UDM-0808-SIG Wiring and Connections Two major factors that can affect the quality of signal transmission include: Cable Distance: Long distance cable runs (in excess of 300 meters/1000 feet) are subject to resistance and capacitance losses which can negatively impact the quality of the image. Skew: "Skew" represents the slight delay that results from the variation in wiring lengths for each of the twisted pairs. The effects of skew on A/V signals increases with cable length.

If the channel is greater than or equal to (>=) 100, then IR function 127 or 20 (whichever exists) is generated for the one hundred digit. Uses 'CTON' and 'CTOF' times for pulse times. If the IR code for ENTER (function #21) is loaded, an Enter will follow the number.

PAGE 66
UDM-RX02N NetLinx Programming UDM-RX02N Serial SEND COMMANDs (Cont.) "'RXON'" Start transmitting received characters to the Master (default). This command is automatically sent by the Master when a 'CREATE_BUFFER' program instruction is executed. Syntax: SEND_COMMAND ,"'RXON'" Enables sending incoming received characters to the Master. Example: "'SET BAUD'" Syntax: Set the serial communication parameters.

UDM-RX02N NetLinx Programming Additionally, it can control low traffic two-way devices not dependent on real time feedback. An appropriate 2-way example would be a query of lamp hours from a projector once per hour which is dumped into a variable for viewing on a touch panel page. An inappropriate use of serial control of a device via a RX02N would be the control of a verbose device via programming that is heavily dependent on real time feedback.

UDM-RX02N IR File Transfers UDM-RX02N IR File Transfers Overview The NetLinx Studio software application (available for free download from www.amx.com) provides the ability to transfer IR Library files to a NetLinx device such as the UDM-RX02N Receiver. In the case of UDM-RX02Ns, IRL files are transferred to the RX02Ns, via the UDM-0808-SIG Hub. FIG.

UDM-ABB-8-SIG Audio Breakout Box UDM-ABB-8-SIG Audio Breakout Box Overview The UDM-ABB-8-SIG Audio Breakout Box (FG1402-60) delivers analog and digital audio, buffered and cascaded from the output side of an upstream UDM-0808-SIG Hub. The Audio Breakout Box (ABB) allows up to eight individual audio streams to be centrally delivered as inputs into distributed audio systems that may co-exist with the RX02N receivers.
PAGE 82
UDM-ABB-8-SIG Audio Breakout Box Product Specifications UDM-ABB-8-SIG Specifications Power Requirements: • Power is supplied from the cascade output port of the UDM-0808-SIG Hub. • Power dissipated less than 5W. Front Panel Components: Power Status bar: Blue light bar on front panel indicates unit is powered. Rear Panel Components: Audio In Connections: 2 SCSI ports support audio input from the Cascade Out ports on an UDM-0808-SIG Hub.

UDM-ABB-8-SIG Audio Breakout Box 2. Connect the other end of the Cascade Cable to the appropriate AUDIO IN port on the ABB (1-4 or 5-8): Use the AUDIO IN port labeled 1-4 to connect to the CASCADE 1-4 (OUT) port on the UDM Hub. Use the AUDIO IN port labeled 5-8 to connect to the CASCADE 5-8 (OUT) port on the UDM Hub. Audio clock data is taken from the AUDIO IN 1-4 port, hence a valid connection must be made to this input for the ABB to work properly.

UDM-ABB-8-SIG Audio Breakout Box Variables: I# = Input number (initial 'I' may be omitted): 1-8 = Inputs A-H (on the UDM Hub) F# = Output (on the UDM Hub) to follow selector: "INPUT" = local input (default setting) "PORT" = switched port input Example 1: SEND_COMMAND dvUDM,"'SFI2FINPUT'" Sets expansion channel 2 to be whatever is connected to input B.

UDM-ABB-8-SIG Audio Breakout Box "SAI" Send Command Use the "SAI" Send Command to configure a specific audio input to accept signals of a certain type, and set the source as either a local source (devices connected directly to the inputs A-H on the UDM Hub to which the ABB is connected) or cascaded from an upstream UDM-0808-SIG Hub. Syntax: SEND_COMMAND , "'SAITC'" Variables: I# = input number - a value of zero indicates all inputs, initial 'I' may be omitted.

Cascading Hubs Cascading Hubs Overview The UDM-0808-SIG features Cascade In/Out connectors which allow one UDM-0808-SIG to pass its inputs to another UDM-0808-SIG. This cascade port can also be used to connect the UDM-0808-SIG to the UDM-ABB-8-SIG Audio Breakout Box. The UDM-0808-SIG supports up to eight inputs (A-H), and up to eight outputs (UDM Ports 1-8).
PAGE 88
Cascading Hubs Cascading Guidelines Maximum Number of Cascaded 0808 Hubs Due to the analog nature of the UDM-0808-SIG, the cascade limits of the product depend on how it is used. As a general rule, AMX recommends limiting the number of cascaded units to 3, unless the system is being used in a signage application or with 4 or fewer inputs. Applications With a Mix of Component and VGA Inputs Based on testing at AMX, only three 0808 Hubs should be cascaded together, providing a total of 24 outputs.
PAGE 89
Cascading Hubs Maximizing Performance Of Cascaded UDM-0808-SIG Hubs At cable runs longer than 100m, the RX unit should be powered using a local power supply. When two VGA signals are placed on adjacent inputs (e.g. A and B, B and C, C and D), they should be set to different resolutions and/or refresh rates. Do not running audio on an input if it's not needed. On installations with less than eight inputs, the inputs should be spaced as far apart as possible.
PAGE 90
Cascading Hubs The audio for these sources, in addition to being sent down the Cat 5 will also be output on their respective outputs on the Audio Breakout Box. FIG. 70 UDM-ABB-8-SIG Audio Breakout Box Configuration 2 In the example shown in FIG. 70: The UDM-0808-SIG has been commanded to route Source 1 to Outputs 1 through 3. The audio outputs on the Audio Breakout Box automatically reflect this change so that the audio will be sent through the distribution amplifier to the appropriate locations.

Cascading Hubs Cascading Two Hubs - Cable Connections 1. Attach one end of the UDM Cascade cable to the CASCADE OUT port on the Source Hub. The Source Hub provides the video source that will be cascaded to the Target Hub (FIG. 71). 2.

Cascading Hubs If Source or Target mode is changed, then the Hub must be rebooted via the "'RESET'" Send Command (page 18). When changing a Hub from a Target Hub back to a Source Hub, you must send the MMON command, RESET the unit, allow it to come online, then RESET it again. Configuring the Hub as a Target Hub In a cascaded Hub installation, downstream Hubs must be configured as "Target" hubs, and should follow a top (Source) to bottom (Target #1, Target #2, Target #3) configuration.

Cascading Hubs C# = Cascade selector - if present assume CASCADE, if not assume LOCAL "LOCAL" "CASCADE"  Example 1: SEND_COMMAND dvUDM,"'SVI0TCVBSC'" Sets all Inputs to CVBS from cascaded inputs. Example 2: SEND_COMMAND dvUDM,"'SVI1TVGAC'" Sets Input A to VGA / Cascaded. Example 3: SEND_COMMAND dvUDM,"'SVI2TCOMPC'" Sets Input B to Comp / Cascaded. Refer to the UDM-0808-SIG NetLinx Programming section on page 13 for a listing of all Send Commands supported by the UDM-0808-SIG.
