AES Input The MUX-8552A can accommodate two synchronous AES-3id input streams at 48 kHz or any asynchronous AES stream from 20kHz to 103kHz with sample rate conversion (SRC) enabled. SRC should only be used with PCM (Pulse Code mOdulate) digiatal audio and not any form of conpression ie. - Page 16 Once the cables have been wired to the connectors, install the connectors to the sockets on the CON- 8552 adapter so that the slotted tongue fits in the grooves on the adapter socket. 2-4 • Installation and Setup MUX-8552A User Manual (Iss. 01)

LEDs will indicate which groups have embedded audio. Figure 7. Card-edge LEDs The front card edge has LEDs that display the status of input signals. The LED displays are described in the preceding figure and the following table: 3-4 • User Controls MUX-8552A User Manual (Iss. 01) - Page 21 Indicates no valid SDI input, or card not locked to SDI input. When flashing red, this LED indicates that group select jumper JP11 is set to overwrite pre-existing audio on the selected AES group without jumper JP7 being set to overwrite.

Page 23: Smpte 269M Fault Reporting
The SMPTE 269M Fault Reporting system, also known as an SMPTE “alarm”, provides indication if one or more frame modules encounter a fault or an abnormal condition. The MUX-8552A module provides a jumper to enable SMPTE 269M fault reporting. The card connects by means of an internal interface circuit to an auxiliary telco connector on RossGear 8000 and 8000A series frames. -
Page 24: Jumper Setup
Jumper Setup If fault reporting for the MUX-8552A is desired, use main card jumper JP3 - 269M FAULT REPORT to set up the card. 1. To access the jumper, remove the card from the frame by pressing down the white card ejector tab and pulling the card from the frame slot. -
