System ID (SYS) – Each transmitter must be assigned a system ID (1-9) that must match the system ID set on the MCU3224 The transmitter will only transmit when it receives a sync pulse and matching system ID from an active system. This will prevent users with transmitters assigned the same channel slot on a different system from interfering if they enter the coverage area. Note: RP timing signals from separate systems must be RF isolated from on…

Serviceable only by Audio- Technica. Contact Audio-Technica for return authorization should service be necessary Studio Broadcast System Page 4 of 13 2. RP32 UWB Receiver Module A two digit display (7 Segment LED) is provided to automatically indicate the receiver channel number when the RP32 is connected via a CAT5 cable to the corresponding output channel of the MCU3224. This display serves as the unit’s power indicator. A visible channel number also indicates that there is a full round-trip connection between the RP and the MCU communications, confirming that the cable, the RP and the corresponding MCU3224 channel are all operating appropriately. Should the user prefer that the LED lights not be illuminated, there is a control option available on the MCU “tools” screen which allows this RP display lights to be turned off. Receiver ID Number Receiver Front View Studio Broadcast System Page 5 of 13 Receiver Rear View RJ45 Connector for Cat5 Cable Connection to the RP32 is via an RJ45 jack on the rear. Once connected via RJ45 and shielded CAT5 cable to an MCU, the RP is operational. There is no power switch, and no further controls necessary. The MCU3224 supplies operating power and control over RP functions/preferences is available via the tools screen of the MCU3224. A choice of 2 mounting threads are available on the rear of the RP32. The inserts mate with either 5/8”-27 thread or ¼”-20 thread adapters. Studio Broadcast System Page 6 of 13 3. Positioning and Set Up 3.1. Positioning When considering where to place RP32 Receiver Modules, it is useful to think of them as “lights” with which you are attempting to cover and entirely fill a space. A rough guideline of coverage pattern is shown below. This guideline is only a starting point. The effects of multipath both to and from the RP32 are very beneficial and create additional paths which “fill in” the coverage area. Although the system will work with only a single RP32 picking up and communicating with a BP24 beltpack, we recommend that you position the RP32s such that you have a minimum of 2 actively receiving the BP24 signal at all times, and preferably a minimum of 3. There is no signal to add, subtract, or interfere, so the more RP32s that communicate with and receive a BP24 the better. Think of it as an up to 32-way digital diversity. All RP32s process all of the possible 24 channels of BP24 transmitters at all times. It does not matter which RP32 picks up a signal or sends a signal. No pairing or other coordination is required. Once power is applied to an RP32, it will automatically begin sending sync pulses to BP24 transmitters (whether or not they are present) and they will look to receive a signal from a BP24 transmitter on the correct TDMA time slot. A note about physical obstacles: Since this system operates in a very high frequency range, the wavelengths are very short. That means that it is possible for them to “pass through” porous materials. Although it is not optimum, it is sometimes possible to place RP32s behind a surface if that surface will still allow the small 6GHz wavelength to pass. A metallic or glass or stone surface is highly reflective and is beneficial for creating supporting multipath, but it will not allow signals to pass through. Studio Broadcast System Page 7 of 13 (drawing not to scale) The red areas indicate a likely direct connection path for a single RP32. It is important to note that there are a number of side lobes (may depend upon placement) and that there is pick up and reception to the rear. The more typically expected active space is indicated via the blue dashed lines. Studio Broadcast System Page 8 of 13 3.2. Matrix Screen - Receiver Measurement The matrix screen allows the user to visualize specific connections between 32 possible receivers and 24 possible transmitters. There are two modes: Receiver Test and Transmitter Test. In the receiver test mode the user selects a source transmitter - blue buttons on the right side of the screen - and the screen on the left indicates the active receivers currently linked to that transmitter. Active receivers which have been plugged into the system are indicated with a blue square; green fill indicates a link to the selected transmitter. It is best if at least 3 RP32s indicate a green “linked” status to a BP24 transmitter at all times. This screen is useful for experimenting with RP32 placement in order to determine the best coverage. Mode Swap Button Σ Mode Select Studio Broadcast System Page 9 of 13 The Σ button is used to view receivers that are connected to ANY active transmitter rather than just a single transmitter. This mode is used to test which receivers are most effective in a given set up, and may also assist in receiver placement. When the user selects the matrix screen, the system will first check for added receivers; without interrupting the operation of the active receivers or the audio output. This gives the user a way to add receivers while the system is in active operation. If the user plugs in a…
