Introduction
The CDS-300 Composite Switcher/Distribution System is intended to be used in conjunction
with suitable FM or TV stereo generators and/or composite STLS, SCA and SAP generators for
the purpose of switching between two composite sources and distributing these signals to main
and back up exciters and provides a front panel test point. This is done with a high degree of
isolation so that equipment can be interfaced easily. The typical configuration for the CDS-300 is
to distribute a composite stereo signal to a main and back up exciter. The same can be done with
virtually any signal applied to a modern broadcast exciter. The CDS-300 incorporates a loop
through of the input signal so that the composite source selected can be routed to a suitable RDS
generator for pilot lock and RDS injection. The CDS-300 also has an auxiliary port for the addition
of optional modules that can perform various conversions of the input signals. The following is a
list of the modules available and their functions.
1.
AES3C module, AES Digital Input to Stereo composite output. This module accepts an
AES3 digital input and converts it to a stereo composite waveform which is then routed to
the B input of the switcher
2. LRC module, Left/Right analog in to composite output. This module accepts a left and
right analog signal and converts them into a composite stereo waveform which is routed
to the B input of the switcher
3. CLR module, Left/Right Output stereo decoder. This module accepts the output of the
A/B switcher and decodes the composite signal back to left and right. The output is
available at the rear of the unit.
For pricing and availability of these modules, contact your local broadcast equipment dealer.
A. Unpacking and Inspection
Carefully unpack the unit after receipt and inspect for damage that may have occurred during
shipping. If damage is noted, contact the shipper immediately and file a damage claim. The
contents of the package have been insured to cover total replacement cost. Make certain that the
package contents are the same as noted on the packing slip. If not, contact Broadcast Devices,
Inc. Check to make sure all mechanical parts are secure. Units are delivered from the factory
configured for 120 volts A.C. 60 Hz. Operation. Check to make sure that the power source is
correct for proper operation. Units are field configurable for 240 Volt operation. See initial
configuration section of part III, installation section for different power configuration.
B. General Description
A suitable composite stereo, S.C.A., R.B.D.S., or S.A.P. signal can be applied to the input
connectors of the CDS-300. As supplied from the factory, the unit is configured to accept a
balanced 10Kohm bridging input. If it is desired to unbalance or terminate the input see initial
configuration under part III, installation instructions. All three rear panel outputs of the DA are
configured to drive a 50-ohm cable.
Adjustments for individual output level can be accomplished from the front panel. Power
indication is also provided on the front panel.

III. Installation
A. Initial Configuration
Before installing the unit it is a good idea to decide whether or not the unit will operate balanced
or unbalanced and/or bridging or terminated at its input. Generally, to avoid ground loops
between equipment it is advisable to operate the unit in the balanced configuration. If for some
reason it is desired to operate the unit unbalanced or to terminate the input to 50 ohms, locate
the rear panel four position DIP switch. Push the switch section marked terminate down. If
unbalanced inputs are desired, push the switch position marked unbalanced down. The other two
switch positions have no function on this unit.
The unit as configured from the factory is set to accept 120 Volts A.C. 60 Hertz electrical power.
To change the power setting, first remove the power cord from the power entry connector. Slide
the plastic cover to the left and with a pair of long nosed pliers carefully remove the power select
p.c. board from the power entry module. Select the desired power configuration by placing the
power entry p.c. board back into the module so that the desired power setting can be read from
left to right.
B. Location and Hookup Considerations
Locate the CDS-300 in a 19-inch E.I.A. standard rack enclosure in close proximity to the
equipment that it is going to interface between. Allow sufficient airflow space between equipment
to allow for proper cooling. It is important that the cables being fed from composite sources such
as stereo generators and STL receivers be kept as short as is practical. The CDS-300 can drive
lines as long as 25 feet with no degradation of signals. It is advisable to keep all cable lengths as
short as possible to prevent stray R.F. pick up.
C. Composite Connections and Adjustments
Make all desired input and output connections to your external equipment. Make sure that the
CDS-300 is plugged in to a properly grounded A.C. receptacle. If possible, interrupt the audio
feeding the CDS-300 and measure the signal to noise ratio with a suitable voltmeter. If the noise
measurement obtained is acceptable you can proceed to the final adjustment of the unit. If the
noise is high there may be stray R.F. pick up or a ground loop. It is a good idea to listen to the
system with a suitable audio monitor to determine the source of the noise. Hum is a common
noise present. If hum is present, start by removing one cable at a time to determine the source of
the ground loop. If the hum disappears or changes level when a cable is disconnected, a loop
exists between the CDS-300 and the equipment at the other end of the cable removed. This will
5
generally not happen with an input unless the unit has been configured for unbalanced operation.
If this is the case, try the balanced input mode of operation. If a ground loop is present between
the CDS-300 and an exciter or STL, feed the CDS-300 to a balanced input. Most modern exciters
accommodate balanced cables.
As shipped from the factory, the CDS-300 is adjusted to produce unity gain from input to output.
It may be necessary to adjust levels as some exciters can require slightly different levels to
produce 100% modulation. Simply adjust the front panel controls for suitable modulation on each
exciter.
D. Remote Control/Status Connection
Refer to the table below for remote control and status connections. The CDS-300 requires a
momentary ground closure for switching operation. The CDS-300 can accept an open collector
output for this purpose or a simple relay closure will actuate a switching function. Status provided
is a set of dry contacts offering NO/C/NC connection to remote control equipment.

Pin 2 Error Status Common
Pin 3 Select B Input
Pin 4 Select A Input
Pin 5 Error Reset
Pin 6 Input Status Common
Pin 7 Input Status B NO
Pin 8 Input Status A NO
Pin 9 Ground
Momentary connection between pins 3,4 and Ground pin 9 activates switching function remotely.
