  • Page 19: Router Hardware Description

    Router Hardware Description Router Hardware Description The UDS system is based upon a three board architecture similar to other Utah Scientific routing switchers. These three boards are made up of an Input board, a crosspoint board, and output board. Input and Output boards insert into Crosspoint board assemblies that are permanently mounted inside their respective enclosures.
  • Page 20 System Setup The standard 32, 64 and 144 frames also allow for audio options. If AES routing is needed, an AES coaxial input card (121422-1) can be fitted in the frame and those AES signals routed out of a standard SDI output card. If analog audio routing is desired, the ADC Input (121420-1) and DAC Output (121421-1) cards can be fitted in the frame.
