Notes:
• The Ultrix FR12 frame supports the Acuity switcher platform with up to 8 MEs.
• The Ultrix FR12 frame requires an Ultricore BCS to configure and operate the system.
• The Ultrix FR12 frame supports a single SDxE blade.
• The SDxE blades can only be installed in slots 8 or 9.
• The switcher uses the Reference input to Ultrix for timing.
• All power supplies must be connected to operate the switcher.
• The Input and Output HD-BNCs on the SDPE and SDxE blades 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.
• The Ethernet port on the SDxE blade should not be connected.

CAUTION! Electrical shock hazard. The Power connector (PWR) must always
be disconnected when the SDPE or SDxE blades are not installed in the frame.
NOTICE Do not connect the Ethernet port on the SDxE blade to a network. Connecting
the ethernet port can cause network problems with other blades in the frame.
Notes:
• The switcher is made up of a single Acuity CPU board, a number of SDPE blades, and an
optional SDxE blade.
• Each SDPE blade provides a single HD/UHD ME.
• The SDxE blade provides the 3D DVE Warp resources.
• 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.
• On the SDPE, the Ethernet, USB, SD, and Input/Output HD-BNCs are not used at this time.
• On the SDxE, the Ethernet, Display Port 2, AUX SFPs, and Input/Output HD-BNCs 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.
• Display Port 1 is used for diagnostic purposes only.
