1 Warnings & Safety Information

1. Both appliance power cables mus t be removed from t he devic e for Power Disconnection.

2. Remove the phone cable from the POTS interface before servic i ng.

THUNDERSTORM AND LIGHTNING WARNING:

DO NOT USE Tieline codecs during thunderstorms and lightning. You may suffer an injury using a phone, Tieline codec, or any device connected to a phone during a thunderstorm. This can lead to personal injury and in extreme cases may be fatal. Protective devices can be fitted to the line, however, due to the extremely high voltages and energy levels involved in lightning strikes, these devices may not offer protection to the users, or the Tieline codec and equipment connected to the codec.

Secondary strikes can occur. These secondary strikes are induced by lightning strikes and also produce dangerously high currents and energy levels. You only need to be near an object struck by lightning to lead to personal injury or damage to equipment. e.g. if you are located near a lighting tower at a sports facility, water features and drains on golf courses, you may be affected by these secondary strikes.

Damage to personnel and Tieline codecs may occur during thunderstorm, even if the codec is turned off but remains connected to the phone or ISDN system, LAN or the power.

ANY DAMAGE TO A TIELINE PRODUCT CAUSED BY LIGHTNING or an ELECTRICAL STORM WILL VOID THE WARRANTY. Use of this product is subject to Tieline's SOFTWARE LICENSE and WARRANTY conditions, which should be viewed at

www.tieline.com/support before using this product.

DIGITAL PHONE SYSTEM WARNING:

DO NOT CONNECT YOUR TIELINE CODEC TO A DIGITAL PHONE SYSTEM. PERMANENT DAMAGE MAY OCCUR! If you are unfamiliar with any facility, check that the line you are using is NOT a digital line. If the Tieline codec becomes faulty due to the use of a digital phone system, the WARRANTY WILL BE VOID.

WARNING:

HIGH LEAKAGE CURRENT. EARTH CONNECTION ESSENTIAL BEFORE CONNECTING SUPPLY. If the total leakage current exceeds 3.5 mA, or if the leakage current of the connected loads is unknown, connect the supplementary ground terminal to a reliable ground connection in your facility.

Supplementary ground connection

A supplementary ground terminal is provided on the codec to connect the unit to a ground connection. The ground terminal has an M4 stud with M4 retaining nuts and is compatible with all grounding wires. Remove only NUT 2 to connect your ground wire. The ground wire must have a suitable lug. When refitting NUT 2 ensure that both NUT 1 & NUT 2 are correctly tightened to establish and maintain a proper earth connection.

5 Genie Dis tribution Rear Panel Connections

XLR Anal og and AES3 Inputs

XLR IN1/AES3 and IN 2 are balanced line inputs. Input 1 can also be used as an AES3 (AES/EBU) digital input. This input accepts both mono and

stereo digital AES3 signals.

XLR Anal og and AES3 Outputs

XLR OUT 1 and 2 are balanced analog audio line outputs. AES3 OUT is an AES/EBU digital audio output. Both the analog and digital outputs can be used

simultaneously and the AES3 output can send both mono and stereo signals via the single XLR output.

DB-25 Input/ O utput Expansion Connector

Genie Distribution codecs have a female DB25 connector for attaching a male DB25 Tascam (pinout) breakout cable, providing 4 additional analog XLR in/outs, or 4 additional channels of digital AES3 audio in/out. Please note that expansion inputs/outputs 3, 4, 5 and 6 must be either all analog or all digital AES.

The additional audio inputs/outputs are grouped in pairs: inputs 3 and 4 and inputs 5 and 6. By default, if you program analog or digital audio in on expansion inputs then you will get the same output; i.e. analog in = analog out, or digital in = digital out. This can be adjusted if required. E.g. you can configure analog in on inputs 3, 4, 5 and 6 and AES3 digital out on outputs 3, 4, 5 and 6, or

vice versa. Adjust the output setting independently if required via SETTINGS > Audio >

Output Type > [Select Outputs 3 to 6] > [Select output type].

For analog sources use XLR input cables 3, 4, 5 and 6. For digital AES3 sources use input 3 for channels 3 and 4 and use input 4 for channels 5 and 6. Similarly, for analog outs use XLR output cables 3, 4, 5 and 6. For digital AES3 audio out use output 3 for channels 3 and 4 and use output 4 for channels 5 and 6. DB25 pin outs are available in Appendix B.

Dual Gigabit Ethernet Ports

The codec features two Gigabit (10/100/1000) RJ-45 Ethernet ports for IP connections. By default, the codec assumes ETH1 is the primary LAN connection and ETH2 is the backup LAN connection when in use. If you are only using one Ethernet port, always use ETH1.

Input/Output Sett i ngs.

· Genie Distribution supports input expansion with inputs/ outputs 3, 4, 5 and 6. Expansion inputs 3 to 6 must be either all analog or all digital. Expansion outputs 3 t o 6 must als o be either all analog or all digit al. B y default the output selection follows the input selecti on, however, inputs and outputs c an be configured differently. F or example, if you configure expansion inputs 3 to 6 as analog, you can configure all expansion outputs 3 t o 6 as digital AE S3. Adjust the output set ting independently if required via

SETTINGS > Audio > Output Type > [Sele ct Outputs 3 to 6] > [Sel ect output type].

Audio Levels and Default PPM Metering

The PPM meters use dBu to express nominal operating, headroom and noise floor levels. Set audio levels so that audio peaks average at the nominal 0vu point indicated on the front panel PPM meters. This represents a program level of +4 dBu leaving the codec. Audio peaks can safely reach +22 dBu without clipping, providing 18dBu of headroom from the nominal 0vu point.

