Device Description Congratulations on your purchase of a DD32R-FX Digital I/O Module for Optocore and SANE with video, Ethernet and data interfaces. The DD32R-FX manual will quickly demonstrate its advantages and help to ease your day-today workload in a professional audio visual environment. The DD32R-FX is a digital I/O unit and interface to the OPTOCORE and SANE DIGITAL NETWORK SYSTEM.
Optocore devices, and complete networks, are configured and operated using the OPTOCORE CONTROL software. The software provides access to all configuration parameters and controls needed to operate the system, including: naming channels, setting gains and phantom power, routing as well as recall and capture of partial or full system configurations.

Device Details Optocore Fiber Optic Connection The device is equipped with the Optocore FX communication module. The OPTOCORE ® OPTICAL DIGITAL NETWORK SYSTEM utilizes Time Division Multiplex technology (TDM) with a Fibre Channel based 8B10B-NRZIcoding. Static time slots guarantee a synchronous transmission of all channels, at all times, without the use of dynamic bandwidth or latency.
Power Supply The device is optionally equipped with two power inputs and power supply units. If one power supply fails, due to malfunction of the feeding power line or the power supply unit itself, the device will automatically switch over to the other power supply unit. In order to make the power supply redundant, both power inputs must be connected to the main supply, if possible to different phases, power supply systems, or even better, one of them to an uninterrupted power supply (UPS).
Optocore bandwidth allocation The standard bandwidth allocation of an Optocore network is as follows: Audio 256 Channels @ 48 KHz – 1 Gbit network 768 Channels @ 48 kHz – 2 Gbit network RS485 Data 32 Channels Video 3 CVBS Video Channels * Ethernet 100 MBit Fast Ethernet * * If the network is used for the transport of Ethernet compatible data the capacity is reduced to one CVBS video channel plus 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet.
Connectors and Cables Optical Connection Multimode transceivers connected using a 50 µm OM3 fibre cable can be used for applications requiring cable lengths of up to 700 m (worst case). Single mode transceivers connected using a 9 µm fibre cable can be used for applications requiring cable lengths of up to 70 km (worst case). The total optical loss should be less than 6dB between transceivers.
Hardware Connection Example 1 The X6R units (analog to AES/EBU converters) are connected to a DD32R-FX using Optocore BI-B cables as shown in Fig. 1... The word clock is transmitted through the word clock I/Os using standard 75 Ω cables. The following figure demonstrates the configuration of a 48 send and 16 return system with four Optocore X6R units using two input cards each, two X6R units with one input and one output card each and one DD32R-FX. Fig.
Example 2 The X6R-FX unit is connected to a DD32R-FX using both Optocore fiber links creating a dual redundant ring topology.. The word clock is transmitted via fibre and SANE between OPTOCORE DEVICES – there is no need for external coaxial cables between the devices. In this example a console is fed with Word Clock as shown below, however other synchronisation methods are also available.
