Section 1 — System Description

Optimum Matrix Configurations

Optimum performance is achieved by positioning the modules in the

frame using the top to bottom priority shown in Table 6.

Note This hierarchy is required for interfacing to Jupiter Control Systems.

Module Abbreviation

Analog Video AV

Digital Video (SD or HD) DV

Analog Audio AA

Digital Audio (AES) DA

Data (TimeCode or Port) TCP

CAUTION The maximum number of HD modules that can be in a 7 RU Concerto frame

is three in which case the fourth slot has to remain empty. If two HD modules

are used then the other two slots can be loaded with any of the non HD mod-

ules.

Note Because

the 8 RU Concerto+ frame provides additional power and cooling

capacity when compared to the 7 RU frame, there are no restrictions on the

number of HD video modules in 8 RU frames.

The following are general guidelines:

• Empty slots need to be identified for their future use, such as HD Video,

• All modules that are in the same level must be

next to each other in the

frame,

• The preferred hierarchy between SD and HD Video modules in the

ame frame is to place the SD modules before the HD modules. If you

have a frame with two SD modules and two HD modules, place the SD

modules in slots 1 (top) and 2, and the HD modules in slots 3 and 4, and

• There is no preferred hierarchy betw

een TimeCode and Port modules

in the same frame.
