Fiber Receiver and Room Controller: FRC-P100

Description

The Fiber Receiver and Room Controller (FRC-P100) provides a convenient one-box interface solution to support a single display device as part of a complete Savant SmartSystem™. It functions as a fiber receiver and control interface, providing an HDMI output for a single display along with a variety of control ports.The low-profile design of the FRC-P100 allows it to be installed discreetly behind a flat panel display or above a ceiling mounted projector. It connects to the headend or source location via a single multimode fiber strand.The FRC-P100 paired with the Savant VOM-F004 fiber output module enables a fiber length up to 1000 ft using OM3 multi-mode fiber optic cable. FRC-P100 can be linked to any Savant SmartSystem™ containing a Savant host, such as an HST-4001, HST-4002, SVR-4100, or SVR-4100S.FRC-P100 is ideal for use at any remote location in a residence, boardroom, classroom or video walls, providing an HDMI output—for example, for an HD display or projector, along with room control.

Multimedia Display Interface A single HDMI digital A/V output port is provided with the FRC-P100, supporting 1080p60 HDTV and WUXGA computer signals with HDCP, Deep Color, 3D, and HD audio — all through a single connection. The HDMI output can also handle DVI signals using an appropriate adapter or interface cable.A single fiber strand connects the FRC-P100 to any Savant SmartMediaPro Modular Matrix Switcher and Controller configured with a Fiber Output Module (VOM-F004, sold separately), transporting video and audio signals through one single SC type optical connection. Multiple FRC-P100 receivers may be installed to handle multiple displays in a multi-room distribution system, all fed from a central SmartMediaPro series platform.

Feature Summary• Supports fiber length up to 1000 ft (300 m)

• Enables device control using:

- RS-232 Serial ports (2)

- IR Transmitter ports (2)

- GPIO ports (3)

- Relay ports (2)

• Handles HD video with deep color, 3D, and HDCP

• Ethernet 10/100 base-T ports (3)

• Supports Power over Ethernet using the standards: IEEE 802.3af or IEEE 802.3at

• Supports pass-through of High Bit-Rate HD audio formats

• Supports stereo downmix of encoded audio

• Use RacePoint Blueprint™ design tool to configure and customize FRC-P100

Ease of InstallationThe FRC-P100 mounts conveniently to a wall, ceiling, or other flat surface, and can be PoE network powered. At just 1.25 inches high, it fits readily behind a flat panel display or above a ceiling-mounted projector. LED indicators are provided for easy setup and troubleshooting, verifying the status of connections and signal activity at a glance.

3 Relay

Ports 1 and 2 provide dry contacts (open/closed) to control devices requiring basic on/off operation. A single relay port can carry a maximum of 30V DC with a maximum current of 1.0 amps. Input from a device to the Savant controller is not supported through a relay.

4 IR Infrared transmitter output ports are used with IR emitters.

5

GPIO(General Purpose Input and Output) ports are used to trigger an event (output), or detect an input. The COM pin is used for common ground. Pin 1, 2 or 3 are used for input or output.

5

GPIO InputWhen configured as an input, the port detects a voltage present. GPIO inputs can safely detect the presence of a voltage of 0-30V DC with a threshold of approximately 2.4V DC.

5

GPIO Output

When configured as an output, a GPIO port outputs a voltage of either 0V or 11.3V DC. The maximum current per port is 150 milliamps (450 mA total).

NOTE The total amount of GPIO current available at all three GPIO outputs must be limited to 150 mA to meet the IEEE 802.3af PoE standard. If more GPIO current is required, an IEEE 802.3at PoE supply or optional external power supply can be used (Savant model number—PWR-12025-00).

6 RS-232Ports 1 and 2 provide control of external devices via serial binary data communication. Each RS-232 port can be configured with or without flow control (RTS/CTS).

System Design ConsiderationsThe FRC-P100 supports stereo down-mixing of encoded audio of various formats. Down-mixing refers to the process of combining multiple encoded audio channels into a stereo left-right pair of audio signals. This is necessary when the source audio is encoded and two-channel analog audio is required. This is also necessary if the audio playback device does not support encoded audio formats.

The FRC-P100 has an on-board DSP which receives an incoming audio stream and produces a stereo output using the appropriate downmixing equations. The incoming audio is HDMI audio, included in the fiber-optic input.

The down-mixed audio is available at the analog stereo output RCA jacks by default. This down-mixed audio can also be made available to the display in the audio portion of the HDMI data stream. In this way, a display that does not have the capability to decode Dolby or DTS audio can be provided with un-encoded PCM audio. Note that this is an available option; the use of the down-mix feature does not preclude the ability to send encoded audio to the display.

The Audio Return Channel (ARC) is shown in the next figure for completeness, but this feature is not implemented at the video source and is reserved for future use.The TosLink is also reserved for future use.

NOTE Audio downmixing is not available for HD audio formats.
