AMX UDM-0404 Quick Start Manual

Overview

The UDM-0404 4x4 Multi-Format Distribution Hub (FG-UDM-0404) delivers any video
source, including Component, RGB, VGA and S-Video to a virtually unlimited number
of display devices. The UDM-0404 (FIG. 1) supports 4 high-resolution input ports and
4 UDM output ports, and supports multiple methods of delivering sync information
between the UDM hub and the display device, including common mode.

IR TX connections for locally connected devices
Serial port (RJ-12)
ETHERNET port (RJ-45)
FIG. 1
UDM-0404
In total, the UDM-0404 system can distribute any combination of the following:
4 RGBHV sources, 4 Component video sources, 4 S-Video sources or 12 Composite
video sources. Source inputs to the UDM are industry standard VGA, Composite,
Component or S-Video feed, and output is presented as an RJ45 port for connection
to Cat5/5e/ 6 twisted-pair Ethernet cable.
Video inputs are connected via the HD15 Input connector on the rear of the UDM.
Adapters are used to bring the different types of video source into the UDM.
Each UDM has an Ethernet network port to provide connectivity to a central
management system, or can be controlled by the onboard configuration pages. A
Serial connection is also provided for CLI administration and diagnostic purposes.

Features

• 4 multi-format inputs x 4 outputs
• Supports multiple methods of delivering sync, including Common Mode Sync
• Digital audio support
• Central device control
• 1U rack-mounting

Compatibility

The UDM-0404 is compatible for use with UDM-RX01 (FG-UDM-RX01) and
UDM-RX02 (FG-UDM-RX02) Receivers.
Note: Common Mode Sync delivery is supported only on the UDM-RX02.

Note: The maximum distances indicated above are not absolute, but are
recommended distances that have been tested to deliver video at the specified
resolutions, without significant signal degradation. In particular, lower resolutions
(640 x 480, 720 x 480 and 800 x 600) can often be delivered significantly further than
what is indicated in the table. Refer to the UDM-0404 Endeleo Multi-format Distribution
Hub Operation/Reference Guide for additional details on maximum cable distances.
A/V Source Input Connectors
There are 4 sets of input connectors to the rear panel of the UDM-0404, labelled A-D
(see FIG. 1) that allow the UDM-0404 to connect to A/V source devices.

Connecting a VGA Video Input

1. Connect one end of a VGA cable to the source device's VGA output port.
2. Attach the other end of the cable to the appropriate VIDEO IN connection on the
UDM. For example, connect to the Video In connection on Input A of the Hub.
3. Connect any audio to the analog (RCA) audio connectors or digital (SPDIF)
connector.
Note: Ensure the UDM Hub port the RX01/RX02 is attached to is configured cor-
rectly within the Hub's configuration software. Also ensure the correct Audio
Type (Analog L/R, S/PDIF, or None) is selected for the relevant input.

Connecting a Composite Video Input

1. Connect the UDM-HD15RCA3 Breakout Cable (FG-HD15RCA3, not included) to
the source device's Composite output ports:
• A1 = red RCA
• A2 = green RCA
• A3 = blue RCA
2. Attach the other end of the cable to the appropriate VIDEO IN connection on the
UDM.
3. Connect any audio to the analog (RCA) audio connectors or digital (SPDIF)
connector.

Connecting a Component Video Input

1. Connect the UDM-HD15RCA3 Breakout Cable (FG-HD15RCA3, not included) to
the video source device's Component video output connectors (Red, Green and
Blue).
2. Attach the other end of the cable to the appropriate VIDEO IN connection on the
UDM.
3. Connect any audio to the analog (RCA) audio connectors or digital (SPDIF)
connector.

Connecting an S-Video Input

1. Connect the UDM-SVID01 HD-15 to SVideo cable (FG-UDM-SVID01, not
included) to the video source's S-Video connection.
2. Attach the other end of the cable to the appropriate VIDEO IN connection on the
UDM.
3. Connect any audio to the analog (RCA) audio connectors or digital (SPDIF)
connector.

Device Connectivity (IR TX1/2 and TX3/4 Ports)

A maximum of 4 Devices such as DVD players or VCRs can be connected to the UDM
Hub and controlled through the Browser software or via a remote control. An (optional)
IR02 IR splitter cable (FG-IR02) may be required.
1. Connect an Endeleo IR Emitter Module (FG-IR01) to the relevant IRTX port at
the rear of the Hub.
2. Run the other end of the IR Emitter to the device's IR sensor and attach the bud
to the device's sensor by removing the cover of the reverse side of the bud.
IR commands for each device on the system have to be learned by the Hub in order to
function properly. Refer to the Protocols and IR section of the UDM-0404 Operation/
Reference Guide on how to learn a device's IR commands.
