MODULE & CARD DESCRIPTIONS

Full-featured Input modules are described throughout this manual. Limited-function versions (minus the Send or Utility bus controls), Net-only versions (no connectors) and Limited-function Net-only versions (no connectors nor Send and Utility bus controls) are also available.

Microphone Preamplifier Module

Five mic preamps, each with a trim pot under a security cover , come standard on the BMX 8 and -14. Ten preamps come standard on the other frame sizes. A second five or ten input Mic Preamp Module can be field installed.

Mic preamps take balanced input signals (from

-65 dBu to -30 dBu) and output balanced +4 dBu outputs for direct connection to a Universal Input module or to outboard processing equipment.

Universal Input

This module features two inputs (A and B), each can come from an analog or a digital source (source selection is set via a module DIP switch). DIP switches also set the analog input level or the digital attenuation. Each input has a fully independent parallel logic circuit for remote control of the module and/or module control of the source equipment. Each module has independent mic/

The Universal Input module has controls for the following functions: A/B input selection, input mode selection, channel on/off, fader level, solo, cue, pan/balance, two Send selectors and level controls, and ten output bus selectors (four program, four utility, and two off-line buses). A twoline display shows the A and B input source names .

Two 24-pin connectors connect logic wiring to/ from external peripherals or control panels for the A and B inputs. Two 14-pin connectors allow remote talkback (active when microphone logic is selected) for the A and B inputs. Four 8-position DIP switches set logic and module function options independently for the A and B inputs.

T elc o/C odec Input Module

An optional module that provides audio and logic connections for a telephone hybrid or a codec (satellite transceiver, ISDN interface, etc.). Up to six Telco modules can be installed in the frame.

Telco modules have digital and analog inputs (the active input is set via DIP switch) and the same controls as a Universal Input—minus the A/B input selector . Additional module controls include: telco monitor bus and telco record output assignment buttons, a Talk to Codec function, a Source Selector and a Take button (for source selection with a VistaMax, Ext. RLS or a router).

Each Telco module has an associated mixminus (Foldback) of an y combination of the program, utility or send buses and two off-line mix buses. An Auto-Foldback function can automate switching Foldback between an off-line mix and the assigned bus with module off and on.

Remote Line Selector Input Module

An optional module that offers source selection from a VistaMax system, an external remote line selector or a router . Each module has a digital and

an analog input (active input set by module DIP switch). Front panel controls are the same as the Universal Input, minus the A/B selection. Instead, there is a Source Selector and Take button.

Session

meter source selection, and event timer controls. There are eleven Aux Meter selector buttons (for viewing any External Input, Send, Utility bus, or T elco Record output) and two Main Meter selectors (PGM 1-4 and UTL 1-4) for viewing the Program or the Utility buses on the four Main Meters (on the BMX the buses to show one at a time on the Main meter).

Selector and two buttons: Take and Save. A twoline display shows the session currently being used and either the next session to be loaded, or when the Session Selector is being turned, the various sessions available in alphanumeric order.

Studio Module

This optional module has the monitoring and talkback controls for two separate studios or voice booths, plus talkback audio and control inputs for a producer/call screener position and for an external position.

The Producer and External audio inputs are line level. The Mic Preamp module may be used as needed for these inputs. A Producer Talkback / IFB Panel (PRE99-1188) is also av ailable. It provides a mic and preamp for the Producer along with T alk buttons for thirteen locations .

T he Studio module has two parallel logic connectors for the Studio 1 and 2 dim, mute, and Studio W arning Lamp interface controls .

The Studio module also has monitor and talkback selector controls, and monitor and talkback level controls. All of the controls operate independently for each studio.

Output Modules

There are three Output modules. The Output 1 module has the digital-to-analog converters and mix matrices for creating mix-minus foldbacks to support up to six Telco/Codec modules. It also contains individually mixed outputs for Telco monitoring and recording. Two monaural mix-minus outputs for each Telco/Codec module, one with talkback (IFB) and one with a clean feed, are on this module.

Digital and analog outputs are provided for the mix-minus and recorder feed outputs. For digital outputs, sample rates of 48 kHz and 44.1 kHz are supported. The mix-minus analog outputs are fixed at +4 dBu. This module features output sample rate selectors for digital outputs and gain trim controls for the analog Telco record mix output and IFB level.

The Output 2 and Output 3 modules contain the AES digital output drivers, digital-to-analog converters, and analog line amplifiers for the Pro-

Net Card

This optional card allows the BMX rectly interface to a VistaMax Audio Management System. It plugs into the motherboard behind the Output modules, hidden below the meter panel in normal use.

1 General Information

Specifications

The specifications for the BMX nificantly more complete, and the related test conditions are more defined, than those usually shown for consoles in this class. Be sure to follow the test conditions and measure in the units as stated.

The specifications are for a fully loaded BMX-

digital

38-input mainframe.

Test Conditions:

Specifications are for the basic signal paths, per channel, with >1 k ohm loads connected to the analog main outputs.

0 dBu corresponds to an amplitude of 0.775 volts RMS regardless of the circuit impedance. This is equivalent to 0 dBm measured into a 600 ohm circuit for convenient level measurement with meters calibrated for 600 ohm circuits. Noise specifications are based upon a 22 kHz measurement bandwidth. The use of a meter with 30 kHz bandwidth will result in a noise measurement increase of approximately 1.7 dB.

Total Harmonic Distortion (THD+N) is measured at a +18 dBu output level using a swept signal with a 22 kHz low pass filter.

