Crystal Vision Introduction
1 Introduction
ADP 310 is a processor for analogue or 24-bit 48 kHz digital audio.
Audio signals are input and output as either two analogue stereo pairs or four AES
stereo pairs.
Audio signals can be gain controlled by +/- 18dB, delayed by up to 400mS, inverted,
muted, stereo to mono converted and shuffled. Asynchronous AES signals are
automatically resampled if not Dolby E encoded.
There are two slots for analogue or digital I/O piggybacks of which there are three
types: 3G-AIP2, 3G-AOP2 and DIOP4. The 3G-AIP2 piggyback has four analogue
inputs; 3G-AOP2 has four analogue outputs; DIOP4 has four stereo AES pairs.The
front slot (nearest handle) is for audio inputs and can be fitted with a 3G-AIP2 or
DIOP4 piggyback. The rear slot (nearest edge connector) is for audio outputs and can
be fitted with a 3G-AOP2 or DIOP4 piggyback. It is not possible to mix analogue and
digital signals, so an ADP 310 will be fitted with either a 3G-AIP2 + 3G-AOP2
combination or two DIOP4.
The main features are as follows:
•Optimise the audio: each channel has individual gain control and
stereo to mono conversion. The audio level can be increased or
decreased to match the rest of the system: each mono audio channel
offers individual gain control, adjustable between +18dB and -18dB in
0.1dB steps. Audio channels can be muted and stereo pairs
converted to mono. Audio channels can be delayed by up to 400mS.
Dolby E signals automatically bypass all audio processing.
•Audio resampling: Asynchronous 48 KHz AES signals automatically
resampled unless Dolby E encoded.
•Control of ADP 310 is by VisionWeb web browser software. Control
can additionally be from an active front panel on the frame, a remote
panel or via SNMP. Card edge control was also available prior to
2018.
•GPI control of configuration set-ups and status alarms.
•Supports the following rear module connectors: RM47, RM74.
•Compatible with Crystal Vision standard frames available in 2U, 1U
and desk top box.

ADP 310 User Manual R1.24 19 June 2019

Crystal Vision Introduction
ADP 310 Functional Block Diagram
Block Diagram Description
All analogue or digital audio is passed to audio processing blocks where gain and
delay adjustments are made after resampling. Dolby E encoded signals
automatically bypass the audio processing stage.
The outputs of the audio processing block are inputs to an 8x8 router which feeds
the plug-in output piggyback. In this way any of the eight digital channels or four
analogue channels can be routed to any output channel.
An analogue Black and Burst or tri-level syncs reference must be applied to provide
a stable clock to lock to the incoming AES and analogue audio.

2.2 Input and output piggyback boards
The ADP 310 board has two positions where one of three types of I/O module can
be plugged in to enable analogue or digital input and output. The front position is for
audio inputs and the rear for outputs.
The three types of piggybacks are 3G-AIP2, 3G-AOP2 and DIOP4. The only valid
combinations are shown in the table below:
AES I/O Analogue I/O
FRONT DIOP4 3G-AIP2
REAR DIOP4 3G-AOP2
3G-AIP2 Analogue Input
This analogue module has four balanced audio inputs. The links PL1-4 allow 0dBFS
to be set to +18dBu (to the right, towards SK1) or +24dBu (to the left, towards
SK2/3). The adjacent potentiometers RV1-4 are factory set and should NOT be
adjusted.

The I/O piggybacks plug onto the main board such that main board plugs J3, J4, J5
and J6, J7, J8 align with piggyback sockets SK2, SK3, SK1. With the component
side of the module top-most, align the piggyback sockets carefully with the plugs
and push firmly. Insert the plastic rivets supplied with the fitting kit through the main
board from the underside so they protrude through the piggyback board, then push
the rivet peg firmly to splay the end to lock the piggyback board in position.

Crystal Vision Rear modules and signal I/O
3 Rear modules and signal I/O
The 2U Indigo 2 frame will house up to 12 single height modules with a single or dual
power supply. The 1U Indigo 1 frame will house six single height modules and a
single or dual power supply. The Indigo DT desk top boxes have a built-in power
supply and will house up to two single height modules. All modules can be plugged in
and removed while the frame is powered without damage.
Note: For details of fitting rear connectors please refer to the appropriate frame manual.
ADP 310 can support the following rear modules: RM47, RM74.
Rear module connections with RM47
The RM47 being a single height module will allow maximum packing density with the
maximum number of outputs available. Eight channels of audio AES stereo pairs or
eight mono analogue channels are presented as balanced I/O on the 26-way high
density D-Type connector.

The 26-way audio ‘D’ connector RM47 module can be used for analogue or digital, inputs or
outputs - or a mixture of both depending on the I/O modules fitted. Half of the I/O channels on
the rear module are connected to the front I/O (nearest handle) module position and the
remainder to the rear module position. The DIOP4 will normally be configured as 110 ohm
balanced operation when using this rear module. In the ADP 310 the front piggyback position
is always dedicated to inputs and the rear for outputs. Note that analogue output channel
numbers are numbered C9-12.

4 General Purpose Interface
Introduction
Each frame slot has up to six connections ‘a-f’ for GPI control and monitoring. These
connections are available at the rear of the frame on the 26-way D-Type remote
connectors.
ADP 310 has four GPI inputs and two GPI outputs.
Each General Purpose Interface (GPI) input is fitted with a 6800Ω resistor connected
to the internal +5V and in the following table, this equates to logic ‘H’, so with no
connections to the GPI lines, preset 1 (logic ‘HHHH’) will be selected.
Each General Purpose Interface (GPI) output has a 270Ω resistor in series with its
output. This allows for an external LED to be driven, connected to a DC voltage of
+5V.
The GPI inputs can be programmed to automatically recall a previously saved preset
configuration. The 16 user preset configurations are selected using binary notation.
The two outputs can be programmed to assert themselves for a number of different
alarm conditions.

Crystal Vision Control and Status monitoring
5Control and Status monitoring
ADP 310 controls and status can be accessed by either the card edge control,
the rack front panel or by ‘VisionWeb’ remote control web browser software. ADP
310 is aware of what optional boards are fitted and adjusts the card edge/front
panel menu tree accordingly to reflect the options available. For instance, if
analogue audio piggybacks are fitted, then no provision is shown for selecting
digital audio sources or outputs. Similarly, the VisionWeb GUI also only shows
the functionality of the fitted options.
Board edge control was removed from ADP 310 in 2018. Therefore the card edge
control information detailed below is only relevant for older versions of the
product.
