011RDA front media
module plugs into the front of the 2000 frame mid-plane. The passive rear
module plugs into the corresponding rear slot to provide the input and
output interface connectors.

communication buses

To install a 2010/2011RDA module set in the frame:

1.

Locate a vacant slot in the rear of the 3 RU frame (Figure 1).

Verify that the module connector seats properly against the midplane.

Using a crossblade screwdriver, tighten the two screw locks to secure
the module in the frame.

Locate the corresponding front slot in the frame. The 3 RU frame front
view is illustrated in Figure 3.