POWER SUPPLY

The 99-1205 power supply requires 2 RU of rack space within the console cabinetry , below and to the left or right of the supporting countertop. The 48 Volt Power Supply must be installed so that the 30 foot power supply cable (90-1709) is not under any tension when routed through the cabinet and connected to the mainframe’s rear panel connectors.

Connecting the Power Supply

The power supply cable has two connectors:

• A 5-pin connector to supply 48 volt DC power to the console.

• A 4-pin connector to supply power status information (Imminent Power Loss) to the console.

Both connectors must be attached to the back

digital

of the BMX

and to the power supply.

GROUNDING AND SHIELDING

The broadcast facility’ s technical ground can be connected to the mainframe chassis using the threaded insert on the rear of the console (shown in the Power Connections drawing on this page). Use a 10-32 screw and crimp lug to terminate the facility’s technical ground wire.

Connect the cable shields at both the console and the peripheral end when all system components share a common ground potential and are using isolated ground A C outlets tied individually back to the main technical ground.

If isolated ground A C outlets are not available, connect the cable shields at the console end only. The shields should be floated (left unconnected) at the peripheral device end. Ensure the peripheral devices connect to a clean ground through their power cords, or through separate ground wires to the facility’s technical ground.

Cabling and Wiring

Before installing the console, dra w up a facility wiring plan that lists the console interconnections with all peripheral devices. Identify and create tags for all audio and logic cabling. List each connection in a master facility wiring logbook to facilitate wiring installation, future system wiring changes, equipment updates , and system troubleshooting.

Refer to the module Quick Connection Guides, on pages 2-16 to 2-57, for information on each audio and logic connection (including block diagrams for each logic interface connector) and on each module’s setup DIP switches.

• Analog audio connections require twoconductor, stranded, insulated, foil-shield cable using a separate shield drain wire (equivalent to Belden 8451, 9451 or 8761).

• AES/EBU connections require 110 ohm two-conductor, stranded, insulated, foilshield cable containing a separate shield drain wire (equivalent to Belden 1800A).

• Logic control cables require stranded, 22 AWG, multiple-conductor, non-shielded, jacketed cable (equivalent to Belden 9423, 8457 or 9421). The number of conductors used is determined by the application. Typically cables with five and eight wires are most often used for constructing logic cables. Ev en though there are eighteen distinct signals on the Logic Interface connector, only a handful are typically used for any given application.

AMP MOD IV Receptacle Contacts

Follow these steps for audio wire preparation: 1 Strip the cable insulation jacket and foil shield

back 1½" [38.10 mm].

2 Remove the foil shield and sleeve the drain

wire with 20 AWG Teflon sleeving. Leave 9/64" [3.57 mm] of the drain wire exposed.

3 Cover the cut end of the jacket with 3/4"

[19.05 mm] of heat-shrink tubing. Shrink this tubing, centered on the jacket cut end, to hold the drain wire sleeving in place.

4 Strip the signal wire insulation back 9/64"

CRIMP TOOL OPERA TION

A ratcheting AMP crimp tool with contact holder is included. The tool crimps both the insulation and wire barrels on the AMP MOD IV receptacle contact in one crimp. To use the ratcheting crimp tool:

1 Insert the contact into the contact holder with

the barrel openings up. Typically the middle holder is used (for 20 - 24 AWG wire). Flip the holder up so it magnetically latches against the crimp tool. The end of the insulation barrel will be about 2 mm from the end of the die. Close the tool one click (only until the anvil holds the contact in place, as shown in the cutaway view, above.)

2 Insert the prepped wire into the contact until

the insulation hits the tool’s wire stop. Hold the wire in place while squeezing the tool

handles to crimp the contact onto the wire. The tool handles automatically release and spring open after the crimp cycle is complete.

AUDIO CONNECTIONS

Audio connections take advantage of the threepins per row design of the three- and six-pin AMP MOD IV housings. Three-pin housings are used for balanced digital connections while six-pin housings are used for balanced analog connections. One important exception is the Mic Preamp module, which uses three-pin connectors for balanced analog microphone inputs.

Pin Numbers for Analog &

Digital Audio Connectors,

3 2 1

3-pin

connector

Pin numbering shown from the wire insertion end,

oriented from the board operator’s perspective.

All audio wiring, when plugged into a module connector, has this orientation:

• The audio shields are on pins 1 and 4 (the pins closest to the board operator).

• The audio low wires (typically the black wires) are on pins 2 and 5 (the middle pins).

• The audio high wires (typically the red wires) are on pins 3 and 6 (the back pins).

For stereo applications, the left channel wires plug into the left column of pins and the right channel wires plug into the right column of pins (from the board operator’s perspective).

When a six-pin input comes from a mono source (such as an external microphone preamp output), the left and right inputs should be paralleled together (pins 1 and 4 tied together, pins 2 and 5 tied together and pins 3 and 6 tied together). If this is not done, then the module’s mode buttons will have to be set for mono operation (see page 35 for L/R Mode information on the Universal Input Module).

Analog Connections

There are no analog interstage patch points

digital

Likewise, the BMX

’s analog outputs may be routed through a patch bay normalled to standard peripherals such as analog on-air processing gear , recorders, telephone hybrids, etc.

The Mic Preamp module’ s line-level outputs (+4 dBu, nominal, balanced, mono outputs) can also be routed through a patch bay normalled to an input module, or to external mic processing .

