lellogic control for control room speaker dim and

mute,and to provide a controloutput for the Con-

trol Room warning lamp controller.

The Control Room module has independent

monitorandheadphone sourceselectorsandmoni-

tor and headphone fader level controls.The mod-

ule also has input mode controls, Cue and talk-

back level controls and a solo clear button.Addi-

tional headphone controls include an Autocue se-

lector and a button to force the headphones to

follow the monitor source selection.

line logic functions for both inputs,also set using

the module’s Setup DIP switches.

The Universal Input module has controls for the

following functions: A/B input selection, input

mode selection, channel on/off, fader level, solo,

cue, pan/balance, two Send selectors and level

controls, and ten output bus selectors (four pro-

gram, four utility, and two off-line buses).A two-

linedisplayshowstheAandBinputsource names.

Two 24-pin connectors connect logic wiring to/

fromexternalperipheralsor control panels for the

A and B inputs.Two 14-pin connectors allow re-

mote talkback (active when microphone logic is

selected) for the A and B inputs. Four 8-position

DIP switches set logic and module function op-

tions independently for the A and B inputs.

Telco/CodecInput Module

An optional module that provides audio and

logicconnectionsforatelephonehybridoracodec

(satellite transceiver, ISDN interface, etc.). Up to

sixTelco modules can be installed in the frame.

Telco modules have digital and analog inputs

(the active input is set via DIP switch) and the

same controls as a Universal Input—minus the

A/Binputselector.Additionalmodulecontrolsin-

clude: telco monitor bus and telco record output

assignment buttons, a Talk to Codec function, a

Source Selector and aTake button (for source se-

lection with aVistaMax, Ext. RLS or a router).

Each Telco module has an associated mix-

minus (Foldback) of any combination of the pro-

gram, utility or send buses and two off-line mix

buses. An Auto-Foldback function can automate

switching Foldback between an off-line mix and

the assigned bus with module off and on.

StudioModule

This optional module has the monitoring and

talkbackcontrolsfortwoseparatestudiosor voice

booths, plus talkback audio and control inputs

for a producer/call screener position and for an

externalposition.

The Producer and External audio inputs are

line level.The Mic Preamp module may be used

asneeded for these inputs.AProducerTalkback/

IFB Panel (PRE99-1188) is also available.It pro-

vides a mic and preamp for the Producer along

withTalk buttons for thirteen locations.

The Studio module has two parallel logic con-

nectorsforthe Studio 1 and 2 dim,mute,and Stu-

dioWarning Lamp interface controls.

The Studio module also has monitor and talk-

back selector controls,and monitor and talkback

level controls.All of the controls operate indepen-

dently for each studio.

OutputModules

There are three Output modules.The Output 1

module has the digital-to-analog converters and

mix matrices for creating mix-minus foldbacks to

supportuptosixTelco/Codecmodules.Italsocon-

tains individually mixed outputs for Telco moni-

toring and recording.Two monaural mix-minus

outputs for each Telco/Codec module, one with

talkback (IFB) and one with a clean feed, are on

this module.

Digital and analog outputs are provided for the

mix-minus and recorder feed outputs. For digital

outputs, sample rates of 48 kHz and 44.1 kHz

are supported.The mix-minus analog outputs are

fixed at +4 dBu. This module features output

sample rate selectors for digital outputs and gain

trim controls for the analogTelco record mix out-

put and IFB level.

The Output 2 and Output 3 modules contain

the AES digital output drivers, digital-to-analog

converters,and analog line amplifiers for the Pro-

gram, Utility, and Send outputs. For digital out-

puts, sample rates of 48 kHz and 44.1 kHz are

supported.These modules feature output sample

rate selectors for the Program auxiliary outputs

and the Utility and Send outputs, as well as gain

trim controls for the Program, Utility, and Send

analog outputs.

DSPCards

The number of standard DSP (Digital Signal

Processor)cardsinstalled is frame-size dependent

(BMX

-8 has one DSP Card,BMX

-14 has two,

and so on up to the BMX

-38 with five cards).

DSP cards plug into the motherboard behind

the input modules,hidden below the meter panel

in normal use. Each card has a“heartbeat”LED

to indicate operation.An optional External Input

DSP (99-1355-1) adds an external AES-3 refer-

ence input for the first DSP Card position.

