Chapter 1 Introducing the BD600+

BD600+Profanity Delay Chapter 1 Introduction Page 1

Document Version 2.1

The Eventide BD600+ is designed to enable a broadcast licenseeto prevent obscene and/or libelous material from

being transmitted over the air. It doesthis byautomatically delaying program material byup to 80 seconds, allow-

ing time for a monitoringoperator to decide whether the material being delayed fits into either category.

If objectionable material is heard, electronic circuitry allows all or a portion of thedelayed audio to be "dumped"

and the program resumed without interruption. The delaytimeis increased automaticallyand gradually after the

"dump" occurs. A remote control option allows an external relay to be attached to prevent uncontrolled sources,

such as telephonecallers, from being aired until the delay time is again long enough to provideprotection.

The BD600+ has a number of special functions to make it convenient to use:theWAIT AND EXIT function can

be used to synchronize to a network or livesignal feed, andtheRAMPTO ZERO functioncanbe used to de-

crease the delaytime to zero graduallywhen it is no longer needed for a safetymargin.

This manual discusses the use and operation of the BD600+, the BD600E+ and the BD600W+. All of the func-

tions are presented in detail, which maymake the manual seemsomewhat forbidding. However, the unitis very

simple to use and the apparent complexity portrayed inthis manual is dueto our desireto offer complete and accu-

rate information.

The BD600+ is a development of the popular BD600. It is similar in most ways to its predecessor, themaindiffer-

ences beingthattheBD600+ has considerablybetter audio quality, and aUSB serialport aswell as RS232.

BD600+ Features:

Up to 80 seconds of stereo audio delay

Allows multiple DUMP operations. The

DUMP function may be configured to delete

a portion of delayed audio between 1 and 10

seconds in length

REBUILD (catch-up) provides fast recovery

from a DUMP or SNEEZE while a show is in

progress

RAMP TO ZERO reduces the delay slowly

using the same process as Rebuild

SNEEZE function replaces microphone mute

switch and allows short interruptions to be

unnoticeable

WAIT FOR SAFE function allows starting a

show with a safe amount of delay

WAIT AND EXIT drops from full delay to

zero in real time

PANIC feature dumps all delayed audio and

plays jingle from plug-in card or mutes output

for fixed time while delay rebuilds

Micro Precision Delay mode allows a front

panel selectable delay between 10mS and

10.0 seconds in steps of 1uS. This is useful

for HD audio and other applications requiring

precise audio synchronization

Broadcast delay features can be used for

smooth entry and exit to and from Micro Pre-

cision Delay mode

Large numeric display shows amount of de-

lay

24-bit Analog to Digital and Digital to Ana-

log converters

AES/EBU digital audio input and output

44100 or 48000 samples per second internal

sample rate or set externally by AES or

Wordclock inputs

Front panel configuration and display of au-

dio input and output attenuation

Remote control inputs to trigger SNEEZE and

DUMP or other functions

Outputs to signal safe condition and DUMP

button actuation or other statuses

RS232 remote control

USB remote control

Compact Flash™ card for jingle play back

and software maintenance

Additional BD600W+ Features

Stereo audio output to WheatNet-IP™ network.

Stereo audio input from WheatNet-IP™ network.

16 programmable Logic (control) Inputs from WheatNet-IP™ network to drive internal func-

tions or act as source for delayed outputs.

16 programmable Logic (control) Outputs to WheatNet-IP™ network, configurable to indicate

different timing conditions including status of all processes, bypass mode or a delayed version

of the inputs

Station Break and other Insert operations

Front Panel

See Chapter 2 for in-depth explanation of the following controls, or look up individual terms in the In-

dex.

The front panel buttons have indicator lights which are lit when a function is available, with the excep-

tion of BYPASS, which is always available.

A flashing light indicates that the function is active. Pressing a button when it is flashing will cancel

the function.

The CONFIG button and configuration mode are intended to be used by an authorized operator only

and thus their operation is intentionally less obvious. See Chapter 3 for configuration mode infor-

mation.

Since the BD600+ can serve as a broadcast profanity delay or as a precision fixed delay, many of the

buttons have multiple functions, including navigating the configuration menus (discussed in Chapter

3). Each of the buttons reflects its profanity delay function.

At times during start-up, the display will scroll text giving a question requiring a yes/no answer. At

these times, the WAIT AND EXIT button will flash, indicating “yes” and the REBUILD button will be

lit solidly, indicating “no.” All other buttons will be off. Usually, the “yes” answer is expected.

1) BYPASS Button

Toggles the unit in and out of bypass. While bypassed, the LED flashes and the audio path through the BD600+

is bypassed either electronically or by a relay. Pressing this button while bypassed will take the unit out of by-

pass. This button is also used to exit from configuration mode.

2) Input Status

These LEDs indicate whether the BD600+ is configured for analog or digital input. If the digital input

LED is flashing, it indicates that the unit is not locked to the sample sync input.

3) CONFIG Button

Enters configuration mode.

See Chapter 3 for information on Configuration.

4) Level Meters

Two 10-segment LED bar graphs show audio input levels. These graphs act as meters and may be used

to align the equipment to ensure that appropriate audio levels are presented to the BD600+.