When a mic processor with only a microphone level input is used, the microphone is connected directly to the mic processor , with the processor ’s line-level output either directly connected to an input module (using the mono wiring pinout shown below) or through a patch bay normalled to an input module.

The BMX rate timing, with sample rate converters on each input to synchronize/convert external digital signals to the console’s internal 48 kHz sample rate.

The console can synchronize to an external AES3 digital reference signal (of 48 kHz, ±100 ppm only) when using the optional Ext. Input DSP card (99-1356-1). A 3-pin connector on the card has a green LED next to it to indicate whether the internal or external reference is active. When a valid external reference signal is present, the LED is off. If the LED is still lit with an external signal connected, it indicates the reference signal is not present or is out of range.

modules have built-in logic I/O interfaces that can control, or be controlled by, peripheral devices connected to the console. For example, a CD player connected to a module can be automatically started when the module is turned on. Then, at the end of the cut, the CD Player logic can turn the module audio off and control the off button illumination to indicate that the cut has been played.

When a mic remote control panel is connected, its On, Off, Cough and Talkback buttons control the module while tally outputs from the module control the button tallies on the mic panel.

BMX connectors:

• Universal Input modules have two MAIN connectors for the devices connected to the A and the B inputs and two T/B OPTION connectors for separate talkback control for the A and B mic inputs.

• Telco/Codec and RLS modules have a single LOGIC I/O connector for the device connected to the module.

• The Session module has three EXT TIMER connectors for resetting studio or producer timers, a D AT A (RJ-45) connector for connecting the console to a local LAN and the connectors for the factory-installed wiring that ties the mainframe to the meter panel.

• The Control Room module has a LOGIC connector for the warning light, mute, dim, and talkback. A CUE CNTL connector allows external cue input control.

• The optional Studio module has two LOGIC connectors for dim, mute, and warning indications and two talkback connectors (PRODUCER and EXTERNAL).

Note: F or complete isolation of the console and a peripheral device, use only the opto-isolated control connections. Both logic ground and +5 VDC are referenced to the console’s power supply and ground and should only be connected to isolated devices like mic control panels or other Harris Accessory Panels. Connecting logic ground to a nonisolated device may result in a ground loop between the console and the peripheral device.

UNIVERSAL LOGIC INTERFACE

A block diagram of the Universal Input module logic interface is shown on page 2-13. Logic outputs (shown on the right side of the illustration) are isolated from the peripheral device by six solidstate “relays. ” T he “relay contacts” can switch logic voltages of up to 60 volts at 350 mA.

Pressing the On button generates a 220 ms contact closure from pin 5 (Start Command Pulse). A sustained contact closure while On is available on pin 23 (Start Command Sustained). It stays closed as long as the module is On. Pressing the Off button generates a 220 ms closure from pin 4 (Stop Command Pulse). These three command outputs are tied together at pin 13 (Command Common).

Module DIP switches DS2-2 (for the A input) and DS4-2 (for the B input) , set whether a single pulse is output when the module status changes (Off to On, or On to Off), or if each additional press of the On or Off buttons produces another contact closure. The default setting (switch 2 set to OFF) is a single contact closure. When DS2-2 or DS4-2 is set to ON, then each additional press of the On or Off button produces another 220 ms contact closure.

T he remaining outputs; Logic Active/Cue Tally [pin 15], On Tally [pin 17], and Off Tally [pin 16], are tied together at Tallies Common [pin 14]. T hey present sustained logic outputs for each function.

There are six logic inputs on the left side of the illustration: Reset, Ready, On, Off, Cough and Talk to Control Room/Ext. Cue. These inputs are optoisolated and current limited so any logic voltage from +5 to +40 VDC can be used. Reset and Read y have both high (+) and low (-) input pins so that either polarity logic can be used. The other inputs use active low logic (pull to ground) that typically come from a mic control panel (although On and Off could be triggered by a peripheral device). To use these inputs, pin 18 (Activate Logic Inputs) must be jumpered to the + logic voltage. Typically

this is pin 6 (Logic Supply +5 VDC), but it can also be supplied by the peripheral device.

The Audio Reset and Ready inputs can use either active low logic (pull to ground) or active high logic (pull to +VDC) from peripheral devices. With active high logic, Ready (-) and Audio Reset (-) are tied to logic ground on the peripheral device. Ready (+) and Audio Reset (+) then connect to the appropriate logic outputs on the peripheral device.

When active low logic is used by the peripheral device, Read y (+) and A udio Reset (+) connect to the logic supply voltage on the peripheral device, and Ready (-) and Audio Reset (-) connect to the appropriate logic outputs.

Pin 15’s signal (Logic Active Tally / CueTally) changes depending upon whether the channel logic switches (DS1/DS3) are set to mute any location. When any mute is set (DS1/DS3, switches 2 - 5

are set to On), the module is set as a microphone and the Logic Active Tally output (pin 15) is closed when that input (input A for DS1 or input B for DS3) is active. When no mute is set, the module is set for line logic and pin 15 becomes a Cue Tally.

Setting DIP Switches

When referring to a module’s DIP switch setting, a switch is Set to Off when it is to the right and it is Set to On when it is to the left (orientation is from the board operator’s perspective). In

the illustration, all odd numbered switches are shown set to On and all even numbered switches are shown set to Off.

Universal Input Module Logic and Mics

Microphone logic has three main functions: to mute the monitor speakers in the room with a “hot” mic; to command a hot mic warning light; and to activate logic functions like talkback and cough.

