Introduction
At the heart of the T*AP is a sophisticated audio processor, powered by Analog Devices® Sharc DSPs.
These DSPs provide the 10 channel audio processing and monitoring facility.
They are surrounded by several I/O interfaces, audio delay lines and an optional Dolby®decoder and
encoder.
The four AES3id I/Os on the motherboard may be rounded up by a variety of interface modules that can be
installed as an option into the Base Unit’s interface slots.
A comprehensive routing matrix allows almost every signal flow - from inputs to outputs, from and to
Dolby®encoder / decoder, the built in audio delay lines and the audio processor itself.
The routing architecture uses the industry's most advanced event management. Triggered by GPIs, Hot Keys
on the X*AP Remote Panel, internal status information or network based remote control, the T*AP may be
reconfigured from surround to multiple stereo operation on the fly.
Routing paths, the enabling and disabling of audio processing blocks and the setting of processing
parameters can be pre configured by individual presets dedicated to each function block. The content of the
presets can be displayed and edited off line while the device is on air. These presets may either be recalled
on demand by the operator via the GUI, the X*AP Remote Panel Hot Keys or play-out automation systems,
but may also be part of complex scenarios defined by the operator and automatically executed by the event
manager of the device.
The T*AP provides a web based setup GUI and a X*AP Remote Panel that displays status and metering
information and allows user intervention. Due to the complexity of the device, the features of the X*AP
Remote Panel are limited to operating needs.
Junger Audio’s LoudnessLogger is also available as an add on and can be attached by a few simple clicks to
the T*AP so that users can log loudness data as well as display it as a plot on a PC screen in real time.
Completing the feature set of the T*AP is the availability of an SNMP agent, which provides traps and status
polling. As an option, it can also control the internal loudness measurement and the retrieval of
measurement data.
As with most advanced tools, T*AP can be driven in a variety of ways, depending on requirements and ideas
of the user. These can range from the simple and straightforward through to quite complex set ups.
Although this manual explains the functions and general operation of the T*AP, it does not give detailed
scenarios because the operational needs of today’s broadcasters vary so widely between organizations and
their work flows and cover so many different parameters – from ingest to studio operation, from master
control rooms to play-out or even rebroadcast applications.
Junger Audio is more than happy to discuss your particular requirements with you and to convey your ideas
and solutions to other users of the T*AP community.

hardware concept
The T*AP consists of a Base Unit that carries all relevant connectors and a detachable
X*AP Remote Panel both in 19" 1RU format.
The X*AP Remote Panel is powered by POE (Power Over Ethernet) and designed to control multiple
Base Units one at a time.
For a stand alone installation the X*AP Remote Panel may be attached to a dedicated Base Unit by
brackets.
In this case we highly recommend to support the chassis by additional brackets screwed to the rear as shown
above or by metal angles supporting the device from the bottom.
Base Unit front panel view
The front panel of the Base Unit shows 4 status LEDs :
STATUS general representation of the device status. It is a sum display of all relevant
status information
Power 1 status of power supply # 1
Power 2 status of power supply # 2
BYPASS shows if one of the audio processing parts of the T*AP is put into bypass mode

Base Unit rear view
For fail safe operation the Base Unit provides two independent power supplies. These power supplies
operate in load balance. The status of both PS are displayed on the Base Unit front panel as well as on the
X*AP Remote Panel.
STATUS LED shows the status of the device controller
INIT pressing the INIT button briefly will warm start the device controller.
Holding down the button until the STATUS LED flashes 3 times will initialize the
Base Unit to factory default
LAN RJ45 socket for Ethernet connection to a LAN
USB USB 2.0 type B socket to connect the built in USB >> serial converter with an
external PC
ISO-PWR LED lights up if the isolated 5V power supply for GPI /O application is turned on
GPI 25pin Sub-D female connector to interface with the 8 optical isolated general
purpose inputs
GPO 25pin Sub-D female connector to interface with the 8 switch over relay general
purpose outputs
Interface 1 slot to mount one of the optional interface boards (SDI, AES, analog)
Interface 2 slot to mount one of the optional interface boards (SDI, AES, analog)
METADATA IN 9pin Sub-D female connector to receive and send Dolby® serial metadata
METADATA OUT 9pin Sub-D male connector to send Dolby® serial metadata
SYNC IN 75Ohm BNC connector to connect with external sync sources
WCKL-OUT 75Ohm BNC connector to synchronize external devices to the T*AP internal
word clock
AES IN 1/2 – 7/8 AES3id inputs
AES OUT 1/2 – 7/8 AES3id outputs

block diagram
The above schematic shows the principal blocks of the T*AP.
The core of the unit is the 10 channel Audio Processor with 2ch Aux inputs and a 2ch monitor output.
On the motherboard you will find 4x AES3id I/Os which are bridged by relays in case of a power failure.
Two I/O slots which may carry option boards allow for extremely flexible interfacing of the T*AP. I.e. you may
process the audio signals of two independent TV programs.
The unit may also be fitted with Dolby E/D/D+ decoder and encoder. For comprehensive metadata
processing the unit has serial metadata I/O connectors. All metadata functions are centralized in a metadata
Co-processor.
The sync circuit provides all features to integrate the T*AP into digital processing environments. Other
devices may be synchronized by the word clock output of the T*AP.
Beside the option to delay all DSP outputs, the T*AP has 4x 2Ch delay lines that may be routed into any
signal path of the device.
