CA 4588 – Operation

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS – CA 4588 Digital / Analogue Interface

The CA 4588 Digital / Analogue Interface extends the MCS-D conference system with audio inputs and

outputs. The CA 4588 is provided with 3 interface units each with 2 audio inputs (analogue) and 2 audio

outputs (analogue and digital).

You can connect external devices such as wireless microphones or reproducers to the inputs, and to the

outputs you can connect external devices such as recorders, mixing consoles or amplifiers.

The CA 4588 Digital / Analogue Interface is powered via the NetRateBus conference sockets and auto-

matically recognised by the system when connected to the control unit.

The interface units and audio channels are configured via the MCS-D 200 control unit or the iCNS

conference software.

1. Connectors and Indicators

Front view

 Voltage Monitor LED

LED illuminates green to indicate the normal operation status

LED is flashing red to indicate that the supply voltage at the NetRateBus sockets is too low

 Identification LED

LED illuminates green to indicate which of the interface units (1-3) of the CA 4588 is currently

configured

 Holes for 19" rack mounting

 

Rear view

 AES/EBU Out

The AES/EBU connection provides two digital channels according to the AES3 or EBU Tech-3250E

Standard. The configurable audio channels (CH1 and CH2) are transmitted via these XLR sockets

with a fixed level and a sample rate of 48 kHz.

 Analogue inputs and outputs

Two balanced analogue inputs for line level (6 dBu nominal) and two analogue outputs with line

level (6dBu maximal). The signals are transmitted via a 12-pin Phoenix connector.

 NetRateBus sockets for conference bus to connect to the control unit e.g. MCS-D 200

2. Connections

Network connection

• Connect one of the NetRateBus sockets  to the control unit e.g. MCS-D 200.

The CA 4588 Digital/Analogue Interface will be powered by the control unit.

Digital audio connection

• You can connect e.g. digital audio recorders or mixing consoles to the AES/EBU output .

Analogue audio connection

• You can connect e.g. wireless microphones or any reproducer to the analogue inputs of the 12-pin

Phoenix connector .

• You can connect e.g. recorders, mixinig consoles or amplifiers with balanced inputs to the analogue

outputs of the 12-pin Phoenix connector . If you use devices with unbalanced inputs, you must

establish an electrical connection between the “Cold” and “Shield” pins.

3. Configuration

The following settings must be adjusted:

• Set an identification number (logical address) for each of the three interface units

• Assign channels for CH 1/2 IN (inputs) and CH 1/2 OUT (outputs) of the interface units

• Adjust the level of CH 1/2 IN (inputs) and CH 1/2 OUT (outputs)

• Switch on/off the CH 1/2 IN (inputs) and CH 1/2 OUT (outputs)

Warning: Unused DAI inputs must be OFF, to avoid noise!

You can adjust these settings in the DAI/DDI MANAGEMENT menus of the MCS-D 200 control unit or with

the iCNS conference software. For more information, please refer to the appropriate manuals.

MultiSession Management:

Several meetings can be simultaneously controlled by one MCS-D 200 control unit and the iCNS

software. The individual conference rooms are combined to one large group (fig. page 18) or one

large conference room (fig. page 16). For this only software settings are changed.