NetCard

Thisoptional card allows the BMX

digital

todi-

rectlyinterface to aVistaMaxAudioManagement

System. It plugs into the motherboard behind the

Output modules,hidden below the meter panel in

normal use.There are eightVistaMax inputs and

outputs on the card for connecting intercom, ex-

ternalmonitorsandotherin-roomequipmentthat

does not need to have local module control.

POWERSUPPLY

The separate rack-mount power supply (99-

1205) supplies +48 VDC and a voltage monitor

signalto the console. One supplycomes standard.

An optional second 99-1205 supply and a +48

VDC Coupler (99-1203) can be installed for re-

dundantsupplyoperation.Eachpowersupplyhas

its own AC input,On/Off switch and LED power

good indicator. Each power supply is fully regu-

lated and protected against excessive current by

internal fuses and electronic safeguards.

Specifications

The specifications for the BMX

digital

are sig-

nificantlymorecomplete,and the related test con-

ditionsaremoredefined,than those usually shown

for consoles in this class.Be sure to follow the test

conditions and measure in the units as stated.

The specifications are for a fully loaded BMX-

digital

38-input mainframe.

Test Conditions:

Specificationsare for the basic signal paths,per

channel, with >1 k ohm loads connected to the

analog main outputs.

0 dBu corresponds to an amplitude of 0.775

voltsRMS regardless ofthecircuitimpedance.This

is equivalent to 0 dBm measured into a 600 ohm

circuit for convenient level measurement with

meterscalibratedfor 600ohmcircuits.Noisespeci-

fications are based upon a 22 kHz measurement

bandwidth.The use of a meter with 30 kHz band-

width will result in a noise measurement increase

of approximately 1.7 dB.

Total Harmonic Distortion (THD+N) is mea-

sured at a +18 dBu output level using a swept

signal with a 22 kHz low pass filter.

MeterPanel

The meter panel has five horizontal Stereo Bar-

graphMeters,except forthe BMX

digital

-8,which

has two meters. An alphanumeric display below

each meter identifies the current signal source

(PROGRAM 1,UTILITY 1, etc.).

Four of the meters provide simultaneous level

monitoringof the four Programor the four Utility

bus outputs, as selected by two Session module

buttons. On the BMX

digital

-8, these two Session

module buttons cycle through the four Program

and the four Utility buses to select which bus to

display on the single main meter.

The right-hand meter (Auxiliary)shows the Cue

or Solo bus levels.When neither function is ac-

tive,the meter shows a source selected on the Ses-

sion module (from between the four external in-

puts, the two Sends, the four Utility buses or the

Telco Record output).

The meter display mode (peak hold or non-peak

hold)and the level wherethe peak indicators turn

onare set for each metervia DIP switches on each

meter display board.

On the left end of the meter panel is an ESE-

slaveable 12/24-hour digital clock (on all sizes

except for the BMX

digital

-14). On the right end

there is an event timer that can be controlled

manually, through buttons on the Session mod-

ule, or automatically, through module On reset

commands.

CONNECTOR ACCESS

Module connectors are hidden below the meter

panel, which is hinged on the rear of the main-

frame.Toaccess the connectors,open up the meter

panelbyliftinguponthemiddleofthemeterpanel

while allowing it to pivot rearward to fully extend

the two gas springs.

Caution: Make sure the panel is open all the

way so that it does not accidentally fall shut.

To facilitate initial wiring, the meter panel can

be entirely removed from the mainframe:

1Open up the meter panel fully and unplug

the meter power cable (attached to the rear

panel)andthethree signal cables pluggedinto

the Session module.

2With another person assisting to hold the

meter panel, remove the screw and bushing

thatattacheachgasspringtothemeterpanel.

Lay the gas springs on the mainframe while

working.

3Unlatchthehingesbymoving the release pins

to their unlocked positions and lift the meter

panel up and off the mainframe.

POWERSUPPLY

The 99-1205 power supply requires 2 RU of

rackspacewithintheconsolecabinetry,below and

to the left or right of the supporting countertop.

The 48 Volt Power Supply must be installed so

that the 30 foot power supply cable (90-1709) is

not under any tension when routed through the

cabinet and connected to the mainframe’s rear

panel connectors.

Connecting thePowerSupply

The power supply cable has two connectors:

• A 5-pin connector to supply 48 volt DC

power to the console.

