AMX UDM-ABB-8-SIG Installation Manual

Overview
The UDM-ABB-8-SIG Audio Breakout Box (FG1402-60) delivers analog and
digital audio, buffered and cascaded from the output side of an upstream
UDM-0808-SIG Hub.
The Audio Breakout Box (ABB) allows up to eight individual audio streams to be
centrally delivered as inputs into distributed audio systems that may co-exist
with the RX02N receivers.

Common Application
The ABB is ideal as an optional accessory to the UDM-0808-SIG Hub and
NI-3101-SIG Central Controller. The ABB separates the audio from the eight
audio / video inputs received by the UDM Hub, and delivers them in either
analog or digital form to the inputs of a distributed audio system.
Features
• 8 Audio outputs (RCA analog and SPDIF digital)
• The UDM-ABB-8-SIG can be used to interface between the Hub and an
audio distribution system (such as the DAS-T0808-SIG Distributed Audio
unit)
• 1U rack-mounting
Compatibility
The UDM-ABB-8-SIG is compatible for use with UDM-0808-SIG Multi-Format
Distribution Hubs.

Connecting the UDM-ABB-8-SIG to an UDM-0808-SIG
Use a UDM-EXP01 Cascade cable (FG1402-71) to connect the ABB to the
UDM-0808-SIG Hub that will provide the audio sources (FIG. 2), as described
below:

Note: Audio clock data is taken from the AUDIO IN 1-4 port, hence a valid
connection must be made to this input for the ABB to work properly. The AUDIO
IN 5-8 port is only used if you intend to cascade audio from more than four
outputs on the UDM Hub.

Connecting Audio Outputs
The UDM-ABB-8-SIG provides 8 sets of audio output ports (RCA and SPDIF).
FIG. 3
Use standard audio cables to connect the ABB to up to eight audio playback
devices.
UDM-ABB-8-SIG Configuration
There is no direct configuration of the ABB. Rather, audio cascade options are
configured on the source Hub itself (via the "SFI" Send Command described
below).
Note: Refer to the UDM-0808-SIG, -RX02N & -ABB-8-SIG Operation/Reference
Guide for a listing of all Send Commands supported by the UDM-0808-SIG.

Connecting the UDM-ABB-8-SIG to an UDM-0808-SIG
Connect a UDM-EXP01 Cascade Cable to the appropriate CASCADE
(OUT) port on the UDM Hub (CASCADE 1-4 or CASCADE 5-8):
• Use the CASCADE 1-4 (OUT) port to cascade audio from outputs A-D on
the UDM Hub to the ABB.
• Use the CASCADE 5-8 (OUT) port to cascade audio from outputs E-H on
the UDM Hub to the ABB.
Connect the other end of the Cascade Cable to the appropriate AUDIO IN
port on the ABB (1-4 or 5-8):
• Use the AUDIO IN port labeled 1-4 to connect to the CASCADE 1-4 (OUT)
port on the UDM Hub.
• Use the AUDIO IN port labeled 5-8 to connect to the CASCADE 5-8 (OUT)
port on the UDM Hub.
Connect a UDM Cascade cable to the remaining Cascade Out port on the
UDM-0808-SIG (CASCADE 1-4 or CASCADE 5-8), and connect the other
end of the UDM Cascade cable to the appropriate AUDIO IN port on the
UDM-ABB-8-SIG.
