Introduction

Thunder is the newest generation high-volume audio/data/intercom transport link from Grass Valley, a Belden Brand. Thunder transports up to 80 audio, intercom, or data paths, configurable in 8-path groups (10 groups total), all on one or two strands of fiber, at the lowest price and most compact size ever available.

Simply equip the compact 1RU frame with the appropriate Thunder Bolt I/O cards to create a fiber optic link that can solve virtually any audio/intercom/data connectivity situation in the teleproduction environment.

You buy only the components that you need. Individual analog and AES breakout panels as well as data and intercom devices can be configured in any combination to create an audio system that is perfectly suited to your particular application.

Introduction to Thunder

Whether you need a system that requires all 80 channels of audio, a mix of audio, data or GPI channels, or even all data or GPI channels, Thunder provides maximum flexibility and convenience.

Analog audio signals can even be converted to AES format, and vice versa, by just configuring Thunder with an analog input or output Bolt card at one end of the system and an AES I/O Bolt card at the other.

Up to ten internal Bolt I/O cards can be installed in a frame.

Six Bolt cards are available:

• Analog Audio Input; 8 channels

• Analog Audio Output; 8 channels

• AES Input; 4 channels (8 analog when decoded)

• AES Output; 4 channels (8 analog when decoded)

• Multiformat digital (RS-232/422/485); 4 channels, bidirectional

• GPI (general purpose, dry contact, SPST remote switch closures); 8 channels, bidirectional

System Overview

The primary element in Grass Valley’s Thunder system is a single 1RU frame that incorporates all of the signal processing required to consolidate up to 80 audio or data paths onto a single fiber strand; a second output for a redundant backup fiber is available. The frame contains cards for each signal format that will be processed. Associated with the frame are breakout panels with connectors providing access to the system for the various formats that can be carried.

A complete system requires a frame with processing cards and breakout panels at each end of the link.

Operation

Condition 1 – No optical signal present

• Illuminates solid red in the absence of optical power to the primary SFP receiver.

Condition 2 – Channel in use

• Illuminates solid green when a valid optical signal is applied to the primary SFP receiver, and indicates that the primary channel is the one currently in use for communication with the remote Thunder Chassis.

Condition 3 – Channel not in use, but optical signal present. This feature informs the user that optical power is available on the unused channel, making them aware that if an automatic redundancy switchover should occur, the backup optical power is ready and available.

• Flickers briefly at ≈2 second intervals to indicate the presence of optical power to the primary SFP receiver. The color of the flicker indicates the level of optical power being received (color will match that of the “Optical Power Meter” display if it is currently being used for this channel).

a Red flash: -24 to -27dBm input

b 66% red/33% green flicker: -21 to -23dBm input

c 33% red/66% green flicker: -18 to -20dBm input

d Green flash: ≥-15dBm input

Condition 4 – SFP not installed

• Flashes red at ≈2 times per second when the SFP used in the primary (top) dock of the dual SFP cage is either faulty or not installed correctly.

OPT - IN 2

Indicates status/conditions of the secondary (backup) SFP optical receiver.

Condition 1 – No optical signal present

• Illuminates solid red in the absence of optical power to the secondary (backup) SFP receiver.

Condition 2 – Channel in use

• Illuminates solid green when a valid optical signal is applied to the secondary (backup) SFP receiver, and indicates that the secondary (backup) channel is the one currently in use for communication with the remote Thunder Chassis.

Condition 4 – SFP not installed

• Unlike the primary (OPT - IN 1) indicator, this indica

tor will be extinguished when the SFP used in the secondary (bottom) dock of the dual SFP cage is either faulty or not installed correctly. This is to avoid any false indication when a Thunder System is purchased without the redundant optical backup SFP installed.

Link

Indicates that proper communication has been established with the processing electronics of the remote Thunder Chassis.

• Illuminates solid red when there is either no link, or excessive errors in the fiber optic le path are preventing proper communication with the remote Thunder Chassis.

