2 Hardware Installation
an undelayed analog broadcast signal. The Diver-
sity Delay is set using the ECC app.
The fourth digital audio connection is a Refer-
ence Monitor output (
Ref Mon Out ) that can feed
a pair of local digital monitor speakers. Its source
(
MPS Audio In , MPS Output, Main Delay In , or
Main Delay Out ) is set by the front panel Monitor
Select button. The front panel headphone jack is
fed with the same monitor audio, but it’s level con-
trolled using the front panel HP Volume down and
up (
) buttons.
2.1.2 CONNECTION SUMMARY
A summary of the HDE-200’s audio, network-
ing, and logic connections is shown below. In ad-
dition to the four AES audio connectors there are:
a loop-thru connector for interfacing two Arbitron
PPM Encoders; three RJ45 Ethernet ports; a USB
2.0 host port; a Remote Logic I-O connector; a
GPS antenna input; and clock outputs used when
an HD Radio Importer and HD Radio Exciter are
co-located with the HDE-200.
There is no dedicated output connector for the
HD Radio main channel signal since it consists of
a 320 kbps data stream (for FM broadcast) which
is routed to the HD Radio Exciter, either directly
or through a digital STL, using UDP or TCP/IP,
though one of the Ethernet ports on the HDE-
200. Three ports are supplied so an HD Radio
Importer, an HD Radio Exciter (or digital STL),
and an admin computer can directly connect to
the HDE-200.
The HDE-200 can, alternately, connect through
a standard LAN switch in order to feed the data
stream to the STL or HD Radio Exciter.

Use of Ext 10 MHz for the Exciter
PLL Sync is recommended for all
installations. Systems with STL
need to use an additional GPS
receiver at the transmitter.
