  • Page 25: The Utah-400 Routing Matrix

    Routing Switcher Basics The Utah-400 Routing Matrix The Utah-400 router utilizes a ‘3 board’ architecture that consists of an input-crosspoint-output card combination. This unique 3-board technology allows for a greater flexibility of input and output combinations available to the user. Each input or output board contains twelve signal paths so the user can expand in groups of twelve up to the maximum capacity of the router.
  • Page 26 Introduction The output from the crosspoint is directed to its proper path on the output bus and the appro- priate output board slot. When the output board detects a valid output signal, it will illuminate the appropriate Signal Presence LED. From this point the output signal is sent to its output driver and its BNC.
  • Page 27 Routing Switcher Basics The 528 and XL systems utilize all the same plug-in cards to create their configurations. The 528 frame offers redundant crosspoints and a 528 port input by 528 port output system in 20 RU, while the XL system provides no dedicated cross point redundancy, but a 1056 port router in 40 RU.

  • Page 36: Ut-400 Embedded Signal Processing Functionality

    Introduction UT-400 Embedded Signal Processing Functionality The Series 2 routers were designed with one more redundant, high speed data path from the IO cards to the crosspoint array than is necessary for their base operation as crosspoint based audio or video routers. This path is used, among other things, to carry a TDM based communi- cations signal from input cards where it is generated, to a central crosspoint array where it is switched, and finally to an output card slot where the signal can exit the router as AES, part of a MADI signal, or as an embedded audio channel on a video output.
  • Page 37 UT-400 Embedded Signal Processing Functionality A TDM audio crosspoint must be placed on the crosspoint cards within the system. • Note that in 528 systems, the TDM submodules install on Video Crosspoint numbers 0 and 2, and in the XL router the TDM submodules install on Video Crosspoint num- bers 0 and 3.

  • Page 38: Tdm Enabled Io Cards

    Introduction TDM Enabled IO Cards Following is a list of USI line cards that can generate or receive TDM streams. Supported Signal Types All AES signals contributed the TDM matrix either from a video stream, an AES input card or a MADI input card, must be at 48KHz sample rate and synchronous to the AES DARS reference presented to the rear of the router.

  • Page 39: Shuffling Versus Routing

    UT-400 Embedded Signal Processing Functionality Audio Delays – At each input, whether MADI, AES or Video, the incoming AES audio is aligned to the DARS reference presented to the router. Depending on the timing of that signal, this alignment will result in slightly more than one to slightly less than two AES samples. This equates to between 20.83 and 41.66 micro seconds.

  • Page 74: Connecting And Disconnecting Power

    Hardware Installation Connecting and Disconnecting Power The power system within the Utah-400 Series 2 router consists of two -48V power feeds present at the lower end of the chassis, and are fully isolated redundant feeds to each individual module (input card, output card, crosspoint card) within the system. With this architecture, there is no power supply assembly internal to the chassis itself, as each module receives and converts the -48V bus to its own internal requirements.
  • Page 75 Connecting and Disconnecting Power The black wire connects to the lower (negative) output post of the power supply and passes through a 40A fuse prior to connecting to the -48V input of the router. This fuse is a Littlefuse part number 142.6885.5402, or USI part number 41913-0001. Power Supply cable assembly (rear view) FIGURE 2-30.
