Electromagnetic Radiation Notice

The following information is given to note compliance with the United States Government Federal Communications

Commission (FCC) Rules (47 CFR Part 15) designed to limit interference to radio and TV reception. The ruling establishes

measurement procedures and frequency criteria for Class A computing devices (commercial and industrial applications) with

the following conduction and radiation limits:

CLASS A COMPUTING DEVICE: CONDUCTION LIMIT (Part 15.812)

Frequency (MHz) Maximum RF Line Voltage (uV)

0.45 - 1.6 1000

1.6 - 30 3000

CLASS A COMPUTING DEVICE: RADIATION LIMIT (Section 15.810)

Frequency (MHz) Distance (meters) Field Strength (uV/m)

30 - 88 30 30

88 - 216 30 50

216 - 1000 30 70

The policy of Thomson is one of continual development and improvement. For that reason Thomson uses components and

manufacturing techniques that provide the current state-of-the-art suppression of electromagnetic radiation. This equipment, in

production before October 1, 1981, has not been tested to the above listed measurements. However, equipment such as this

delivered after October 1, 1983 will have the measurements on record at the factory. Therefore, in compliance with the stated

FCC Regulation, the following information is provided for the user:

NOTE

Interference to Radio Communications

This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and if not installed and used

in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause interference to radio communications. As

temporarily permitted by regulation it has not been tested for compliance with the limits for Class A

computing devices pursuant to Subpart J of of Part 15 of FCC Rules, which are designed to provide

reasonable protection against such interference. Operation of this equipment in a residential area

is likely to cause interference in which case the user at his own expense will be required to take

whatever measures may be required to correct the interference.

BDS-0808 Rev. 2

1 General

The BDS-0808 is a 8x8 serial digital video router with vertical interval switching. This state of the art

router provides maximum quality with a data rate of up to 360Mbit/s and automatic cable equalizing on

all inputs. High performance circuits in SMD technology assure undiminished signal quality. The

BDS-0808 is well suited for all demanding routing tasks in digital studio and broadcast environments.

The built-in RS-232 interface allows the user to control the router via the Triton Router Control System

software with many operational features. The control bus technology allows linking the unit with the

BAS-0808 or BES-0808 to create an AFV router. One or several Triton remote control panels can control

the BDS-0808 as well. Another unique feature of the Triton 8x8 series is the possibility to reconfigure the

router via the configuration switch on the back plane to create several formats of routers:

8x8 Serial Digital Video 1 layer

4x4 Serial Digital Video 2 layer

2x2 Serial Digital Video 4 layer

2 Power connection

Do not connect mains to the desktop power supply before connecting the power supply to the

router.

Connect the DB9 female connector from the desktop power supply to the main unit. Tighten the screws to

assure a proper contact. To connect mains to the desktop power supply you need a mains cord with IEC

320 connector.

The BDS-0808 is normally delivered with the desktop power model AC ±5V / 30W. Upon customer

request, BDS-0808 can also be delivered with DC ±5V / 30W, which may be fed by a 36 – 72 VDC

mains power source. A Frame mounted power supply solution is also available.

Please refer to the latest Triton Product Catalogue for power supply types, or call Thomson Grass Valley

for this information.

If any third party power supply is used the BDS-0808 router requires +5V DC with a minimum current of

1.0A. The following pin-out is used on the DB9 male power connector:

Pin 1 0V

Pin 2 +5V

3 Connecting the BDS-0808 to your PC

For connection to a PC with Triton Router Control System, the RS-232 interface is used. The RS-232 port

on all Triton devices uses the standard DCE pin-out, see pin-out table under 4.3.

A standard modem cable can be used for connecting the router to the PCs serial port.

3.1 Selection of router level

The router level depends on the system configuration the router is going to work with. See chapter 5 for

more information. All routers are delivered with default level 1. Triton Router Control System offers the

control of up to 16 different routers or combinations of routers.

3.2 Pin-out of RS-232 connector

The DB9 female connector for the RS-232 port has the following pin-out:

Pin 2 Tx

Pin3 Rx

Pin 5 GND

3.3 Maximum cable length

The maximum cable length for an RS-232 connection is per definition 15m. Longer distances can be

installed depending on the environmental conditions of the installation site. It is the responsibility of the

installer / user to secure a proper installation of the RS-232 connection.
