iv FT730 Guide
Chapter 1: Introduction to the FT730 The FT730 FiberTran Fiberoptic Extender allows an ML530 Microphone/Line preamplifier or MC524 Monitor Controller to be placed up to 3300 ft (1 km) away from the processing core of an Avd Pro Series digital console. The FT730 is always used in pairs with one local unit at the control end and one remote unit at the far end connected by up to 1 km of fiberoptic cable.

Chapter 2: FT730 Features Front Panel The front panel has LEDs that indicate the status of the power supplies, synchronization activity, and the status of several other functions. Each group is discussed in the following sections. FT730 Front Panel 3 2 1 FT730 front panel (detail) 1. Power The system has two power supplies for redundancy.
Back Panel 1 1 I O I O FT730 back panel 1. Power Connectors (IEC) Accepts two standard IEC power cords (provided). Two autoranging switching supplies accept voltages in the range 100–240 VAC, 50–60 Hz. 1 FT730 back panel (detail) 1. AES/SYNC IN (female XLR or BNC), WORD IN (BNC) Connect this port to a digital sync reference (local unit only). Selection for XLR or BNC input is done using two internal jumpers shown in Figure 4. The unit is shipped with the jumpers set for the XLR input. 2.

MADI IN (BNC) MADI connection for signal being transmitted over fiber. • Connect TCC OUT to TCC control port at remote unit. Because the same unit is used at both ends, each has a TCC IN and a TCC OUT connector. However, only the TCC IN is intended to be used at the local end and the TCC OUT at the remote end. 5.

Technical Reference Synchronization for Distances Over 800 ft (250 m) MADI utilizes a polarity-free, serial NRZI (non-return-to-zero inverted) protocol with encoding at 125 Mbit/s (±100 ppm). Sample timing is controlled independently by distributing a master synchronization signal. Originally, the transmission medium was 75-W coaxial cable.
