Other characteristics and features.
-
Internal warning signal indicating a failure in one of the power supplies. If a failure occurs, the
“ALARM” LED on the BC2240 controller board will light up.
-
Power feed circuit designed to support hot-swapping operations.
Programming jumpers.
This board has a series of internal programming jumpers (PJ). However, these jumpers are
configured at the factory and, in normal operation, do not need to be changed.
Firmware modules.
At the firmware level, this board is made up of the following modules:
-
PIC microcontroller: manages board communications and start-up.
-
FPGA programmable device: manages the TDM bus and Dante AoIP module
interface.
-
DANTE Brooklyn II module: manages up to 64 AoIP Dante bidirectional audio
channels.
The firmware versions can be brought up to date by using the ”BC2000D Firmware Upgrade”
and “Dante Firmware Update Manager” applications.
BC2214/BC2224 technical specifications.
-
Gain, mute and phase control for all AoIP inputs/outputs.
AoIP Interface:
-
Dante plug and play media networking.
-
Synchronization IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP).
-
Sub millisecond latency with +/- 1 microsecond synchronization.
-
Up to 32x32 (BC2214) or 64x64 (BC2224) redundant bi-directional channels @ 48kHz.
-
Audinate’s patented Glitch-Free Redundancy.
-
The most interoperable networking technology: works seamlessly with any other Dante-
powered device.
-
Network health, clock and audio quality monitoring.
-
Gigabit Ethernet switch chip support.
-
Dante works with standard off-the-shelf network switches - easily integrates into existing
network switch infrastructure, and automatically discovers other Dante-enabled devices on
the network.
-
Firmware upgradeable.
