Telecast TNR-BP-AA-RX8 8-ch line level analog OUT XLR3 male - TNR-BP-AA-RX8



Thunder is the newest generation high-volume audio/data/intercom transport link from Grass Valley. Thunder transports up to 80 audio, intercom or data paths, configurable in 8-path groups (10 groups total), all on one or two strands of fiber, at the lowest price and most compact size ever available. Simply equip the compact 1 RU frame with the appropriate Thunder Bolt I/O cards to create a fiber optic link that can solve virtually any audio/intercom/data connectivity situation in the teleproduction environment, buying only the components you need.

Key Features


  • 40 km (24.85 mi.) range (20 dB link budget) on one or two single-mode fiber strands

  • Up to 80 audio or 40 data paths, configurable in 8/4-path groups (10 groups total)

  • Superior audio quality

  • 1 RU Thunder main chassis plus 1 RU and 1.5 RU breakout panels

  • 8 or 16 channels per breakout panel

  • 1 RU Thunder main chassis also provides two additional bidirectional channels of multiformat data (RS-232/422/485), one channel of GPI and a BNC input connector for synchronizing AES audio output cards in the Thunder chassis to house clock timing

  • Breakout panels can be mounted in front or behind the Thunder main chassis, and interconnected with DB-25 cables (supporting 8 channels each)

  • Optional redundant fiber IN and OUT ports, both

  • Integral optical power monitoring for local and remote signal strength

  • Input bias current: ±600 μA maximum

  • Input impedance: 33 kΩ ±5% (For data rates ≥20 kb/s and/or multi-drop applications with longer cable lengths, an external 110Ω resistor is recommended across the “+” and “–” data inputs of the unit furthest from the driving source to properly terminate the line. This will minimize random bit errors induced by cable reflections.)