The warning commands come from the Control Room or Studio modules, but it is the Universal Input modules that tell the monitor modules that the input is a mic and where that mic is located (control room, a studio, or an external site).

Setting a Universal input module as a mic input is done by either setting DIP switch 2, 3, 4 or 5 to On on DS1 (A input) or DS3 (B input) or, when a console is tied into a VistaMax system, b y assigning the input using its Room Code. The Room Code is a VistaMax system function that sets the room using a Session file setting that is typically used when the mic is routed through the VistaMax system.

Direct Mic Connections

Pages 2-58 and 2-59 summarize setting up a Universal Input module as a direct microphone input, utilizing a PRE99-1198 Mic P anel (simplified schematic shown below). This is typically how mics in the control room or in a dedicated studio are connected. Both the mic audio and the mic

logic are wired directly to an input module’s connectors. This is typically how mics are wired even when the console is connected to a VistaMax system since the active input mic audio can be made available as a VistaMax source—allowing the mic audio to be routed to another console or other destination in the VistaMax system.

VistaMax Mic Connections

When a studio, voice-over booth, or other external location will be shared by multiple control rooms, then the shared mics should be routed through the VistaMax system. This then allows

digital

each BMX

console to independently control the mics (just as if they were directly connected to the console) via the VistaMax system.

The shared mics and their mic panels are wired directly to an Analog I/O and a Logic I/O card in a VistaMax frame. The logic signals for the mic panel are “bound” to the mic audio during setup. Thus, selecting a mic as a source by any console automatically routes both the audio and logic to that console through its Net Card. Tally commands from the console to the mic panel are routed through the Net Card and the Logic I/O Card.

For additional networked audio information refer to the VistaMax manual (Harris # 75-52).

pole, single throw) momentary contact switches with LED or lamp indicators. Lamps must be 6.3 volt type with a current draw of under 50 mA.

Tie one side of each switch and lamp to Logic Common (pin 1, 2 or 3 on the MAIN connector). The other side of the Cough and Talkback lamps are tied together to Logic Active Tally (pin 15).

Each switch is tied to its logic counterpart (the On switch goes to the On (-) input, pin 7, the Off switch goes to Off (-) input, pin 8, etc.). The on/off lamps are tied to their Tally outputs (On lamp to On Tally, pin 17; Off lamp to Off Tally, pin 16).

T allies Common (pin 16) is jumpered to +5 VDC (pin 6, 10, 11 or 12). Pin 18, Activate Logic Inputs (+), is also jumpered to +5 VDC (typically pin 6 is used).

Input Module Logic (Universal Input, T elc o/C odec , RLS) and Peripheral Devices

Peripheral devices are controlled through the Start and Stop Command Pulses, or through the Start Command Sustained logic, and the Commands Common connections.

In the basic logic connection example on pages 2-60 and 2-61, activ e low logic is used, thus Commands Common is connected to the logic ground on the peripheral device (labeled Command Common on the Denon CD player in the example).

In the complex logic example shown on pages 2-62 and 2-63, active high logic is used, thus Commands Common connects to +5 VDC.

Note: This voltage is more typically supplied directly by the peripheral device in order to prevent ground loops.

Peripheral devices control the module through the Reset and Ready logic inputs. In the example on pages 2-60 and 2-61, only the Read y function is used. The Ready function performs an audio Reset, which turns off the module without generating a Stop Command Pulse. In addition, it also controls the Off lamp illumination.

Pages 2-62 and 2-63 show an example where Reset (+) and Ready (+) connect to +5 VDC on the module. The Ready (-) command and the Reset (-) command are pulled low by the active low logic relay outputs on the peripheral device, which all tie to the module’s Logic Ground (pin 1).

For devices requiring a steady On signal, the Start Command Sustained output can be used.

Additional Logic Connections

There are additional logic connections on the Session module, Control Room module, optional Studio module, and Output 1 module.

Three 3-pin connectors on the Session module interface remote timers so they can be reset by the console timer reset logic. The Session module also has factory-installed cabling for the clock and timer , the talkback mic, the digital meters and the meter legend display data. For more information on the Session module’s logic connections and settings, see pages 2-32 and 2-33.

A 14-pin connector on the Control Room module carries the logic interface for the Control Room warning light, mute, dim and talkback. An 8-pin connector on the Control Room module controls the External Cue input. For more information on the Control Room module’s logic connections and settings, see pages 2-34 to 2-38.

The optional Studio module has two 14-pin connectors to control the two studios’ logic (warning lights, mutes, dims). The Studio module also has two 16-pin connectors: one for the talkback audio and logic for a producer , the other for talkback audio and logic from an external site. For more information on the Studio module’s logic connections and settings, see pages 2-40 to 2-49.

The Output 1 module includes an 8-pin connector to control the producer’s talkback to each mix-minus output. For more information on the Output 1 module’s logic connections and settings, see pages 2-50 to 2-53.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION OF CONNECTION

Equivalent to a Normally Open (N/O) relay contact. A momentary “contact closure” of 220 ms is generated when the module On b utt on i s pres sed. Typically connects to th e Re mo te St ar t l ogi c in put on t he pe ri phera l de vice. When DS2-2 or DS4-2 is set to On, each press of the On button generates another contact closure.

Same as the Start Command Pulse, except it is initiated by the module Off button. Typically connects to the Remote Stop or Pause logic input on the peripheral device.

Same as Start Command Pulse, except it is a maintained contact closure for as long as the module is on. Typically connects to the Remote Start logic input on a peripheral device that cannot use a start pulse.