• A 4-pin connector to supply power status

information (Imminent Power Loss) to the

console.

Both connectors must be attached to the back

of the BMX

digital

and to the power supply.

DC GROUNDING NOTE:

Do not

connect

the audio or logic supply

ground wiring to the chassis of the

power supply.

AC GROUNDING NOTE: Do not

defeat the safety ground in any way.

Doing so may provide a potentially

dangerous condition to the operator.

RedundantPowerSupply

To provide redundant console power, two

99-1205 power supplies can be connected to the

console through a 99-1203 48Volt Coupler.

GROUNDING AND SHIELDING

The broadcast facility’s technicalgroundcanbe

connected to the mainframe chassis using the

threaded insert on the rear of the console (shown

in the Power Connections drawing on this page).

Use a 10-32 screw and crimp lug to terminate the

facility’s technical ground wire.

Connect the cable shields at both the console

and the peripheral end when all system compo-

nents share a common ground potential and are

usingisolated groundAC outlets tied individually

back to the main technical ground.

If isolated ground AC outlets are not available,

connect the cable shields at the console end only.

The shields should be floated (left unconnected)

at the peripheral device end. Ensure the periph-

eral devices connect to a clean ground through

their power cords, or through separate ground

wires to the facility’s technical ground.

POWER SUPPLY GROUNDING NOTE:

The PowerSupplychassisconnectstothe

AC mains safety or“U”ground wire.

AUDIOGROUNDNOISES: Buzz pickup is gener-

ally electrostatic—such as capacitive coupling

between an audio line and a power line.To avoid

audio ground noises, do not route audio lines in

the same wireway as anAC power line.

INSTALLING BACKUP BATTERIES

ThreeAA rechargeable NiCad batteries are sup-

plied in the 76-2001Tool Kit.They should NOT

beinstalleduntil the consoleiscompletelyinstalled

and is ready for everyday use.

The batteries supplya“KeepAlive”voltage that

holds each module’s logic state during momen-

tary power outages.They mount in a battery clip

located below the three 12.25" blank panels on

the right end of the console.

WIRE PREPARATION

All BMX

digital

audio and logic wiring termi-

nates in AMP MOD IV receptacle contacts at the

console.Stranded wire of 22 to 26 AWG,with in-

sulation diameters of .040 to .060 inch, can be

used with the AMP MOD IV receptacle contacts.

Follow these steps for audio wire preparation:

1Stripthecableinsulationjacket and foil shield

back 1½" [38.10 mm].

2Remove the foil shield and sleeve the drain

wire with 20 AWG Teflon sleeving. Leave

9/64" [3.57 mm] of the drain wire exposed.

3Cover the cut end of the jacket with 3/4"

[19.05mm]ofheat-shrink tubing.Shrinkthis

tubing,centeredon the jacket cut end,tohold

the drain wire sleeving in place.

4Strip the signal wire insulation back 9/64"

[3.57 mm].

5Crimp the receptacle contact onto the wire

and insulation.

to insulate the shield wiring.

Cabling andWiring

Before installing the console,draw up a facility

wiringplan that lists the console interconnections

withallperipheraldevices.Identifyandcreatetags

for all audio and logic cabling.List each connec-

tion in a master facility wiring logbook to facili-

tate wiring installation, future system wiring

changes,equipment updates,and system trouble-

shooting.

Refer to the module Quick Connection Guides,

on pages 2-16 to 2-57, for information on each

audio and logic connection (including block dia-

grams for each logic interface connector) and on

each module’s setup DIP switches.

REQUIRED CABLES ANDWIRE

The BMX

digital

uses the following types of

cables and wires:

• Analog audio connections require two-

conductor, stranded, insulated, foil-shield

cable using a separate shield drain wire

(equivalenttoBelden8451,9451or8761).

• AES/EBU connections require 110 ohm

two-conductor, stranded, insulated, foil-

shield cable containing a separate shield

drain wire (equivalent to Belden 1800A).

• Logic control cables require stranded, 22

AWG, multiple-conductor, non-shielded,

jacketed cable (equivalent to Belden 9423,

8457 or 9421).The number of conductors

usedisdeterminedbytheapplication.Typi-

cally cables with five and eight wires are

most often used for constructing logic

cables.Even though there are eighteen dis-

tinctsignals on the Logic Interface connec-

tor, only a handful are typically used for

any given application.
