INTRODUCTION Thank you for your purchase of the ISP Technologies High Definition Distributed System BRC1 CONTROL MODULE. This product provides a new level of performance in distributed audio systems allowing greater system flexibility and easy installation of distributed sound. All outputs and control connections are made via Cat5 RJ45 connections making installation of systems faster and easier using the BRC1 Control Module.
OPERATION The HDDS BRC1 Control Module is used as a control module for distributed sound systems using the HDDS technology. The BRC1 Control Module provides a single stereo zone designed to be used as a stand-alone distributed sound system. The simplified block diagram below shows the basic configuration of the BRC1 Control Module.
Front Panel Controls 1. 2. 3. 4. 1/8 inch RTS Input Jack Master Level Control Power LED Remote Level RJ45 Port Rear Panel 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Principles of the Master Control Module operation: The HDDS BRC1 allows connection of a stereo source via the rear panel Left / Right RCA input connector. A second input on the front panel allows connection for any external 1/8 inch RTS jack for connection to an IPOD, mp3 player or Computer Audio connections. When a jack is plugged into the 1/8 connector on the front panel it will defeat any audio connected to the rear stereo RCA connectors on the back panel.
Cat5 Connections The figure below shows the connections for the Left and Right outputs. Connections are done via standard Cat5 cables where pins 1 through 8 are connected common to the same pins 1 through 8 at each end. As shown below two wires in the Cable are used for balanced audio and 6 wires are used for power with two providing ground and two for each of two 22VAC power signals fed down the cable.
