2010RDA-16 AES/EBU
Digital Audio Reclocking DA
Introduction
The 2010RDA-16 is a single or dual operation 75
digital audio reclocking distribution amplifier. The 2010RDA-16 is configured with an on-board jumper to provide a single input with sixteen
outputs or as a dual, two input, eight output DA providing two distinct distribution amplifiers on a single card. Reclocking provides jitter reduction at
a variety of sample rates for the most demanding AES/EBU requirements.
The 2010RDA-16 modules feature:
•Unbalanced digital audio SMPTE 276M,
•75
•Single mode with one input and 16 outputs,
•Dual mode with two inputs, each with eight outputs,
•Auto-detect data reclocking at sample rates of 32, 44.1, 48 or 96 kHz,
•Housed in the Kameleon frame with other 2000 series audio and video
•Remote control via Ethernet frame interface with web browser GUI or
•Loss of signal detection and SNMP reporting.

Installation
Installation
Installation of the 2010RDA-16 module is a process of:
•Configuring the module for Single or Dual operation with an on-board
jumper, JP5,
•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 2010RDA-16 module can be plugged in and removed from a Kameleon
2000 Series frame with power on. When power is applied to the module,
LED indicators reflect the initialization process (see
Power Up
on page 14).
Local Onboard Module Configuration
The 2010RDA-16 module is configured locally for Single or Dual operation
using the jumper shown in Figure 1.

Module Placement in the Kameleon 2000 Frame
There are twelve slot locations in both the front and rear of a Kameleon
3 RU frame to accommodate 2000 Series modules. The 2010RDA-16
module set consists of a front media module and a passive rear module that
require two module slots.
Each 2010RDA-16 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. Stacked
BNCs on the passive rear module require two rear slots. A frame fully
stuffed with 2010RDA-16 front and rear modules will accommodate up to
six module sets as shown in Figure 2.
To install a 2010RDA-16 module set in the frame:
1.
Locate a vacant slot in slot 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, or 12 of the rear of the 3 RU
frame (Figure 2). The passive rear module uses two slots.

Service
The 2010RDA-16 modules make extensive use of surface-mount technology and programmed parts to achieve compact size and adherence to
demanding technical specifications. Circuit modules should not be serviced in the field unless directed otherwise by Customer Service.
If your module is not operating correctly, proceed as follows:
•Check module power at JP1. If power is not present, check the fuse on
the +24 V input to the module as illustrated in Figure 14.
•Check for presence and quality of input signals.
•Verify that source equipment is operating correctly.
•Check cable connections.

AES Receivers
Each channel of AES3 audio is fed to the modules through an isolation
transformer into a crystal receiver IC where the data is reclocked by means
of a phase-locked-loop (PLL). Each AES Receiver controls the LOCK LEDs
which indicate when the receiver IC is locked to an incoming data stream.
The reclocked signal is then fed to the FPGA for routing and control.
2010RDA-16 Instruction Manual25
8268_04
Functional Description
Routing and Control FPGA
Controller
The signals from the AES receiver ICs are applied to the Routing and
Control FPGA. The signal routing is determined by the setting of the
on-board configuration jumper at the front of the module. After processing,
the signals are embedded into an AES stream and applied to the output
drivers.
The Routing and Control section also drives the front panel LEDs and interfaces to the Controller section.
The Controller interfaces with the Routing and Control FPGA, the
EEPROM and the 2000 Frame Bus. The Controller also provides the FPGA
code that is downloaded to the FPGA during boot-up.
The Controller section handles local control and monitoring, as well as
remote control and monitoring via the frame bus (when an 2000NET
module is installed in the frame). Module settings are stored in the
EEPROM for power up recall.
Power Supply
Power is fed from +24 V rails of the frame’s switching power supply. Each
stage of the module receives its own, separate, highly regulated and filtered
power source.
