The Broadcast Tools SS 2.1/BNC III passively switches or routes a variety of electrical signals to a single destination. The SS 2.1/BNC III selects any one of two inputs to dual outputs through 75-ohm resistors (removable). The SS 2.1/BNC III provides PASSIVE switching through gold contact relays. The passive switching means that the unit can route a signal in either direction. Due to the passive nature of the switching, any input level and impedance can be used. Inputs may be balanced or unbalanced, while output levels, impedance, distortion, noise and balancing will match that of the selected input. In addition to the normal use with composite audio signals, the unit can also be used to switch analog or digital video signals and AES/EBU digital signals.
Features/Benefits
Operational control by front panel switches with LED indicators, contact closures, 5-volt TTL/CMOS logic levels and/or the multi-drop RS-232 serial port.
BNC connectors for I/O.
Removable screw terminals (Euro) are provided for remote control connections.
Audio switching via sealed relays utilizing 2-form-C bifurcated - crossbar silver alloy with gold overlay contacts.
Logic functions via microprocessor and non-volatile memory.
The power-up feature allows the user to select which one source is active at power up, including the last source selected.
Three logic-switching modes, interlock, sustained or toggle.
Configuration via dip switches.
The \"ENABLE\" switch provides a safety lock to the front panel source selection switches.
The audio \"MUTE\" switch allows the user to turn off the audio output when activated.
Source number one is configured to route audio to the output in the case of loss of power to the unit.
Non-selected sources are terminated with 10K ohms load resistors.
Relays provided for remote status.
The SS 2.1/BNC III may be set on a desktop, mounted on a wall or as part of the new RA-1, \"Rack-Able\" mounting shelf.
Optional RA-1 rack shelf for mounting up to three units in 1-RU.
Applications
Composite audio switching, analog or digital video switching and AES/EBU digital switching.