The Common (C) relay contact output for the three Start and Stop Command outputs. Sets whether the Start and Stop Commands are active high (connect this pin to the logic supply voltage on the peripheral device) or active low (connect this pin to logic ground on the peripheral device).

To enable the control inputs: On, Off, Cough, Talk/Ext Cue, tie this pin to + logic voltage (+5 to +40). When tied to an isolated device like a mic remote panel, use the Logic Supply +5 VDC (jumper pin 18 to pin 6, 10, 11 or 12).

When pulled low, turns the module on from off, generating a Start Pulse if DS2-3 or DS4-3 is set to On. Input is ignored if the module is already on, unless DS2-2 or DS4-2 is set On (each press generates a Start Pulse output).

When pulled low, turns the module off from on, generating a Stop Pulse if DS2-3 or DS4-3 is set to On. Input is ignored if the module is already off, unless DS2-2 or DS4-2 is set On (each press generates a Stop Pulse output).

When pulled low, mutes the audio from all assigned buses for as long as the Cough button is pressed. When pulled low, and the module is set as a Mic, the input audio is muted from all output buses and only routed

to the talkback bus. When set as a Line, routes the input audio to the Cue bus while the input is low.

All Tally outputs are N/O “dry contact” type outputs. Typically used to drive indicators, the outputs can sink or source up to 60 volts at 350 mA. The “C” or common contact for all the tallies is Tallies Common (pin 14).

This output connects to Tallies Common while the module is off when DS1-8 or DS3-8 is set to On. When DS1-8 or DS3-8 is set to Off, then this output is controlled by the Ready logic.

This output connects to Tallies Common while the module is on. This output connects to Tallies Common when the module is set as a M ic and the matching A or B input is

selected. When set as a Line input, the output is connected to Tallies Common while Cue is active. The “C ” relay contact for the three Tallies, it must be tied high or low to provide the return path for the Tallies.

Typically, the tally lamps are all tied to ground and Tallies Common connects to the lamp supply voltage (+5 to +60 VDC). If the Tallies are tied to +VDC, then this pin would tie to ground.

These complementary logic inputs require +5 to +40 VDC between the (+) input and the (-) input for activation. This can be done by connecting an active high logic to the (+) input and grounding the (-) input, or by supplying +5 to +40 VDC to the (+) input and an active low logic to the (-) input.

When activated while the module is on, tur ns the module off without generating a stop pulse. When activated while the module is off, it controls the Off lamp to indicate device status. Typically, no lamp indicates the peripheral is not ready to play, a steady lamp on indicates the device is ready, and a flashing lamp indicates the device has already played or is not yet cued up.

When activated while the module is on, turns the module off without generating a stop pulse. Input is ignored if the module is already off.

Module logic voltage output sources that can deliver up to 300 mA of current to isolated control panels. All pins are simply paralleled for convenience.

Module logic ground. Should be connected to isolated control panels only.

UNIVERSAL INPUT MODULE — T/B OPTION LOGIC

The left logic connector has the talkback features for the A input; the right logic connector has the talkback features for the B input. Talkback is only active when the module is set as a Microphone (a mute location is set on switches 2 thru 5 on DS1 and/or DS3).

The control logic can come from a PRE991199 Mic Panel with Five Talks, or from a custom talkback panel. Each Talk command input (Talk to Studio 1 (-), Talk to Studio 2 (-), etc.), when held low , routes the pre-fader, pre-s witch module audio to the selected talk destination.

Privacy, when active, prevents anyone from monitoring the pre-switch audio in the console. While Privacy (-) is pulled low, Privacy Tally Command (pin 5) is tied to Privacy Common (pin 12), to provide a low output for activ ating a lamp or LED Privacy Activ e indicator.

TELCO / CODEC MODULE — LOGIC I/O

The 24-pin LOGIC I/O connector allows the module to control, or be controlled by, the device attached to the module.

A device can connect directly to the module or it can connect through a switcher . Two types of switchers are supported: VistaMax and the PRE99-947 External Remote Line Selector (Ext. RLS). The source (switcher or direct) and the switcher type (VistaMax or Ext. RLS) are set via DIP switches DS2-4 and DS2-5.

When the module connects to an Ext. RLS , several logic connections (pins 15, 16, 17 and 23) become RLS address outputs. This change occurs only when DS2-4 is set ON and DS2-5 is set to OFF. When a VistaMax or other router is used (DS2-5 is set ON), these pins do not change function since addressing is done through the Session module.

CONTROL ROOM MODULE — LOGIC

The 14-pin LOGIC connector has the hot mic warning output (Warning Relay) for a control room warning lamp interface, two remote inputs; Mute (-) and Dim (-), and various tally outputs (Mute, Dim and Talkback Tally).

The two Warning Relay outputs short together when a control room mic is on. They can be used as two “dry contacts” or one can be jumpered to + voltage to present a high logic, or to ground to present a low logic (on isolated ground devices, these can come from the Logic Supply +5 VDC or Logic Ground on the connector).

Note: The warning relay and control room

mute functions are only activated by modules set as control room microphones (DS1/DS3, switch 2 is On) and that are assigned to at least one PGM or UTL bus.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION OF CONNECTION

A pair of Normally Open (N/O) relay contacts. The t wo contacts main tain a “contact closure” while a Control Room mic module (with DS1-2 or DS3-2 set to ON) is turned on. The two pins can be used as a “dry contact” output, or one can be connected to the Warning Lamp control input while the other is tied to ground (to generate an active low logic output) or to + logic voltage (to generate an active high logic output).