• Illuminates solid green when error-free communication has been established with the

emote Thunder Chassis.

Data

Indicates the presence of RS-232/RS-422/RS-485 data activity on the rear panel, mainboard mounted DB-15HD connector.

• Unlit with no data activity

User Guide

The switches are self centering, 3 position momen “PH/PWR” switches, the throw is either momentary left (phantom power off) or momentary right (phantom power on) from the center position. For the “GAIN” switches the throw is either momentary down (lower gain setting) or momentary up (higher gain setting). The operation of these switches is explained more thoroughly below. A single Expansion Panel is available with either one or two 8 channel banks installed for a total of up to16 channels. The “Extended” switch functions explained below (switches that perform operations on multiple channels) pertain to single banks of 8. Numbers shown in parenthesis () are for a second 8 channel bank (if so equipped).

The “PH/PWR” and “GAIN” switches on the Thunder MIC Input Expansion Panel work in the

System Implementation

Operation

1 Press “GAIN” toggle down momentarily – lowers gain by 10dB from the previous

setting (assuming the previous gain setting was already > “UNITY”) on the appropriate channel.

2 Press “GAIN” toggle down and hold – after the initial 10dB step down when the toggle

is actuated, there is a pause of 750mSec and then the unit will automatically continue to increment the gain downward (again assuming the previous gain was set to a higher value) at a rate of 250mSec/step until it settles at “UNITY”. At any point the toggle can be released and the unit will remain at the gain setting indicated.

3 Press “GAIN” toggle up momentarily – raises gain by 10dB from the previous setting

(assuming the previous gain setting was already lower) on the appropriate channel.

4 Press “GAIN” toggle up and hold – after the initial 10dB step up when the toggle is

actuated, there is a pause of 750mSec and then the unit will automatically continue to increment the gain upward (again assuming the initial gain was set to a lower value) at a rate of 250mSec/step until it settles at “50dB”. At any point the toggle can be released and the unit will remain at the gain setting indicated.

Note: As the gain is either raised or lowered, there is no “wrap around” to the adjustment. If the gain steps are increased, the display will NOT return to “UNITY” after the “50dB” setting is reached. Likewise, if the gain steps are decreased, the display will NOT return to “50dB” after the “UNITY” setting is reached. This action provides a better “feel” to the operator when making adjustments and eliminates the possibility of excessive audio levels when cycling through gains as could be the case when holding the “GAIN” toggle down in an effort to lower the audio level.

Extended Switch Functions (All-Reset to “UNITY”, All-Increment Up, All-Increment Down)

1 Press and hold CH1 (CH9) “GAIN” toggle down, Press CH8 (CH16) “GAIN” toggle down

momentarily – Gain on all 8 channels is simultaneously reset to “UNITY”.

2 Press and hold CH1 (CH9) “PH/PWR” toggle left, Press CH8 (CH16) “GAIN” toggle up

momentarily – Gain on all 8 channels is simultaneously incremented to the next higher gain setting. Holding the CH8 (CH16) “GAIN” toggle up, while still holding the CH1 (CH9) “PH/PWR” toggle left, will automatically increment the gain settings on all 8 channels simultaneously as described above in the Single Switch Functions (Any Channel) section.

3 Press and hold CH1 (CH9) “PH/PWR” toggle left, Press CH8 (CH16) “GAIN” toggle down

momentarily – Gain on all 8 channels is simultaneously decremented to the next lower gain setting. Holding the CH8 (CH16) “GAIN” toggle down, while still holding the CH1 (CH9) “PH/PWR” toggle left, will automatically decrement the gain settings on all 8 channels simultaneously as described above in the Single Switch Functions (Any Channel) section.

Extra Notes:

1 All Phantom Power and Gain setting changes are immediate and seamless upon

actuation of the switches. There is no delay or hesitation for the required result when the operator makes a change to one of these settings.

2 All settings are retained in non-volatile memory when the Expansion Panel is powered

down, so setup time is minimal if power is lost or the system is moved to an alternate location.