The following PPM settings are displayed by default in the codec. The default settings can be adjusted via Settings > Audio > PPM Mode.

Mono and Stereo Metering

When connected with a mono program the codec will display a mix of inputs 1 and 2 on PPM1. PPM 3 displays the level of return audio.

Intell i gent G ai n Control (I G C)

The codec's inbuilt DSP limiter automatically takes care of any instantaneous audio peaks that occur in demanding broadcast situations. Input IGC (Intelligent Gain Control) is enabled by default and is automatically activated at +20 dBu (G5 audio scale) and +14dBu (G3 audio scale) to prevent audio clipping.

There are three settings; Auto, Fixed and Off. If Auto is configured the codec will detect when incoming audio levels have reduced sufficiently and automatically return input levels to the gain setting prior to IGC being activated. The codec takes just 250 milliseconds to detect audio levels have returned to normal (after IGC Level has been initiated) and will return the levels to the previous setting within half a second. This response is linear.

To adjust this setting in the codec:

1. Press the SETTINGS button.

2. Navigate to Audio and press .

3. Navigate to Input IGC and press .

4. Select the channel you want to adjust and press .

5. Navigate to the preferred setting and press .

Configure Audio Reference Metering when Connecti ng to Tieli ne G 3 Codecs

New generation Genie, Merlin and Bridge-IT IP codecs have more audio headroom than Tieline G3 audio codecs, therefore the audio metering reference scale needs to be adjusted when connecting to a Commander or i-Mix G3 codec with one of these codecs. The G3 metering scale is between 11dBu and +18dBu. Tieline codecs perform this metering adjustment automatically when they connect to each other or this can be programmed to occur by default.

1. Press the SETTINGS button.

2. Navigate to Audio and press .

9 Configuring AES3 Input Audio

T he codec has an IN1/AES3 input on the rear panel of the codec for AES3 (AES/ E BU) format audio. This balanced 110 ohm female XLR input can operate effec t ively over distances of up to 100 meters and accepts both mono and stereo AES3 s ignals. If your codec s upports multiple channels of AES audio use the DB25 EXPANSION AUDIO I/O connection to send/receive up to 4 additional channel s of AES3 audio. Please note that expansion inputs/ outputs 3, 4, 5 and 6 must be either all analog or all digital AES. See Appendix B for the DB25 wiring pin-outs.

1. Press the SETTINGS button.

2. Navigate to Audio and press .

3. Select Input Type and press the button.

4. Navigate to the inputs you want to configure and press the button to toggle between Analog and AES3.

The 3 pin male XLR AES3 OUT connector is capable of sending both mono and stereo AES3 signals.

Importa n t Notes: Input levels are set at 100% automatic ally for AES3 c onnections. If you switc h back t o the analog input sett ing after selecting AES 3, t he previous analog settings will be recov ered .

AES3 Sample Rate Conversion

The codec contains two sample rate converters.

Input Sa mple Rate Converter

The codec implements an Asynchronous Sample Rate Converter (ASRC) to convert the sample rate of an AES3 input to the sample rate set in the codec. The codec sample rate is determined by the selected algorithm. For example, if you select the Music algorithm, the sample rate will be set to 32kHz.

By default the codec will up-sample all channel 1 and 2 AES3 input sources to 96kHz sampling unless your audio source uses a 44.1kHz sample rate.

Important Notes: If your codec supports up to six AES3 inputs, the three AES3 stereo inputs are multiplexed onto analog inputs 1, 3 and 4. There are also three AES3 stereo outputs via the AES3 Out XLR and two are multiplexed onto outputs 3 and 4 (see

Appendix B for pin-outs of inputs 3 and 4 and outputs 3 and 4).

The inputs have asynchronous sample rate converters to facilitate sources with different sample rates being attached to the codec. For example, IN1-AES (Inputs 1 and 2) can be 48kHz AES-IN2 (IN3&4) can be 32kHz and AES-IN3 (IN5&6) can be 96kHz

Output Sample Rate Converter

The sample rate of the AES3 output is configured using the clock source setting via the SETTINGS button and then Audio > Input Type > AES3 Out. This configures the sample

rate frequency of all AES3 output signals and there are three possible settings.

30 Geni e Distribution User Ma nual v1.6

Locked to AES3 Input

If this setting is used, the codec will use the sync information received by the AES3 input to set the output sample rate in the codec (Note: this is the same as the AES Rx Clock setting in Tieline G3 codecs). The codec will initially try to use the signal on AES inputs 1 and 2 as the clock to which the AES outputs are synchronised. If unavailable, it will then attempt to use inputs 3 and 4 or inputs 5 and 6 in that order. If you select this option, all AES inputs must always be synchronised to the same clock source, e.g. if AES3 inputs 1 and 2 use 48kHz sampling then inputs 3 and 4 and inputs 5 and 6 must also be synchronised to the same clock.

Wordclock Sync In

This setting configures the codec for a word clock source via the SYNC INPUT on the codec rear panel (this is the same as the External Word Clock setting in Tieline G3 codecs). Often this will be a studio reference signal (D.A.R.S., or Digital Audio Reference Signal). In television broadcasting facilities, the audio reference signal should be locked to the video reference if there is one available. The sample rate being received is recognized by the codec and automatically adjusted within it. Sample rates from 32 kHz to 96 kHz are accepted, including the most popular rates of 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz.

Fixed Sample Clock

Select from a range of fixed output sample rates.
