IC444 - Line Level I/O and GPIO
The IC444 module is populated with one 37-pin male and one 37 pin female D-Sub connector. The female
connector has 4 line level inputs and 4 optically isolated General Purpose Inputs (GPI). The male connector has
4 line level outputs 4 General Purpose Outputs (GPO) with relay. Auxiliary +12V DC and +5V DC power is
available on both connectors, allowing up to 100mA of current to be drawn from each IC444 module. GPIs can be
driven by external power (≥+3V to ≤+48V DC). The GPO relays tolerate ≤30V/0,3A AC or DC resistive load.
FO – four douplex optical MADI ports
The FO MADI I/O module is equipped with four MADI input ports and four MADI output ports, each transmitting or
receiving up to 64 audio channels. This amounts to a total number of up to 256 input channels and 256 output
channels per device. The interfaces are SC multi/singlemode. Each of port can be set to one of the MADI
standard. Both AES10-1991(56 channel) and AES10-2003(64 channel) can be set independently for each input
and output port.
BNC – four douplex optical MADI ports
The BNC MADI I/O module is equipped with four MADI input ports and four MADI output ports, each transmitting
or receiving up to 64 audio channels. This amounts to a total number of up to 256 input channels and 256 output
channels per device. The interfaces are BNC coax. Each of port can be set to one of the MADI standard. Both
AES10-1991(56 channel) and AES10-2003(64 channel) can be set independently for each input and output port.
Optocore Fiber Optic Connection
The device is equipped with an Optocore FX communication module, which is used for audio and data transport
as well as system control of MUX22. The OPTOCORE ® OPTICAL DIGITAL NETWORK SYSTEM utilizes Time
Division Multiplex technology (TDM) with a Fiber Channel based 8B10B-NRZI-coding. Static time slots guarantee
a synchronous transmission of all channels, at all times, without the use of dynamic bandwidth. All signals
connected to the intercom, audio, word clock/sync and auxiliary ports of the device are transmitted simultaneously
on one fiber while the second fiber of the LINK-Interface receives data from the network. The second LINK-
Interface pair is identical to the first one, and can optionally be used for the OPTOCORE® network redundancy.
SANE Ports
The device is equipped with two RJ45 200MBit SANE Ports, capable of transmitting 64 channels of synchronous
audio and 100MBit Ethernet.
RS485, GPIO or RS422 Auxiliary Ports
The manufacturer can equip the auxiliary ports with either four RS485/422 interfaces on a standard D-Sub 9-pin
connector or four GPI inputs and outputs on a high density D-Sub 15-pin connector. Customer specifies the
connection type at the time of order.
RS485 port with D-Sub 9-pin connector enables the use of a wide range of bi-directional and unidirectional
standards, such as RS485 and CAN-Bus (both bi-directional, CAN-Bus requires special firmware version) or
RS422, DMX and MIDI (unidirectional). The ports automatically sense whether they are sending or receiving
control data. The ports and their destinations are configured in the OPTOCORE CONTROL software. It is
possible to configure multiple drop-off connections.
The HD-Sub 15-pin connector provides four electronically isolated General Purpose Interface inputs (GPI) and
four General Purpose Interface outputs (GPO). The ports and their destinations are configured in the
OPTOCORE CONTROL software. It is possible to configure multiple drop-off connections.
RS422 port with HD-SUB-26-pin connector enables the use of a wide range of bi-directional and unidirectional
RS422. The ports and their destinations are configured in the OPTOCORE CONTROL software. It is possible to
configure multiple drop-off connections. Each of interface inputs and outputs are independent and differnet boun-
rate signals can be connected.
