Overview

Thank you for purchasing this Bluebell Opticom professional broadcast video product. If you

are new to Bluebell products, or to the subject of transmitting video and/or other types of signal

over bre links, please take the time to read through this document before putting the system

to use.

Introduction

The BC100i is a 19”, 3RU frame for the Bluebell Opticom BC Series of modular bre interfaces.

BC Series cards are designed primarily for Outside Broadcast (OB) and studio applications,

and the very extensive range includes single-channel, two-channel and four-channel bre-

optic interfaces for SDI video (all current formats), audio, Ethernet data and serial control data.

The BC100i can hold 15 BC Series cards of any type: thus up to 60 separate signals can be

transmitted/received over bre optic links from the frame.

The BC100i is an evolution of the BC100 frame, and incorporates greatly enhanced monitoring

functions. The front panel is tted with a 7” colour touchscreen, which displays the status

of each card in the frame, and also various global parameters. There is no menu system to

navigate and most information is available within a single touch.

Physical format

The BC100i accepts up to 15 single-slot BC Series cards: any combination of card types is

permitted, and there are no restrictions regarding slot allocation. A 16th slot is reserved for

an optional BM102i or BM103 network monitoring card. The card slots are at the rear of the

frame, so that all signal connections – bre and copper – can be kept within the 19” rack in

which the frame is tted.

The frame includes dual modular power supplies (PSUs) mounted in the front of the frame.

The frame depth is 250 mm. To allow for cables and connectors at the rear, installers should

ensure that rack depth greater than this is available.

Ventilation

The standard BC100i frame is not force cooled. It is recommended that some vertical spacing

is left between adjacent rack-mounting units to allow for natural convection: this is particularly

important if the rack includes equipment which generate a signicant amount of heat (e.g.,

audio ampliers).

The temperature of a fully-loaded frame can rise to approx. 20 ºC above ambient, i.e., typically

45 ºC. An optional internal low-speed fan assembly may be specied at the time of order; when

this is tted, the temperature rise is limited to about 10 ºC above ambient i.e., about 35 ºC.

Ref: BC100i Operations Guide v1 5

Power requirements

The frame is supplied with two modular PS100i Power Supply Units (PSUs) rated at 100 W

each. The PSUs are wired for fully redundant operation, and have independent rear panel IEC

connectors. The PS100i is a “universal” type and will operate on any AC mains supply voltage

from 90 to 253 V, 47 to 63 Hz.

The DC outputs are distributed internally via the motherboard to all card slots using current-

sharing: there is no interruption to frame operation in the unlikely event of a PSU failing. Each

PSU can power a fully-loaded rack, regardless of card type mix.

Each of the two IEC connectors has an integral fuseholder. The fuse compartment below the

connector has a second holder for a spare fuse. Note that the active fuse is the one on the

left. The fuse data is given in the table below: always replace a blown fuse with one of exactly

the same type. If the replacement fuse blows immediately on switch-on, the PSU is faulty and

should be removed for repair.

Fuse type T5A 250V

Fuse rating 5 A

Fuse size (l x dia.) 20 mm x 5mm

The power supply modules plug in at the front of the frame and are secured in place by two

captive screws at the top of the module panel. They are hot-swappable. A green POWER OK

LED conrms correct PSU operation.

1. Display – 7” colour touch-sensitive LCD. The home page shows a status overview of all 15

card slots; further pages give further details of each card and its SFP(s), the BC100i PSU

status and a network card (if tted).

2. PSU 1 - PS100i modular power supply.

3. PSU 2 - PS100i modular power supply. The two PSUs form a dual redundant pair.

4. POWER OK – two green LEDs, illuminate when the associated PSU is operating normally.

5. Reset button – resets the BC100i’s internal microprocessor controlling the frame

monitoring functions and display. Pressing this button will also update the frame’s rmware

if a USB memory device with the new rmware is plugged into the USB port [5]. Use a small

screwdriver (or similar) to press the internal tac button.

6. USB port – Type A USB connector for updating BC100i rmware.

System Monitoring

The BC100i incorporates a sophisticated, microprocessor-based monitoring system. All BC

Series cards are able to report information about their type and status to the frame: this data is

available for display on the front panel touchscreen.

The BC100i display has eight pages:

• Home page (the default page on power-up)

• Frame page

• Frame Settings page

• PSU Information page

• Card info page

• SFP page

• Card specic parameters page

• Network Card page

Home page

4 5 6

The main area of the Home page is the frame Overview, which shows the primary status of each

card installed in the frame.

1. The Overview area has been designed to mimic the LED status array tted to the front

panel of the Bluebell BC100 frame. Each of the 15 card slots is represented by a coloured

rectangle containing two bicolour “virtual LEDs”.

In each slot:

• Blue rectangle – card present

• Black rectangle – no card detected

• Green LED – valid signal detected, or no channel present on card (applicable only to

certain single-channel cards)

• Red LED – no valid signal detected

Ref: BC100i Operations Guide v1 9

The red and green LEDs give a general “go/no-go” indication of the status of each channel (A

and B) on each card, but the precise method of status monitoring determining the LED colour

varies considerably from card to card. Please refer to the Operation Guide for each type of card

in use for full details of how the status indication is derived.

Touch a blue rectangle to navigate to the Card Info page for the card tted to that slot.

2. Each card installed reports its identity to the frame monitoring system: the type is displayed

below the slot number. (The odd-even offset of card idents is purely for reasons of legibility.)

NOTE: a few older types of BC Series cards do not report their identities.

3. The Home Page includes basic information about the BC100i frame’s operation and

status: temperature and output voltage of each PSU, temperature of the frame itself

and time since the last reset or power-up (whichever was more recent). The Frame page

repeats and expands on this data.

4. Unit rmware date.

5. Press the Frame button to navigate to the Frame page.

6. If a Network Card is tted to Slot 16, this button will display BM102i or BM103 according

to card type. Press to navigate to the Network Card page. If no Network Card is tted, the

button displays Network.

7. Press the Settings button to navigate to the Settings page.

Frame page

The Frame page displays more detailed information about the BC100i frame itself.

4. S/N eeprom detected – conrms the detection of the frame’s Serial Number EEPROM.

(Included for assistance in fault-nding).

5. Power Supply status – conrms the correct operation of each of the frame’s two PSUs.

Frame Specic Parameters

6. Last reset – displays the elapsed time since the last BC100i frame microprocessor was

reset, either by the front panel Reset button or by power-cycling. The time format is in days,

hours, minutes and seconds.

7. Fan status – if a fan assembly is tted, this will display ok or fail, indicating its correct

operation. If the BC100i frame does not have a fan assembly, this eld will display Not

tted.

8. Frame temperature and Temperature status – display the actual internal frame

temperature and a status report about the temperature relative to the frame’s permitted

operating range, as follows:

Temperature status Meaning

Too low <= 0 °C

Low <= 5 °C

Ok > 5 °C to 60 °C

High > 60 °C

Too high > =70 °C

9. PSU1 data – the PSU’s DC output voltage and internal temperature are displayed, together

with a status comment for each.

10. PSU data – as [9] above, for PSU2.

11. Press the PSU1 or PSU2 buttons to open the Power Supply Information page for each

PSU. These buttons are colour-coded: green indicates the PSU is operating normally, red
