AES Interfaces

The two MADI-to-AES interfaces are demultiplexers that have one MADI input and 32 AES outputs. The unbalanced outputs use 75W BNCs; the balanced outputs use 110W shielded twisted pairs on DB25 connectors.
The two AES-to-MADI interfaces are multiplexers that have 32 AES inputs and one MADI output. The unbalanced inputs use 75 W BNCs; the balanced inputs use 110W shielded twisted pairs on DB25 connectors.
The MADI inputs and outputs are 75 W BNCs.
The AES-to-MADI interfaces accept up to 64 audio channels. The MADI-to-AES interfaces produce 64 audio channels. The individual MADI channels are paired on the AES inputs or outputs. AES connector 1 corresponds to MADI channels 0 and 1; AES connector 2 corresponds to MADI channels 2 and 3, and so on. AES connector 32 corresponds to MADI channels 62 and
63.
The AES interfaces are 1RU and about 2 in depth. The following photographs are representative:
This is a front view of the AES (balanced) to MADI interface. The other AES units resemble this one, where the difference between the models is the legend.

This is a rear view of the AES (balanced) to MADI interface:
It has 4 DB25 connectors supporting the AES inputs. The MADI to AES (balanced) interface is similar, except for the legend.
This is a rear view of the AES (coax) to MADI interface:
Here, there are 32 BNC connectors supporting the AES inputs. Here, too, the MADI to AES (coax) interface is similar, except for the legend.

Functions

The AES models convert discrete AES signal pairs to MADI format or vice versa.
The MADI-to-AES interfaces interpret the incoming framing data and preserve VUCP data.
The AES-to-MADI interfaces preserve VUCP and also generate the framing data (in the first 4 bits of each MADI subframe).
Each interface has a video reference input (loop-through). Each interface has a serial port (DE9) that is reserved for future use. Each interface has an Ethernet port (RJ-45) for a connection to MRC (the Miranda Router Configurator).
Each interface has two power connectors (for PS0001 power supply) and a grounding terminal.

Rates

The MADI interfaces send and receive AES at exactly 48.0 kHz (samples per second).

Configuration

You can use MRC (Miranda Router Configurator) to change an NV8900’s IP address and also to upload firmware.
The NV8900 has a 16-position rotary switch (Frame ID) on the front. This switch exists so that different NV8900 frames can be distinguished (by MRC) on a network. The switch is not required for operation.

Operation

The NV8900 AES interfaces function on their own and do not require an operator.
It is sufficient to rack-mount the devices and connect cables to your inputs and outputs.

Analog Audio Interfaces

The NV8900 analog audio interfaces are larger, and more complex than, the AES interfaces and provide a number of status LEDs:
The MADI-to-analog-audio interface is a demultiplexer that has two MADI inputs and 64 analog audio outputs (32 pairs). The outputs use 110 W shielded twisted pairs on DB25 connectors.
The MADI-to-analog-audio interface interprets the incoming framing data and preserve VUCP data.
The analog-audio-to-MADI interface is a multiplexer that has 64 analog audio inputs (32 pairs) and two MADI outputs. The inputs use 110 W shielded twisted pairs on DB25 connectors.
The analog-audio-to-MADI interfaces generate VUCP and also generate the framing data (in the first 4 bits of each MADI subframe).
The MADI inputs and outputs are 75 W BNCs.
The analog-audio-to-MADI interface accepts 64 audio channels. The MADI-to-analog-audio interface produces 64 audio channels. The MADI channels are paired on the analog inputs or outputs.
There are 4 analog audio connector pairs on each of 8 DB25s at the rear of the unit, totalling 64 channels (or 32 channel pairs). Each channel corresponds to 3 pins on a DB25; each channel pair corresponds to 6 pins. The analog channels are numbered consecutively on the 8 DB25s: 1–8, 9– 16, 17–24, and so on, up to 57–64. See Analog Audio Connectors
Each MADI unit has a video reference input (loop-through). Each interface has a serial port (DE9) that is reserved for future use. Each interface has an Ethernet port (RJ-45) for a connection to MRC (the Miranda Router Configurator).
Each unit has two power connectors (for PS0001 power supply) and a grounding terminal.
Each unit is 1RU and 17 in depth.

Analog Audio to MADI Interface

This is a front view of the analog-audio-to-MADI interface:
This is a rear view of the analog-audio-to-MADI interface:
Function
The AA-to-MADI interface receives 64 analog audio inputs and produces two MADI outputs, both identical. The second output is for redundancy.
The 64 inputs are paired internally and are represented by 32 LEDs at the front of the panel, one for each pair. Each of these LEDs acts as a primitive level meter for the pair, according to the following scale:
LED state Audio Level Range
Off < –50 dBfs Green –50 to -4 dBfs Red > –4 dBfs to 0 dBfs
The unit accepts video reference. It derives its internal clocks from the video reference. It can free-run, but it is advisable to use an external reference, especially when used with an NV8500 hybrid router.
Other LEDs
Each MADI output is represented by an LED at the front of the unit. The LED is green when the MADI output is good. Otherwise, the LED is off.
The reference signal is represented by an LED. This LED is green when the reference is good and red when it is not.
An alarm LED is off under normal operation but turns red for the following conditions:
Overtemperature
MADI output failure
Reference is bad or missing