This Normally Open (N/O) contact connects to Tallies Common while the control room speakers are muted. This Normally Open (N/O) contact connects to Tallies Common while the control room speakers are

dimmed. This Normally Open (N/O) contact connects to Tallies Common while Talkback is received by the Control

Room. This pin must be tied high or low to provide the return path for the various Tally outputs. Typically, the tally

lamps (or external relays) are all tied to ground and Tallies Common is the source for the lamp / relay supply voltage (+5 to +60 VDC). If the Tallies / relays are tied to +VDC, then this pin ties to ground.

To enable the control inputs: Mute and Dim, tie this pin to + logic voltage (+5 to +40). When tied to an isolated device like a remote panel, use the Logic Supply +5 VDC (jumper pin 14 to pin 6 or 7).

When pulled low, mutes the Control Room monitors. When pulled low, dims the Control Room monitors by 12 dB.

Module logic voltage output sources that can deliver up to 300 mA of current to isolated control panels. The pins are simply paralleled for convenience.

Module logic ground. Should be connected to isolated control panels only.

NET CARD

Only BMX Card installed can directly communicate with and control a VistaMax system. The Net Card (shown below) plugs into the motherboard at the right rear corner of the mainframe, behind the output modules. It is hidden by the meter panel in normal use. There are two talkback level trim controls on the card to set control room and producer talkback levels at installation. A blank panel covers the Net Card slot when the card is not present.

Local Analog & Digital Destinations

BMXdigital Net Card Front Panel Features

Some typical uses of the Net Card outputs include routing analog audio to the External Monitor inputs on the control room module, VistaMax intercom talk into the External Talk input, and for in-room recording equipment.

The Net Card inputs can connect Talk from External audio into the VistaMax system along with outputs of in-room equipment that do not require an input channel on the console yet still need to be made available throughout the facility through the VistaMax system.

digital

Without the Net Card, a BMX treated like any other console connected to a VistaMax system: input channel sources and console outputs must connect to VistaMax frame I/O inputs while I/O card outputs connect to the console inputs. Any in-room devices connected directly to the console would only be available through a bus output connection. VistaMax selector panels would then be used to select the input sources for the console inputs tied to the VistaMax.

With the addition of the Net Card, the BMX-

digital

console is integrated into the VistaMax system. A Net Card functions as the audio , logic and control interface between the entire console and the VistaMax system through the two Facet connectors. It automatically makes available to the VistaMax system any, or all, of the console input sources and console bus outputs.

The Net Card also provides eight local audio sources (four analog and four digital inputs) and eight local destinations (four analog and four digital outputs) for the VistaMax system.

The two Facet connections (CAT-5e, as shown above, or alternately Optical connections, not shown) each simultaneously send 64 signals to the VistaMax frame with 64 return signals coming from the VistaMax frame. Each signal may consist of: one channel of audio; any number of common logic commands; or it can be an audio signal with logic “bound” to the audio.

Although only one facet cable is required to tie

digital

the BMX facet connections can be used to double the signal carrying capability (128 signals coming from the console with another 128 signals returning to the console) or for connection redundancy.

Although the same type of V istaMax direct routing can be done using standard input modules, if no in-room audio connection is required on a module, then a less-expensive Net-Only input module can be used in lieu of any standard module.

There are two types of Net-Only modules: fullfeatured and limited feature (without Send and Utility bus controls) available for each type of input module (Universal Input, Telco, and RLS).

Net-Only Module Operation

Net-Only modules look identical to, and function the same as, standard modules—at least as far as the operator is concerned. They have the same controls as the standard modules. It is only when the meter panel is opened up that any differences can be seen.

Net-Only modules do not have audio or logic connections and only have one set of DIP switches on them (as shown to the right). Their inputs can only be a VistaMax source. But, that input can be controlled by the console logic, if set to do so in the Session file. Likewise, the logic from the source signal can be set to control the module (e.g., control the Off lamp and turn the module on or off).

Net-Only Module Installation

Net-Only modules can be placed into any input module position. The only limitation is on Telco modules: there can only be six Telco modules in a frame (regardless of what type of Telco module— standard or Net-Only , full-featured or limited feature set, is installed).

Both the Telco and RLS Net-Only modules are automatically setup as “switchers”—controlling a single destination on the VistaMax system. Input source selection for the Net-Only Universal Input

T he NetOnly Telco and RLS modules also have Sessionspecific settings (the destination they are assigned to, a source include list, a source exclude list, etc.). Refer to Chapter 4: Server or to the VistaMax manual (Harris # 75-52) for additional information on VistaMax source selection.

The eight DIP switches on Net-Only modules have different settings than on standard modules. Net-Only Module Switch Definition tables are on page 2-66. On Net-Only Universal Input modules , mute locations can be automatically set following the VistaMax Room Code. If Room Code is not used, then the mute location is set using the mute location DIP switches. On the Net-Only RLS modules the switches are not active. On the Net-Only Telco the switches set the Telco ID number and set whether the Off-line and Record source is pre or post fader.

