  • Page 13: System Setup

    Section 1 System Setup Introduction The UHD 12G is a compact, power efficient series of SDI routing switchers. These products provide a compact design with unique control facilities to allow cost effective routing solutions and flexible, configurable distribution amplifiers or, when combined with a Utah Scientific SC-4 or SC-400 control system, provide a cost sensitive alternative to the flagship Utah Scientific UTAH-400 SDI routers.

  • Page 14: Router Hardware Description

    System Setup Router Hardware Description The UHD system is based upon a four board architecture similar to other Utah Scientific routing switchers. These four boards are made up of an Input board, a crosspoint board, midplane, and output board. Input or Output boards can be removed or added (via the midplane) in the field to expand systems, change IO types or replace defective modules.

  • Page 22: Determining And Setting Router Signal Levels

    System Setup Determining and Setting Router Signal Levels Signal levels are preset at the factory and tested during manufacturing, determined by cus- tomer input and requirements. The installation of your new Utah-400 Router should not require any signal level changes to operate after the new installation. By definition, a signal level represents distinct elements of the broadcast system.