5) PANIC Button

In profanity delay mode, dumps the entire delay, and either plays a jingle from the card or mutes the

output for a configurable period. During this process the delay is filled in real time.

See More Information on the PANIC feature on page 17

6) WAIT FOR SAFE Button

In profanity delay mode only, initiates or cancels the wait for safe mode, which is used to start a show

with a safe amount of delay.

7) WAIT AND EXIT Button

In profanity delay mode only, initiates or cancels the wait and exit process, which exits quickly from

delay.

8) REBUILD Button

In profanity delay or precision delay mode, starts or stops rebuilding the delay. In precision delay con-

figuration mode, decrements the current delay amount digit.

9) RAMP TO ZERO Button

In profanity delay or precision delay mode, instructs the unit to start or stop ramping toward 0.00 de-

lay. In precision delay configuration mode, this button increments the current delay amount digit.

10)SNEEZE Button

This button is used to cut off microphone audio. If delay is greater than 0.00, the unit will reduce the

delay while SNEEZE is held. In configuration mode, this button sets an individual value back to fac-

tory defaults.

11)Delay Amount Bar Graph

This 15-segment LED bar graph indicates current delay as a fraction of maximum delay or, in preci-

sion delay configuration mode, indicates which digit of the delay value is selected. This display is also

used for visual cues during configuration mode. The right-hand segment also flashes to indicate card

and serial remote control activity.

12)4-Character Display

The 4-character LED shows delay amount values, text information, and configurable parameter values.

13) Card slot

A Compact Flash card (of the type often used for digital cameras) may be used to store jingles for play

back during PANIC operation or as Station Breaks (BD600E+ or BD600W+only), and also for soft-

ware maintenance.

14)DUMP Button

In profanity delay or precision delay mode, deletes a segment of audio in order to stop an undesirable

audio segment from being transmitted. This button is illuminated when the unit is in profanity delay

mode and the amount of delay meets or exceeds a preset safe amount. It is illuminated in precision de-

lay mode when the delay is at the configured amount. In precision delay configuration mode, this but-

ton sets the delay to the minimum amount.

1) AC Power

IEC standard 3-prong connector. The center

post is chassis ground. When power is not con-

nected, the unit is bypassed - the analog and

digital inputs are connected to their respective

outputs through a relay.

2) Power Switch

This controls the AC power into the BD600+.

When the power switch is off, the unit is by-

passed, as described above.

3) USB Lamp

This is a standard USB connector into which a

USB-powered lamp may be connected to en-

hance rear panel visibility in enclosed spaces.

It supplies power only and cannot be used for

USB communications.

4) Basic Remote Connector

The BD600+ has a standard remote con-

trol/signaling output. This allows remote-ing

of the dump and sneeze functions and output

of safe status.

These functions can be changed in configura-

tion mode.

See page 34 to configure the Basic Remote.

5) Wordclock in

An external Wordclock signal may be used as a

sample clock source. A Wordclock signal will

usually offer a more stable clock source than

that supplied by an AES/EBU signal.

See page 9 to use Wordclock

6) Wordclock out

The BD600+ outputs a Wordclock signal of its

current sample clock –this may be used to syn-

chronize other equipment to it.

7) RS232 Control Connector

This is a female 9-pin DB9 connector supplied

to connect a remote computer or terminal. The

remote computer or terminal can control all

functions of the BD600+ including configura-

tion. This connector is only functional if there

is no USB connection.

See page 41 for information on RS232 remote control.

This connector may also be used for software

maintenance purposes.

Digital Audio Inputs and Outputs

These are XLR differential AES/EBU connec-

tions for stereo input and output channels.

8) AES/EBU in

9) AES/EBU out

Use these connectors to connect professional

digital audio equipment to the BD600+. The

cables should be differential with a shielded

twisted pair.

See page 9 to configure the BD600+ to use AES/EBU.

Analog Audio Inputs and Outputs

These are XLR differential audio connections

for two input channels and two output chan-

nels.

Remote and other Connectors

14)Delayed RS232 in

15)Delayed RS232 out

These are 9 pin DB9 connectors where the in-

put is delayed by the amount of the delay and

fed to the output, usually to drive a clock indi-

cator showing the time of the delayed mate-

rial. They can also be used to delay RS232

control signals.

16)Activity Indication

These LEDs will flash when there is a change

of state on the adjacent inputs.

17)General Remote Input

This DB25 female connector has 16 bipolar

optoisolated inputs which can be individually

programmed for use to either control BD600+

functions or to feed the corresponding General

Remote Output.

See page 36 to configure these inputs.

18)General Remote Output

This DB25 male connector has 16 open col-

lector outputs which may be individually pro-

grammed to supply BD600+ status or a de-

layed version of the corresponding input.

19)Network Connector

This is a Gigabit Ethernet connector for con-

nection to the WheatNet IP network.

20)USB

This connector looks like a serial port when

connected to a computer. It can be used for re-

mote control and updating. Note that connect-

ing this port to a computer disables the RS232

port –only one of them can be used at a time.

A device driver must be installed to use this

with Windows 7.