The line-level balanced mono output from each preamplifier can jumper directly to

a Universal Input module; be routed through a patch bay; or connect to an external

line-level mic processor. The trim controls set the gain as required for each micro-

phone preamp. These are normally set during installation and should NOT be ad-

justed by the board operator.

come from a VistaMax System, there is a Source Selector and Take button on this

module (taking the place of the A/B selectors). There is also a Talkback button for

talking to the caller or remote in addition to Telco record enable and monitor select

buttons. Additional operational details on special Telco functions are presented on

TELCO/CODEC MODULE OPERATION

Up to six “callers” (any remote send and receive

device like a telephone hybrid, satellite transceiver,

ISDN interface, etc.) can connect to six Telco/

Codec modules (Telco), as illustrated below.

Each Telco is set to a unique Telco ID number

(see page 2-25) and has two mono mix-minus

outputs on the Output 1 module. The mono mix-

minus outputs, also called Foldback mixes, send

a sum of one of the program or off-line buses back

to the caller—but always minus the caller’s audio.

Hence the mix-minus nomenclature, and why

there are six separate Foldback outputs.

Typical Telco/Codec

Input (Send to network)

Output (Receive from network)

Telos Zephyr

TELCO FOLDBACK MIX

The Telco Foldback mix source, indicated by its

“winking” assignment button on each Telco mod-

ule, is derived from a program or off-line bus. The

bus used is determined by which buses are as-

signed and by whether an Auto-Foldback button

is on. If it is, then the Telco’s state (module On or

Off) also affects which bus is the Foldback source.

The program bus Foldback feeds are derived

post-switch and post-fader, but the off-line bus

feeds are pre-switch and either pre-fader or post-

fader (determined by Session module DIP switch

6, see page 2-33). The Telco modules have a sepa-

rate DIP switch (see page 2-25) active when pre-

fader is selected on the Session module. This al-

lows the Telco modules to be post-fader even when

Universal and RLS modules are pre-fader.

Note: When a Telco is set for pre-fader O/L feed,

this setting forces the active Send and Utility buses

to also be pre-fader, when the module is off.

Telco/Codec Module

(set as Telco #1)

Output 1 Module

Each mix-minus connector has two

outputs. The left output is meant for the

caller, remote talent, or a remote producer

since it has talkback superimposed over

the mono mix-minus. The right output is

a mono “clean feed” (it has no talkback).

It is used for guests or a remote site pro-

gram feed. The board operator talks to

any caller by pressing the Talkback but-

ton on that Telco module. A local Pro-

ducer can talk to any caller using a cus-

tom switch panel or a Producer Talk-

back/IFB panel (PRE99-1188).

Auto-Foldback On

When the AUTO F/B button is lit, as shown

below, that Telco’s Foldback mix automatically

switches between the assigned program bus when

the module is On, and the assigned off-line bus

when the module is Off, using this bus priority:

3 Operation

While the Module is On: Program 1 is the Fold-

back mix source. If it’s not assigned, then the

source is selected in this order; Program 2, Pro-

gram 3, Program 4, Off-Line 1, Off-Line 2.

While the Module is Off: Off-Line 1 is the pri-

mary Foldback mix. If it’s not assigned, then Off-

Line 2 is the source. If neither Off-Line is assigned,

there will be no mix-minus audio (except for any

talkback on the left output).

when the remote talent goes on-air, the mix-mi-

nus should not change, thus only Program 1 can

be selected on the Telco and the Program 1 mix-

minus will always be sent back to the remote, re-

gardless of whether the module is On or Off. If a

special remote broadcast mix is required, assign

Off-Line 1 or Off-Line 2 as well, and it will be the

return feed, regardless of the Program bus assign-

ments and whether the module is On or Off.

Auto-Foldback On is the most common setting

for call-in contests or interviews where the caller

will go live on-air. Typically, only the talent’s mic

input and the caller’s Telco are assigned to O/L 1.

With the Telco module Off, the caller can hear the

talent thru the O/L 1 bus and the talent can hear

the caller through either the Telco Monitor output

or Cue. When the Telco module is turned on, the

mix-minus switches to Program 1 (assuming the

air feed is Program 1), so the caller can hear ev-

erything going to air—minus their voice.

TELCO RECORD MIX

A two-channel Telco Record Mix output is avail-

able on the Output 1 module.

The left channel has

those Telco modules that

the program or off-line

base mix is determined

through a bus priority

order, similar to how the

Foldback Mix source is

selected. Again, the high-

est priority bus assigned on any TO REC Telco

becomes the source for the base mix—even if more

lower priority buses are assigned on more TO REC

Telco modules.

Typically, only one caller is recorded at a time,

but, because there can be up to six Telcos, and

each module can have completely different assign-

ments, the TO REC buttons not only record en-

able a module, they also indicate whether or not

that Telco is actually being recorded.

When the TO REC buttons are lit solid, as shown

Here are the two Telco Recording priority or-

ders and what happens in each condition:

AUTO F/B is off on all TO REC Telcos: The Base

Mix source is Off-Line 1. If it is not assigned, then

Off-Line 2 is the source. When either of these buses

are selected, the TO REC Telco module On/Off set-

tings do not affect the record output as shown on

the previous page. It is the easiest method to record

Module On/Off status changes the Base Mix source

TO REC button flashes to indicate Telco 2 is NOT being recorded. WHY? Because this module is On, which assigns it to the Program 1 Base Mix, but with Telco 1 Off, the Base Mix is Off-Line 1. If Telco 1 is turned On, and Telco 2 is still On, then the Base Mix is Program 1 and the TO REC button will be lit solid and this module will feed the left channel of the Telco Record Outputs.

callers.

