RIEDEL FBI+CIA - Manual

FBI/CIA
Riedel offers two universal interfaces, the FBI Fiber
Interface and the CIA Coax Interface Adapter for the
transmission of panel port audio/data for the Artist
intercom panels and AES/EBU signals.
The FBI converts an Artist panel port from CAT5 to fiber
in a bi-directional way providing long distance operation
of Artist control panels.
As the unit offers both connectors, for the matrix and
for the panel it can be inserted on either side.
The interface may also be used for the bidirectional
transmission of an AES/EBU signal.
Distances up to 2,000 meters can be realized using a
dual multimode fiber.
The CIA interface converts an Artist panel port from
CAT5 to 75Ω Coax and vice versa.
Since Artist control panels provide both CAT5 and
Coax interfaces for connection to the matrix, CIA can
be used to adapt an Artist matrix port to the existing
infrastructure, especially useful for OB-vans and mobile
applications.
Distances up to 350 meters can be realized using
0.8/4.9 video cable.
The CIA and FBI Interfaces are powered by external wall
wart power supplies.
Both interfaces may be combined in mixed installations.
Various applications are shown in the schematics
below.
