291M can also be dropped at the input. NOTE: 2048 x 1080p/PsF 29.97 and 30 formats support a maximum of 8 channels embedded audio. The OG-3G-AMA can be configured to function in the following ways: • 8-channel embedder • 8-channel disembedder •...
Each 3-pin analog audio connector carries one channel of analog audio that can be configured to be an input or an output. User Controls User Control options for the OG-3G-AMA consist of DIP switches on the card and the DashBoard Control System from Ross Video. Both options are described below.
• Install the Rear Panel onto the back of the frame corresponding to the slot pair you will be using for the OG-3G-AMA card. • Insert the OG-3G-AMA card into the frame in the right (even numbered) slot of the pair.
2. Locate the card frame slot on the rear of the openGear frame into which you wish to install the openGear card. NOTE: An OG-3G-AMA card occupies two slots in the frame. 3. Using a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the top screw from the desired blank rear plate and remove the rear plate.
The slots are numbered starting from the left-most slot when facing the fame front. IMPORTANT: OG-3G-AMA cards are installed into the right (even numbered) slot of the pair in order to connect with the rear panel. 4. Fully insert the card into the frame until the card is properly seated in the Rear Card.
B. Pull and release the door tabs to ensure the frame door is securely locked to the frame. Cabling Refer to Figure 1. "I/O Connections for the OG-3G-AMA" on page 5 to identify the input and output signal connectors. Eight WECO audio mating connectors are included with each OG-3G-AMA.

When one of these formats is present and embedding is turned on, the PASS HANC DIP switch will be ignored and all incoming packets will be dropped before embedding any new audio packets. OG-3G-AMA openGear Card v1.0 www.aja.com...
• Ethernet connection betweeen the controlling computer and the openGear frame NOTE: The openGear frame ships from AJA with the MFC-8322-S Frame Controller card for controlling the new AJA DashBoard cards. The openGear frame also supports the MFC-0G3-N Advanced Networking Frame Controller card, which can be used to control compatible OG cards.
Frames and Cards and Status Controls Three OG-3G-AMA Use Cases To provide detailed explanations of how to use the OG-3G-AMA DashBoard Control System, this section illustrates the following three basic use cases: 1. 8-Channel Embedder 2. 8-Channel Disembedder 3. 4-Channel Embedder and 4-Channel Disembedder Each use case includes a simplified block diagram and a corresponding screen capture of the DashBoard Control System configured to match each example.