When neither Off-Line bus is assigned, then the

Program buses are used in this order; Program 1,

Program 2, Program 3, Program 4. In this case

the TO REC Telco module must be turned On in

order to record the caller. If the TO REC module

is Off, then TO REC will wink, indicating that caller

is NOT being recorded.

AUTO F/B is lit on at least one TO REC Telco: In

this case, the source is controlled by the On/Off

state of any TO REC Telco with its AUTO F/B

button lit. When all of the Telcos with AUTO F/B

lit are On, then Program 1 is the primary base

mix (followed by Program 2, Program 3, Program

4, Off-Line 1, Off-Line 2).

When any of these modules are Off, then Off-

Line 1 becomes the base mix. If it’s not assigned,

then Off-Line 2 is the base mix. If neither Off-

Line is assigned, there will be no callers recorded

and all the TO REC buttons will be winking. This

is summarized in the illustration on this page.

Here is a summary table of what is, or is not,

recorded:

Each bar segment, from 0 down to -30 represents, a 1 dB level change between bars. From -30 to -57, each bar

represents a 3 dB difference in level. The bars are green from -57 up to -20. The -20 level is equivalent to a 0 VU

setting on a mechanical meter. With a properly set up console this results in a +4 dBu analog output (analog

outputs can be level trimmed, however). From -20 up to -3 the LEDs are yellow. Levels should always peak in this

area. The 0, -1, and -2 bars are red to indicate the signal is dangerously close to clipping. To prevent digital

distortion on the outputs, the red bars should rarely, if ever, light up—especially the 0 bar since this indicates the

signal is at, or attempting to go beyond, Full Scale Digital (the digital clipping point).

A Session module DIP switch (see page 2-33) sets the meter displays for average only (a solid moving bargraph

indicates the average signal level) or for average and peak (a solid bargraph represents the average level with a

single bar, typically 6 to 10 dB higher than the average bargraph, representing the peak level).

The two blue peak indicators may light up in either mode to indicate the signal is too hot. The level at which

the blue peak indicators turn on (0, -2, -4, or -6), and the meter display mode (peak hold, where the highest peak

bar stays lit for about 3 seconds, or non-peak hold, where the peak more accurately follows the signal), is set

separately for each meter using DIP switches on the edge of each meter PCA (see page 2-6).

in line with the DSP cards at the right rear corner

of the frame, behind the output modules. It is hid-

are no operator controls on the card.

The Net Card has eight local inputs and eight

local outputs from the VistaMax Audio Manage-

ment System. These travel to/from the console to

the VistaMax frame with the other console signals

through the two Facet connectors on the Net Card.

The Net Card’s inputs are used as sources in

the VistaMax system. They are made available to

one or more VistaMax destinations depending

upon how each input is published in the VistaMax

system.

The eight Net Card outputs show up as VistaMax

destinations. The source for each destination is se-

lected via a Session file setting or are manually

selected using a VistaMax hardware Selector Panel

or an on-screen software panel, to select the source.

Refer to the VistaMax manual (Harris # 74-52)

The SesFiles folder holds session and macro files. The SysFiles folder holds these console config and setup files: ROUTERS.INI, INVENTORY.TXT,

LOCAL_PUBLISH.CFG, EDGEDEVICE.INI, SERVERID.TXT and, when the console is net-

worked in a VistaMax System, a device publish file (Dx_PUBLISH.CFG) for other devices (con- soles and racks) in the VistaMax community.

BMXDIGITAL SERVER FILES OVERVIEW

RELEASE.TXT

This text file—stored at the top level of the flash drive, lists the operating system version, build number and build date. This can be compared to the current operating system build on the Harris FTP site (see page 5-1 for access details). The

release.txt file looks like this:

VistaMax Platform Version 4.20 [SJP] CE.NET 4.2 + 2004 Q1 and Q2 QFEs applied

#build 441 - built 08:09:2005 @ 16:46.08

NQX.INI

This essential setup file is in the Storage Card folder . It is read as the SBC starts after power up, when the SBC Reset button is pressed or when the SBC is reset via an FTP command.

The file stores the console’s IP address, server name, device number and several other start-up parameters. The file is maintained using VMCC. The most commonly edited file entries are cov-

ered in on page 4-5, BMX

PROVISIONED.HASH

This file is also in the Storage Card folder. It is created by VMCC, which uses it to determine which files are to be replaced when Distributing files. Deleting this file will cause the next Distribute files action to replace all files. This is equiv alent to selecting the Force Download option.

Server Configuration.

SESFILES FOLDER

The SesFiles folder holds all of the user-created session and macro files, and the init.mac file, which is a special macro file created and maintained using VMCC.

A session file is used to instantly change console channel settings for particular dayparts or for specific applications like voice tracking, production, newsroom use or on-air use. A session is created by first selecting the channel sources and setting the channel button assignments as required for a particular daypart or application. Pressing

name displayed, press into the console. This reconfigures the channel settings—except for those channels that are On, they do not change to the new session settings until they are turned Off to prevent any on-air signal interruption.

Macro files are text files like sessions, but they are not selected using the Session Selector. If a board operator would need to load a macro they can be assigned to a router channel, otherwise they are loaded using FTP commands (either manually using FTP V o yager or automatically by using the Task Scheduler program included on the 995000 CD-ROM). Macro files have a .mac suffix.

A special macro file maintained by VMCC, called init.mac, loads automatically each time the SBC starts up to set the sample rates on the two adjustable rate outputs on the Net Card.

Editing session files as well as creating and editing macro files are covered in later sections of this chapter and in Appendix A.