Signal Connectors
At the rear of the AA-to-MADI interface are signal connectors. There are 2 MADI outputs (BNCs), two video reference connectors (BNC, loop-through), and 8 DB25s for analog audio input.
Each DB25 supports 8 analog audio inputs. The 8 inputs on a connector correspond to an enclosed section of the labeling on the front of the unit. For instance, first DB25 connector is for inputs 1 through 8 and the corresponding markings on the front of the unit are pair 1/2, 3/4, 5/6, and 7/8.
The power connectors, serial port, and Ethernet port are described under Installation page 13.
Each power connection is represented by an LED at the front of the unit. When the LED is green, its power supply circuit is good. If the LED is off, the power supply is bad.
The MADI outputs are identical.
The video reference connectors are “loop-through” allowing you to “daisy-chain” a reference signal to multiple devices. See Reference Specifications
on page 19.

MADI to Analog Audio Interface

This is a front view of the MADI-to-analog-audio interface:
This is a rear view of the MADI-analog-audio interface:
Function
The MADI-to-AA interface accepts one or two MADI input streams. If it receives two MADI signals, they should be identical. Only one of the MADI streams is active. The other if it is present, is stand-by. The stand-by input becomes active if the active input fails.
A failure occurs when the active input has 1 or more bit errors per second for 3 seconds or
more and the stand-by input has no bit errors.
The unit extracts 64 audio channels From the active MADI stream.
The 64 outputs are paired internally and are represented by 32 LEDs at the front of the panel, one for each pair. Each of these LEDs acts as a primitive level meter for the pair, according to the following scale:
LED state Audio Level Range
Off < –50 dBfs Green –50 to -4 dBfs Red > –4 dBfs to 0 dBfs
The unit accepts video reference. It derives its internal clocks from the video reference. It can free-run, but it is advisable to use an external reference, especially when used with an NV8500 hybrid router.

Other LEDs
Each MADI input is represented by an LED at the front of the unit. The color of the LED repre­sents the state of the MADI input:
Green the MADI input is good and active.
Amber (or orange) the MADI input is good and stand-by (inactive).
Red the MADI input is bad.
These LEDs behave differently from those of the AA-to-MADI interface.
The reference signal is represented by an LED. This LED is green when the reference is good and red when it is not.
An alarm LED is off under normal operation but turns red for the following conditions:
Overtemperature
MADI output failure
Reference is bad or missing
Connectors
At the rear of the MADI-to-AA interface are signal connectors. There are 2 MADI outputs (BNCs), two video reference connectors (BNC, loop-through), and 8 DB25s for analog audio input.

Installation

AES Interfaces

The AES interfaces are small and lightweight. It is sufficient to mount them in a 19” rack with suitable screws.

Analog Audio Interfaces

The analog audio interfaces are large and somewhat heavy and require special hardware that attaches to, and supports, the rear of the units. There are two metal pieces for each side of the NV8900:
ME1714-xx an 8” extension plate, with screw holes, that attaches to the side of the
NV8900.
ME1745-xx a small (1.72”) metal plate that attaches to the rear frame posts.

User’s Guide
The extension plates fit in the slots of the small plate, and the small plate supports the weight of the NV8900, as shown:
The (4) metal plates, and screws, are attached to the NV8900 during shipment. Keep them in a safe place until you are ready to install the NV8900.
The extension plates provide an additional 6.3” of depth, for a total extension of 22.64”. You can adjust the position of the plate if your rack has less depth.
If your rack does not have rear posts, or if your rack is deeper than 22.64”, consider mounting the NV8900 just above another device in the rack (say, a router). The other device then supports the NV8900. Place a non-metal spacer (0.03”) between the NV8900 and the other device.

Package Contents

If you have ordered one or more NV8900 products from Miranda, inspect the shipping container for damage. If you find any container damage, unpack and inspect the contents. If the contents are damaged, notify the carrier immediately.
As you unpack the shipping container, look for the packing slip and compare it against the contents to verify that you received everything as ordered. If anything is missing (or if you find equipment damage unrelated to shipping), please contact technical support. Refer to Grass
Valley Technical Support on page 35.
Depending on your order, the NV8900 items that can ship include:
One or more NV8900 devices.
One or more power supplies (PS0001) with power cord retention straps.
The package does not contain network cables, serial cables, or mounting screws.
You do not need to take any special precautions regarding ESD.
This document does not address the shipment or installation of any other equipment or soft­ware that can be used in conjunction with the NV8900 (including the NV9000 system controller, NV915 system controller, and configuration programs such as MRC or NV9000-SE Utilities).
This document does briefly address the use of MRC as it pertain to setting the interfaces’ IP addresses.

Installation

The NV8900 interface(s) are designed to mount in a standard 19 equipment rack. This is not a requirement, but we assume a 19 rack for the sake of simplicity.
Follow these steps to install an NV8900 interface:
1 Set the position of the 16-position rotary switch on the front of the interface.
Set the switch to any non-zero position.

