Module Description
The IQAES00 digital audio distribution amplifier can receive digital audio from up to 500 m of RG59B cable for
unbalanced inputs, or up to 150 m of AES approved cable for balanced inputs. The unit can be configured to
provide up to 10 reclocked outputs for a single input or up to 5 outputs per input for 2 inputs. Digital audio
sample rates of 32, 44.1, 48 and 96 kHz can be automatically detected, however any input sample rates
between 32 and 96 kHz may be applied.

RollTrack
This function allows information to be sent, via the
RollCall™ network, to other compatible units
connected on the same network.
For example, it can enable compatible audio delay
units to produce an audio delay dependent on this
and other similar units. The audio delay unit will
dynamically follow or track the received delay-time
information. This allows processed video signals to
be timed correctly with audio signals. This
automatic tracking system via the RollCall™
network is call RollTrack .
For more detailed information, see the RollTrack
section (Appendix) at the end of this manual.
RollTrack Index
This item allows up to 16 destinations to be selected.
RollTrack Source
This allows the source of information that triggers the
transmission of data to be selected.

Input 2 96k
Note that SR Unknown means that the sample
rate does not conform to any of the standard
sample rates (32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48k or 96kHz).
The destination for the information is set by the
network code address as follows:
Network Address
This item allows the address of the selected
destination unit to be set.
To change the address, type the new destination
in the text area and then select (return).
(Preset) returns to the default destination
The full RollTrack address has four sets of
numbers
For example: 0000:10:01*99
The first set (0000) is the network segment code
number
The second set (10) is the number identifying the
(enclosure/mainframe) unit.
The third set (01) is the slot number in the unit
The Fourth Set (99)
Each RollCall unit has a unique identification
embedded in the units’ software. In this example
99 represents an IQBAXR, 142 would represent an
IQDAMDD, 255 a TBS100D etc. Inserting this
number in the RollTrack address ensures that only
the correct type of unit (in this example an
IQBAXR) will respond to the RollTrack command;
any other unit will ignore the command.
If this number was set to 00 any type of unit at this
location would respond to the RollTrack command,
possibly causing unpredictable results.

RollTrack (continued)
RollTrack Command
The full RollTrack command has two sets of
numbers
For example: 84*156
The first set (84) is the RollTrack command
number
The second set (156) is the value sent with the
RollTrack command number
Disable All
When this item is checked all RollTrack items will be
disabled.
RollTrack Sending
This item shows when the unit is actively sending
the RollTrack command.
This may show:
Not Used RollTrack destination not in use
String A string value is always being sent.
Number A number value is always being sent.
No The message is not being sent.
Yes The message is being sent.
Internal Inconsistent behavior; please contact
Type Error your local Snell & Wilcox agent.
RollTrack Status
This item will show the status of the currently
selected RollTrack index.
This may show:
OK RollTrack message sent and received
OK.
Unknown Rolltrack message has been sent but
it has not yet completed.
Timeout RollTrack message sent but
acknowledgement not received. This
could be because the destination unit
is not at the location specified.
Error This indicates a broken RollCall state.
Bad This indicates a broken RollCall
packet.

Setup
Mode
These modules can be configured to provide up to
10 reclocked outputs for a single input or up to 5
outputs per input for 2 inputs.
1 Input
When checked all outputs will derive their input
signal from Input 1.
2 Inputs
When checked AES Outputs 1 will derive their
input signal from Input 1 and AES Outputs 2 will
derive their input signal from Input 2.
NonPCM Detect
The non-PCM detector may be set to respond to
the channel status bits as follows :
Test Audio bit
When checked and the Audio bit is found to be set
to non-audio it will be considered as non-PCM.
Test V bit
When checked and this bit is found to be set to 1
(non-valid) it will be considered as non-PCM.
Note that this is an OR function so if both items are
checked and one of the test bits are considered to
be non-PCM, the detector will report the signal as
being non-PCM.
If neither items are checked the detector will be
disabled.
This information will be reported to the logger
(nonPCM) if selected, and sent as a RollTrack
(Input non-PCM) if selected.
Information Window
This will display basic information about the status
of the unit.
Input 1:, Input 2:
This will show the status of the input. It can show:
LOST The input signal has been lost
OK The module is receiving a valid input
signal
Selecting this item sets all adjustment functions
that include a preset facility, to their preset values.
This will reboot the unit simulating a power-down
power-up cycle restoring power-up settings.
Software version
This item shows the version of the software fitted
in the module.
Serial Number
This item shows the serial number of the module
Build Number
This will indicate the factory build number. This
number defines all parameters of the unit (software
versions, build level etc.) for identification
purposes.

Operation from an Active Control Panel
The card may be operated from an active control panel via the RollCall™ network.
All operational parameters and selections are
made using a system of menus displayed in two
LCD windows.
Operational details for the remote control panel
can be found in the Modular System Operator's
Manual.
Information Window
The Information window has four lines of text
indicating the current state of the unit.
Control Window
The Control window displays all Selection Menus
and sub-menus.
The selection is made by pressing the button
adjacent to the required item.
The menu structure is detailed in the following
pages.

MENU DETAILS
(see IQAES00 Menu System on previous pages)
MAIN MENU
The main or top level menu allows various sub-
menus to be selected by pressing the button
adjacent to the required text line.
Note that where a menu item is followed by three
dots (...) this indicates that a further sub-menu may
be selected.
Whenever a menu item is selected the parameters
of that selection will be displayed in the Information
window of the front panel. Where the selection is
purely a mode selection and does not enable a
sub-menu, the text will become reversed (white-
on-black) indicating that the mode is active. If the
mode is not available for selection the text will
remain normal.
Also refer to the block diagram on page 5 for more
information.
