Ross ACUITY Ultrix Installation And Cabling Manual

Ultrix 5RU Frame
NOTICE Adequate ventilation within a rack
frame must be maintained. Ensure side to side
ventilation is not compromised. Refer to the
Ultrix Installation Guide for more information.
Notes:
• The Ultrix 5RU frame supports the Acuity switcher platform
with up to 4 MEs.
• The switcher uses the Reference input to Ultrix for timing.
• All 4 power supplies must be connected to operate the
switcher.
• The Input and Output HD-BNCs on the SDPE blade are not
used at this time.
• Physical sources and destinations on the router must be
mapped internally to inputs and outputs on the switcher.
• The Ultrix SDI I/O blade is used to provide the sources and
destinations that the switcher can access.
• The REF B connection is not supported at this time.
• A 1GbE ethernet connection is required for Ultrix.
• An Ultricool may be required, depending on your
installation.
• The Protective Earth Stud may not be present on all
frames.

CAUTION!
Electrical shock hazard. The Power connector (PWR) must
always be disconnected when the SDPE blade is not installed in the frame.
Notes:
• The switcher is made up of a single Acuity CPU board, and a number of SDPE blades. Each SDPE blade provides a
single HD/UHD ME.
• The number of SDPE blades a system can have depends on the size of the Ultrix frame and the other blades that
are installed.
• Only the Ethernet port on the Acuity CPU card can be used to connect to the Acuity software.
• The Power, Ethernet, USB, SD, and Input/Output HD-BNCs on the SDPE blade are not used at this time.
• The GPI and Tally ports on each SDPE blade are independent of each other. As you add more SDPE blades, each
ME has an independent set of GPIs and Tallies.