Installation
Although the switch is not used at present, in the future MRC will use the switch position to distinguish multiple NV8900s on an Ethernet LAN.
Use a small screwdriver to turn the rotary switch.
In a network, all devices must have unique IP addresses. An IP address is determined (at
least initially) by the rotary switch at the front of the MADI interface. The rotary switches must (at least initially) be distinct.
2 Mount, and secure, the MADI interface in the rack.
For the 1RU interfaces, the mounting holes are spaced 1.25 (31mm) vertically and allow approximately 1/8 (3mm) of movement horizontally.
For the 2RU interfaces, the 3 mounting holes on each side are spaced 1.25 (31mm) and
1.75 (44mm) (3″, 76mm, overall) vertically and allow approximately 1/8″ (3mm) of play hor­izontally.
You might not have enough space to reach behind the MADI interface and make
connections. In that case, leave this step until last.
3 If you are using the MADI interface on a network (for MRC), connect an Ethernet cable (RJ-
45) from the network switch to the Ethernet port of the MADI interface. Also connect an Ethernet cable from your PC running MRC to the Ethernet switch.
4 Connect your video reference.
Each MADI interface has two video reference BNC connectors. You can connect a reference source to either one. You can “daisy chain” the output of one reference connector to the input of another. The output of the last connector in the series should be terminated with a 75Ω BNC terminator.
Your MADI interfaces must use the same video reference as your router (especially an NV8500 family hybrid router).
5 Optionally connect the ground lug to earth ground. Use copper wire from 14 to 6 AWG.
Grounding decisions are left to you or your facilities manager. Failure to connect the ground will not affect normal operation, but connecting the ground will protect you and your equip­ment in a power anomaly such as a lightning strike.
6 Connect one or both power supplies. First connect the 4-pin connector to PS1 or PS2 on the
rear of the router. The connectors are keyed and snap into place. There is only one way they fit. Do not force them. Then connect the power supply to AC power.
14
The second power connection is for redundancy only (protection against failure) and is not a requirement for operation.
7 Connect input devices and output devices. No particular order or combination is required.
Some of the MADI interfaces use standard 75Ω BNC connectors.
Some of the MADI interfaces use DB25 connectors. You can obtain DB25 breakout cables from Miranda or build your own cables. (The Miranda part number is WC0053. The sales order code is NV5000-CABLE1.)

Maintenance

The NV8900 requires no maintenance.

Channel Numbering

The MADI interfaces support 64 audio channels, 0–63. The MADI channels are paired on the AES inputs or outputs.
Use the following formula to calculate a port number, given a MADI channel number:
p = m
/ 2
+ 1 0 m ≤ 63.
Use the following formulas to calculate a MADI channel pair, given a port number:
m
= p × 2 – 2 1 p 32.

m
= p × 2 – 1

User’s Guide

Audio Rates

According to the MADI specification, MADI receivers and drivers operate at 125MHz which supports 100M bits per second under 4B5B encoding. The receivers expect and the drivers produce 64 audio channels at exactly 48
1.7% margin for sync symbols and padding.
At least one sync symbol must accompany every MADI frame. The minimal number of sync symbols is 48,000 per second. At 10 bits per symbol, that is 480,000 bits out of 2,120,000 spare bits.
The AES10-2003 specification’s tolerance on the transmission rate is 100 ppm (10 rate must be 125MHz ± 12,500kHz.
Our MADI interfaces send and receive AES at 48.0kHz exactly. The data rate is, of course,
kHz. The 64 channels consume 98,304,000 bps with a
–4
). Thus the
affected by the actual transmission rate. The effect on a 48 kHz data rate is a variance of ±
4.8Hz.

Connectors

Serial Connector

The serial connector for all NV8900 MADI Interfaces has this pinout:
The connector is RS-485, female, but can be used as RS-422.
However, the port is unused and reserved for future expansion.

Balanced AES Connectors

Balanced AES inputs and outputs use 110 Ω DB25 connectors, all female. Each connector supports 8 inputs (or outputs):

Analog Audio Connectors

Analog audio inputs and outputs use 110Ω DB25 connectors, all female. Each connector supports 8 inputs (or outputs):
The inputs are paired consecutively:
(L1,R1) = ports 1 and 2 (L2,R2) = ports 3 and 4
22
(L3,R3) = ports 5 and 6 (L4,R4) = ports 7 and 8

Power Cord Retention

Use the supplied retention strap to keep the AC power cord firmly connected to the power supply. Follow these steps to use the strap:
1 Firmly insert the AC power cord into the power supply. Examine the last figure in this section
to see how the strap should be applied.
2 Placed the Velcro retention strap, fuzzy side up, on top of the power supply with the buckle
loop approximately 1 inch from the AC input side and the remaining strap around the cord end and down:
3 Holding the buckle in place, lift the strap up and around the cord end so the strap overlaps
itself:

4 Holding the buckle loop in place, route the strap around the back of the supply diagonally
across so that it sticks out on the left below the output cord:
5 Continue the strap around toward the buckle loop and through the loop. Cinch the strap
