Terminal & Distribution System
DigiFlex provides digital, analog, video, and
audio modules for distribution in professional
video systems. The model 1000 frame is the
foundation of a complete family of digital
and analog products. The 1000 Series is the
“Professional's Choice” for long-term
system requirements for distribution, timing,
and processing needs. The 1000 frame makes it easy to accomplish rigorous jobs in the studio and in the field.
The DigiFlex frame will accept11modules (10 when the redundant power supply is installed). Any combination of the
available modules can be installed into the frame. Each module has a companion rear cell for I/0 connections. The
DigiFlex frame can easily accommodate a combination of analog & digital DA’s, A to D’s, D to A’s, synchronizers, and
transcoder modules. SD1& HDTV modules are available. The DigiFlex frame has a comprehensive set of diagnostic fault
indicators. The power supply has a green LED indicating that it is functioning properly. A red LED indicates the DC fuse is
open. If a redundant power supply is installed, the power supply will indicate an input power fault (ie. no AC). A red LED on
the frame indicates a frame fault (loss of signal to any of the modules installed into the frame).
Audio Monitoring Feature
The DigiFlex frame system offers a special audio monitoring feature that eliminates the need for external audio monitor
switchers. Model1626 is an18-watt monitoring amplifier module that can be installed into an DigiFlex frame slot. The
1626 amplifier can monitor any DigiFlex audio card with an analog output. Rear Cell terminals are provided for connection
to external speakers (not provided by Link Electronics) for rack monitoring. A front edge card headphone jack is also
provided. The1626 includes a master volume control. Each analog audio monitor has an “output to bus” switch. Setting
the module’s switch to the “on” position sends a sample of the audio that the module is processing to the1626 monitoring
amplifier. Using the “output to bus” switch each module can be monitored individually.
Only one1626 monitoring amplifier is required per system. One1626 can monitor all of the audio modules installed into
ten or more frames. LED’s on each module rear cell indicate loss of signal. This allows the user to conveniently troubleshoot
connections at the rear of the frame. All module faults are tied together on a common bus. Relay contacts are provided on
a rear panel connector for an optional alarm. A +12 VDC power source is also available at the rear panel connector. The
alarm circuit of multiple frames can be wired together.
Frame Options
1000 - Frame with power supply, holds11modules, 1000/2 Frame with Dual power supply, holds 10 modules 7200 Mounting
Frame with power supply will hold any single DigiFlex module. It can be used as a stand-alone Frame-Sync or conversion
device, or it will hold any of the 41 DigiFlex modules. DigiFlex has a single isolated +12 volt power supply system distributed
on the back plane of the frame.
In the unlikely event a problem should occur with the DIGIFLEX 1000 Frame, it is usually repairable without removing it from service. With the exception
of a backplane problem, the DIGIFLEX 1000 Frame can remain fully operational during maintenance or repair. A redundant power supply may be
required for un-interrupted operation during repair. The rear cell is to be specified for the appropriate module. The rear I/O cells are capable of a
variety of different input and output connections. The cells can handle serial digital audio and video, analog audio and video as well as control
signals. The different rear cell I/O connections and the flexibility of the frame places virtually no limits on the diversity of applications that can be
accomplished with the 1000 frame.
