1. Features

he encoder/decoder Solidyne ADA102 is a stand

alone streaming generator, designed to work as Studio

to ransmitter Link (S L). Encoder works with stereo

audio signals turning it into an MP3 or PCM audio

streaming, under different modes (see specifications).

he coded output is an RJ45 connector compatible with

Ethernet CP/IP networks. ADA102 has analogical audio

inputs (balanced) and digital AES-3 or S/PDIF.

At the other end, an ADA102 set as DECODER convert

the incoming stream (from Internet or microwave link

802.11.x) into analogue audio signal or a digital stereo

AES-3 (S/PDIF compatible), sent to transmitter.

Model ADA102mpx decoder incorporates a third type of

output: Baseband MPX for direct connection to a

broadcasting FM transmitter.

he unit has four relay remotely managed. At the

encoder, four inputs manages four switches on the

decoder, and vice versa.

he USB port lets you connect a pendrive when the

ADA102 works as a decoder. If the incoming streaming

drops by congestion or network failure, the ADA102

Decoder will start to play audio files from USB device

until the connection restored.

he erial port support "gateway". From studios, using

a computer connected to the ADA102 encoder, you can

command a remote device directly connected to the

ADA102 decoder at the transmitter plant, as if the device

was connected directly to the computer on Studio.

Main feature

•Can be set as Encoder or Decoder by settings,

using the WEB Control Panel.

•Generates MP streams at adjustable bit rates

(VBR) from analogue or digital (AES-3)

sources. Compressed audio is not supported

for full-duplex transmissions.

•Generates G.711 (aLaw/uLaw) streams at 8 or

48 KHz sample rate from an analogue source.

•Generates PCM (16 bit) streams from 8 up to

48KHz sample rate from an analogue source.

•Supports Full-duplex for PCM and G.711.

•10/100 Mbit Ethernet connection supports

automatic networ configuration (BOOTP,

DHCP, AutoIP and IPzator) as well as manual

static IP configuration.

•Features SonicIP® announcing the IP address

on power up over the audio outputs.

•Control and configuration using a standard web

browser.

•Remote monitoring using SNMP.

•Remote controllable using HTTP, TCP and

UDP.

•4 inputs to manage 4 switches at the remote

device.

•Serial port gateway.

•In half-duplex the unit automatically recognizes

the audio format of incoming streaming.

•Balanced analogue inputs / outputs.

•Base band MPX output for FM (optional).

•USB Pen Drive for emergency audio. If the

streaming is lost due to networ failure, the

decoder plays from USB device until streaming

restores.

Section 1 Hardware and connections

1.1 General connection diagram

1.2 Rear panel

1.2.1 Power supply

Always CHECK the correct position of the

VOLTAGE SELECTOR (2 /24 V o 1 /13 V,

according to the country)

AC wires do not have to be mixed with audio wires,

especially with analogical ones. Remember that all audio

installation must have a trustworthy grounding. We

recommend accomplishing with the standards - Article

810 of the National Electricity Code (NEC); ANSI/NFPA Nº

70-1984 in USA; IRAM 2379 and 2281-3 in Argentina.

his standard provides information and guidelines for a

consistent grounding.

1.2.2 Audio inputs and outputs

Analog inputs and outputs are electronically balanced.

he inputs are “bridging” type, with impedance greater

than 10 KOhms. he connectors used, as is standard,

are female XLR-3 for the inputs and male for the outputs.

Take pecially care with the pha e.

Use one pair shielded audio cables of good

quality, preferably with double shielding. he

maximum length recommended is 30 mts,

although in special cases it's possible to achieve

100 mts. accepting a little loss at high

frequencies.

he connection of this cables are made as is

standard. See the following table:

Balanced input/output connections:

1 = GND

2 = balanced positive phase (+)

3 = balanced negative phase (-)

Unbalanced connections:

Inputs: Signal = 2; GND = join 1 y 3

Outputs: Signal to pin 2; leave pin-3 unconnected. GND = pin 1

S/PDIF device can connect to AES-3 input/output of

ADA102 using an S/PDIF to AES-3 adapter.

No software setting is needed to enable AES-3. Decoded

audio are always sent to Analog and AES-3 outputs.

1.2. LAN port

Standard Ethernet RJ45 10/100 to connect the unit to a

switch/router to send or receive audio streaming.

1.2.4 USB port

Lets plug in a flash memory storage (Pen Drive) when

the unit works as a decoder, so that in case of loss of

streaming, the decoder switches to the Pen Drive to

continue with the audio playback. USB 1.1 compatible

devices are supported, with the following limitations:

•Only mass storage devices are supported.

