Bit Synchronizers

Model 2430AD 40 Mbps PCM Bit Synchronizer2430D BLK

Acroamatics’ Model 2430AD is a “drop in” replacement for all previous 2430 family 2u rackmount single and dual stream PCM bit synchronizer units. The 2430D provides a new signal I/O interface which allows a wide variety of standard unit input and output configurations to be offered at the time of order, making any rear panel connector assignable as to type, signal function and termination. The Model 2430AD is based on an entirely new “best in class” advanced 3rd generation digital bit sync design, yet remains a “drop-in” compatible replacement for previous generations. It is literally a “drop-in” upgrade for any standard 2u rackmount bit sync, while delivering state-of-the-art 40 Mbps rate capabilities and significant BER, acquisition, and signal retention performance improvements. The 2430AD is configured with either one or two channels, and for higher count bit sync applications the Model 2950P 4u system supports configuration of up to sixteen (16) – with same performance as the Model 2430AD.

Standard options include Viterbi convolutional encode/decode, Frame Sync Pattern Lock/Bit Error Rate Test, dual and quad stream live data best source select/ambiguity resolution. Equipped with a 4.9″ high brightness color LCD display, the Model 2430AD delivers simple and precise menu driven front panel operator set-up control, system, and signal quality status feedback. Remote monitoring and programming is supported via provided Ethernet and Serial RS-232 interface. Set-up storage and recall is provided at the user’s option, either locally, or via remote networked host, or both.

Windows Remote Bit Synchronizer GUI Operating Software is provided with each Model 2430AD to remotely program and operate up to 64 individual bit sync channels over a network. The same software also supports operation of all present and legacy model bit sync products – whether in multi-stream units, standalone PCI card installations, or bit syncs installed with decoms in remote Telemetry Data Processing (TDP) systems.
