IQMUX32 Introduction 1. Introduction 1.1 Module Description The IQMUX32 is a dual 8-channel digital audio multiplexing for 3 Gbit/s SDI, HD-SDI 1.5 Gbit/s or SD-SDI 270 Mbit/s signals. Audio processing features include audio delay, gain, invert and channel level routing, whilst video delay and a video processing amplifier are also included in the feature set.
IQMUX32 Introduction 1.2 Order Codes Modules with “A” order codes (for example, IQMUX3248-2A) can be fitted into either A- or Note: B-style enclosures. Modules with “B” order codes (for example, IQMUX3248-2B) can only be fitted into B-style enclosures. See page 7.
IQMUX32 Introduction 1.4 Enclosures The module can be fitted into the enclosure types shown. Although IQ modules are interchangeable between enclosures, their rear panels are Important: enclosure specific. An IQH3B enclosure accepts modules with either “A” or “B” order codes. An IQH3A or IQH1A enclosure accepts modules with “A” order codes only. See page 6.
