Overview
The MB-652-DUO Monitoring Bridge is a compact, 2RU audio monitoring bridge for embedded
audio, with AES and analog audio. Designed to meet the demands of broadcast audio monitoring
requirements, the MB-652-DUO is capable of de-embedding up to 16 channels of audio from an
incoming SDI signal. The audio monitoring bridge provides both visual and aural monitoring
with built-in front panel display and speakers.
The 16 digital VU/PPM meters monitor all 16 channels of embedded audio, while an intuitive
control surface allows for easy channel source and mode selection for the built-in speakers. A
meter and numerical display provides loudness measurements according to ITU1770/1771
LKFS. Additional information such as true peak, input signal data and type are also displayed on
screen.
High quality, full-range speakers, along with a high performance class D stereo amplifier, offer
excellent sound quality suitable for any monitoring environment. The front panel also includes a
volume control and a 1/4 inch headphone jack. The rear of the MB-652-DUO provides two SDI
inputs with reclocked SDI outputs, AES and analog audio inputs, and two channels of analog
audio outputs.
Features
The following features come standard on the MB-652-DUO:
• Two 3G/HD/SD SDI inputs
• Two reclocked SDI outputs
• One analog input
• One AES input
• One stereo monitor output
• Left, Right, SUM, Left Total/Right Total (Lt/Rt) downmix modes
• Push to Mute rotary shaft encoder
• High quality 1/4” long-frame headset jack
• 16 VU/PPM bar graph meters

User Interfaces
The MB-652-DUO is intended to be controlled via the DashBoard client software, as well as
through the physical controls on the panel.
DashBoard Control System
The DashBoard client software enables you to monitor and configure the MB-652-DUO from a
computer. The DashBoard software is available for download from our website.
The MB-652-DUO includes three DashBoard interfaces: Network Connect, MB-652-DUO, and
MB-AUX-DUO. These interfaces are accessed by expanding the MB-652-DUO node in the
DashBoard Tree View and selecting the appropriate sub-node. The Network Connect interface
enables you to set up ethernet communications, and monitor those communications. the
MB-AUX-DUO interface shows status of the second SDI input. The MB-652-DUO interface
includes operational controls for the physical panel such as selecting the input source for the
speakers and adjusting the volume level for the speakers.
For More Information on...
• configuring the MB-652-DUO for network communication, refer to the section
“Network Configuration” on page 3-7.
• menus in DashBoard for the MB-652-DUO, refer to the chapter “DashBoard Menus” on
page 4-1.
• installing and using DashBoard, refer to the DashBoard User Manual.
Controls on the Physical Panel
The front panel of the MB-652-DUO provides the ability to monitor the LKFS and true peak
values, the input signal format, and meters that represent VU/PPM data and loudness
measurements. Buttons are provided to route audio sources to the speakers, selecting the
operating mode, and volume control.
The rear panel provides connections for the power supply, BNCs for the SDI inputs and outputs, a
BNC for the AES input, and 3-pin blocks for analog audio in and out.
For More Information on...
• the control and monitoring features of the front panel, refer to the section “Front Panel
Overview” on page 2-3.
• the connections provided on the rear panel, refer to the section “Rear Panel Overview”

Physical Installation
The MB-652-DUO mounts in the rack frame by means of four rack screws fastened through the
front mounting ears. This should normally be sufficient to carry the load, including the weight of
accompanying cables. Note that the MB-652-DUO installs in a standard 19” rack.
Installation Requirements
Keep the following in mind when installing your MB-652-DUO:
• Install the MB-652-DUO for maximum stability during operation and in such a way as to
allow adequate ventilation.
• The MB-652-DUO cannot be sealed in a closed container and must be installed in free air
space where the ambient temperature is monitored and controlled to not exceed 40°C
(104°F).
• Ensure that adequate space exists in front and behind the MB-652-DUO and on both
sides of the frame for airflow.
• The location of the MB-652-DUO should be accessible, dry, and dust-free.
Power Supplies
The MB-652-DUO comes standard with one power supply (PS-MB-650) and one A/C power
cable. A redundant power supply is available as an option. The PS-MB-650 power supply is a
power factor corrected supply, capable of working with all world AC standards (100-240V).
Contact your Ross Video sales representative to order a spare or redundant power supply.
This section includes information for connecting the power cables for the MB-652-DUO.
To connect the power cables for the MB-652-DUO
1. For each power cable, install the provided cable clamp (929-006R) and machine screw
(850-005R) to help retain the power cable connectors to the rear of the MB-652-DUO
chassis. These clamps and screws are included in the shipping container with the
Monitoring Bridge.
2. Connect the DC plug to the power jack located on the rear panel of the MB-652-DUO.
Refer to Figure 2.2 for power connection location.
3. Connect the line cord to the PS-MB-650 power supply.
4. Connect the AC cord to an AC outlet.

Warning Hazardous Voltages — The safe operation of this product’s external
power supply requires that a protective earth connection be provided. This protective
earth is provided by the grounding conductor in the equipment's supply cord. To reduce
the risk of electrical shock to operator and service personnel, this ground conductor must
be connected to an earthed ground.
Warning — In some countries, it may be necessary to supply the correct mains supply
cord. Use only an approved IEC 320 C-13 type A/C line cord rated for a minimum 10A at
250V and certified for the country of use.

Ethernet Cabling for the MB-652-DUO
The exact steps for connecting to your facility via an ethernet network depends on the network
requirements of your facility.
Contact your IT Department before connecting to your facility network to ensure that there are no
conflicts. They will provide you with an appropriate value for the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and
Gateway for the MB-652-DUO.
You will require a standard network CAT-5 cable to connect the MB-652-DUO to your facility
network. Ross Video does not supply this cable.
SDI Cabling
The rear panel includes two SDI IN BNCs and two SDI OUT BNCs.
AES Input Cabling
The rear panel includes one AES IN BNC.
Analog Input Cabling
The MB-652-DUO provides two sets of 3-pin audio terminal blocks each with a removable
connector. Each connector has locations for the positive, negative, and grounded wires of a
balanced audio cable.
