14811 • January 2005 • Introduction/overview

INTRODUCTION/OVERVIEW

The multi-function Sigma DA5320 8 Channel Mixer/Router module is a member of the Sigma 5000 series OctaStream™product line. The DA5320 is to be used in facilities utiliz-

ing AES digital audio signals requiring input gain and phase adjustment or where AES digital audio mixing and single channel routing is needed.

PRODUCT SCOPE

This module has the capability to perform two distinct functions -

1. As a member of the Sigma OctaStream™ product family, it includes the OctaBus™ TDM interconnect. This allows the DA5320 to function as a 64 X 8 channel AES router utilizing a single input connector. Deformatting AES signals into single channel streams along with distinct input/output channel assignment facilitates channel-swapping across AES signals.

2. It has the capability to proportionally mix individual input channels into a single output. Each output channel has an 8-channel mixer.

SYSTEM COMPONENTS

Frame

The DA5320 module is engineered to operate in a Sigma S5000 Signal Management Frame. This frame provides all the necessary interface components and power for operation of the DA5320 module.

Interface Components

To accommodate a variety of connector requirements necessary for the signal formats accepted by the S5000 Signal Management System, a number of backplanes are available. The DA5320 requires either an RP302 Twisted Pair I/O or RP303 BNC I/O Backplane.

Each S5000 Signal Management System frame is supplied with two (2) backplanes. The required backplane(s) is specified at the time of order. If an existing frame does not have the required backplane, replacement backplanes are available from Sigma Electronics and can easily be installed in the field.

Power

The S5000 Signal Management System frame provides the required power to operate the DA5320 via the backplane adapter. Dual power supplies are available for redundant applications.

Modules

The DA5320 consists of a single-slot card containing a front panel interface of switches, indicator LED’s and a four-digit, seven-segment LED display. Via this interface all common configuration settings and status indications are available to the user.

Optionally, if a CI5705 Communications Interface Adapter is installed in the S5000 Signal Management System frame, the DA5320 may be configured and controlled from a remote location via the EIA-485 port. The CI5705 is also necessary if an external video reference is required.