•HUB's are not supported (some flash drives have an internal HUB)

•4GB is the maximum capacity. If the flash disk is larger, create a 4

GB partition. Only the first partition is supported.

•First partition mus be FAT16 format.

If your computer does not recognize the pen drive, the

following procedure can help you find the reason:

•Open an Internet browser, enter the ADA1 2 IP address followed

by /status (i.e.: 1 2.168. .11 /status).

•Scroll down until "USB device info"

•Check if "Filesystem type” is "FAT16". If it's "FAT32", reformat the

USB memory as FAT16.

he USB must contain a playlist file named

"playli t.m3u" which determines the order in which

MP3 files are played. his playlist can be created with

the Winamp audio player (www.winamp.com) or any

software that generate .m3u playlist files.

When the USB is puged, ADA1 2 will reboot to detect the

device, so audio output will be muted by few seconds.

1.2.5 Serial port

he serial port is used to command, from the studios, a

device located in the transmitter plant as if it were

directly connected to serial port of the computer at the

Studio. For this ADA102 generates a gateway for

transporting serial data transparently through the

network (see "2.3 - Advanced Settings). he connection

requires a standard RS232 cables.

1.2.6 Remote control

Each unit has four inputs and four outputs for remote

control. Each input can controls a switch off the remote

unit.

Inputs are type “dry inputs”. o enable an input (input

“on”) send it to a GND pin of DB-15.

he output switches 1 and 2 are "open collector" type

(used for example to command external control circuit).

Switches 3 and 4 are mechanical relays that can

manage up to 1 A @ 24 VDC.

DB-15 pin out:

1Input 1 5Switch 1 (open collector)

2Input 2 6Switch 2 (open collector)

3Input 3 7 y 14 Switch 3 Relay, normal open

4Input 4 8 y 15 Switch 4 Relay, normal open

9 a 13 GND

1.2.7 MPX output (optional ADA102mpx)

he model ADA102mpx includes a stereo coder that

generates the FM baseband signal. his output is

connected to an FM transmitter. he MPX cable is a

RG-59 (coaxial 75 ohms), like the used for CA V. he

output connector is BNC. he maximum length

recommended for this cable is 25 m. ake care with the

grounding; although this rarely is cause of problems

because all Solidyne processors have MPX differential

outputs, that is to say, with the ground isolated from the

cabinet, to avoid ground loops. If some residual

humming appears when the system is on the air; power

off ADA102. If the humming disappears, check the

input connections at the decoder. If, however, the

humming continues (and only disappears unplugging

the MPX cable), this indicates some important problem

with the grounding.

When enters to the transmitter through the MPX input,

make sure that the internal pre-emphasis network IS

DISCONNEC ED (that is to say, flat response from 20

Hz to 100 KHz). Contrary, when use an external stereo

coder, make sure that the generator INCLUDES the

pre-emphasis curve. his is due that ADA102 audio

output DOES NO INCLUDE pre-emphasis (only the

MPX output has pre-emphasis).

1.2.8 Reset

Pressing this button restarts the unit. Press and hold for

10 seconds to reload the factory defaults.

If you start your computer holding down the button for 5

seconds, ADA102 starts in “firmware update” mode.

1. .1 Level indicators

ADA102 has two needle-type VU meters that shows the

real peak value of audio signal.

1. .1.1 VU mode Tx/Rx

his button changes the signal that the VU shows.

Tx shows the level of the analogue input. Adjusting the

input level you are adjusting the transmission level. his

is the usual work mode in the Studios.

Rx shows the output level of analogue output and

streaming. his is the usual work mode in the

ransmitter Plant.

Level indicators do not wor with AES-3 signals.

1. .2 SATUS LED's

During the initial boot up sequence the 2 status indicator

LEDs can indicate the following anomalies:

No Application loaded (only bootloader) or started with

hold reset button during power up: he green LED is on

and the red LED blinks.

Application starts (boot-up sequence):

First the red goes on and the green LED blinks once.

hen during the startup the green and red LEDs blink.

During DHCP the red LED blinks with a continuous

cycle . he green LED blinks five times and then pause

four times.

If an error is detected the red led remains on and the

device resets itself after the green LED has indicated the

error as follows:

ERROR Green LED blin s

Corrupt application or IP address conflict five times

The Network hardware could not be initialized or

a Corrupt MAC address three times

In normal conditions:

Green LED Red LED State

OFF BLINKING
