Overview
Thank you for purchasing this Bluebell Opticom professional broadcast video product. If you
are new to Bluebell products, or to the subject of transmitting video and/or other types of signal
over bre links, please take the time to read through this document before putting the system
to use.
Introduction
The BC100i is a 19”, 3RU frame for the Bluebell Opticom BC Series of modular bre interfaces.
BC Series cards are designed primarily for Outside Broadcast (OB) and studio applications,
and the very extensive range includes single-channel, two-channel and four-channel bre-
optic interfaces for SDI video (all current formats), audio, Ethernet data and serial control data.
The BC100i can hold 15 BC Series cards of any type: thus up to 60 separate signals can be
transmitted/received over bre optic links from the frame.
The BC100i is an evolution of the BC100 frame, and incorporates greatly enhanced monitoring
functions. The front panel is tted with a 7” colour touchscreen, which displays the status
of each card in the frame, and also various global parameters. There is no menu system to
navigate and most information is available within a single touch.
Physical format
The BC100i accepts up to 15 single-slot BC Series cards: any combination of card types is
permitted, and there are no restrictions regarding slot allocation. A 16th slot is reserved for
an optional BM102i or BM103 network monitoring card. The card slots are at the rear of the
frame, so that all signal connections – bre and copper – can be kept within the 19” rack in
which the frame is tted.
The frame includes dual modular power supplies (PSUs) mounted in the front of the frame.
The frame depth is 250 mm. To allow for cables and connectors at the rear, installers should
ensure that rack depth greater than this is available.
Ventilation
The standard BC100i frame is not force cooled. It is recommended that some vertical spacing
is left between adjacent rack-mounting units to allow for natural convection: this is particularly
important if the rack includes equipment which generate a signicant amount of heat (e.g.,
audio ampliers).
The temperature of a fully-loaded frame can rise to approx. 20 ºC above ambient, i.e., typically
45 ºC. An optional internal low-speed fan assembly may be specied at the time of order; when
this is tted, the temperature rise is limited to about 10 ºC above ambient i.e., about 35 ºC.
Ref: BC100i Operations Guide v1 5
Power requirements
The frame is supplied with two modular PS100i Power Supply Units (PSUs) rated at 100 W
each. The PSUs are wired for fully redundant operation, and have independent rear panel IEC
connectors. The PS100i is a “universal” type and will operate on any AC mains supply voltage
from 90 to 253 V, 47 to 63 Hz.
The DC outputs are distributed internally via the motherboard to all card slots using current-
sharing: there is no interruption to frame operation in the unlikely event of a PSU failing. Each
PSU can power a fully-loaded rack, regardless of card type mix.
Each of the two IEC connectors has an integral fuseholder. The fuse compartment below the
connector has a second holder for a spare fuse. Note that the active fuse is the one on the
left. The fuse data is given in the table below: always replace a blown fuse with one of exactly
the same type. If the replacement fuse blows immediately on switch-on, the PSU is faulty and
should be removed for repair.
Fuse type T5A 250V
Fuse rating 5 A
Fuse size (l x dia.) 20 mm x 5mm
The power supply modules plug in at the front of the frame and are secured in place by two
captive screws at the top of the module panel. They are hot-swappable. A green POWER OK
LED conrms correct PSU operation.

1. Display – 7” colour touch-sensitive LCD. The home page shows a status overview of all 15
card slots; further pages give further details of each card and its SFP(s), the BC100i PSU
status and a network card (if tted).
2. PSU 1 - PS100i modular power supply.
3. PSU 2 - PS100i modular power supply. The two PSUs form a dual redundant pair.
4. POWER OK – two green LEDs, illuminate when the associated PSU is operating normally.
5. Reset button – resets the BC100i’s internal microprocessor controlling the frame
monitoring functions and display. Pressing this button will also update the frame’s rmware
if a USB memory device with the new rmware is plugged into the USB port [5]. Use a small
screwdriver (or similar) to press the internal tac button.
6. USB port – Type A USB connector for updating BC100i rmware.

System Monitoring
The BC100i incorporates a sophisticated, microprocessor-based monitoring system. All BC
Series cards are able to report information about their type and status to the frame: this data is
available for display on the front panel touchscreen.
The BC100i display has eight pages:
• Home page (the default page on power-up)
• Frame page
• Frame Settings page
• PSU Information page
• Card info page
• SFP page
• Card specic parameters page
• Network Card page

The main area of the Home page is the frame Overview, which shows the primary status of each
card installed in the frame.
1. The Overview area has been designed to mimic the LED status array tted to the front
panel of the Bluebell BC100 frame. Each of the 15 card slots is represented by a coloured
rectangle containing two bicolour “virtual LEDs”.
In each slot:
• Blue rectangle – card present
• Black rectangle – no card detected
• Green LED – valid signal detected, or no channel present on card (applicable only to
certain single-channel cards)
• Red LED – no valid signal detected
Ref: BC100i Operations Guide v1 9
The red and green LEDs give a general “go/no-go” indication of the status of each channel (A
and B) on each card, but the precise method of status monitoring determining the LED colour
varies considerably from card to card. Please refer to the Operation Guide for each type of card
in use for full details of how the status indication is derived.
Touch a blue rectangle to navigate to the Card Info page for the card tted to that slot.
2. Each card installed reports its identity to the frame monitoring system: the type is displayed
below the slot number. (The odd-even offset of card idents is purely for reasons of legibility.)
NOTE: a few older types of BC Series cards do not report their identities.
3. The Home Page includes basic information about the BC100i frame’s operation and
status: temperature and output voltage of each PSU, temperature of the frame itself
and time since the last reset or power-up (whichever was more recent). The Frame page
repeats and expands on this data.
4. Unit rmware date.
5. Press the Frame button to navigate to the Frame page.
6. If a Network Card is tted to Slot 16, this button will display BM102i or BM103 according
to card type. Press to navigate to the Network Card page. If no Network Card is tted, the
button displays Network.
7. Press the Settings button to navigate to the Settings page.

Frame Information
1. Frame Type – conrms frame type.
2. Frame Function summary – conrms the frame conguration.
3. Frame Serial Number, Frame hardware revision and Frame rmware revision – conrms
serial number, hardware and rmware versions: you may need this information if you need
to contact Bluebell with any technical issues that may arise with the BC100i.
4. S/N eeprom detected – conrms the detection of the frame’s Serial Number EEPROM.
(Included for assistance in fault-nding).
5. Power Supply status – conrms the correct operation of each of the frame’s two PSUs.
Frame Specic Parameters
6. Last reset – displays the elapsed time since the last BC100i frame microprocessor was
reset, either by the front panel Reset button or by power-cycling. The time format is in days,
hours, minutes and seconds.
7. Fan status – if a fan assembly is tted, this will display ok or fail, indicating its correct
operation. If the BC100i frame does not have a fan assembly, this eld will display Not
tted.
8. Frame temperature and Temperature status – display the actual internal frame
temperature and a status report about the temperature relative to the frame’s permitted
operating range, as follows:
Temperature status Meaning
Too low <= 0 °C
Low <= 5 °C
Ok > 5 °C to 60 °C
High > 60 °C
Too high > =70 °C
9. PSU1 data – the PSU’s DC output voltage and internal temperature are displayed, together
with a status comment for each.
10. PSU data – as [9] above, for PSU2.
11. Press the PSU1 or PSU2 buttons to open the Power Supply Information page for each
PSU. These buttons are colour-coded: green indicates the PSU is operating normally, red
indicates that there is a problem
12. Home – press this button to return to the Home page.
