6.14 Audio Connections
6.14.1 Audio Inputs
The MTX5000 IDU provides inputs for both analog or digital
audio, depending on how the MTX5000 is configured. The IDU
configurations all use 3-pin Weidmuller connectors. The analog
AUDIO 1 thru AUDIO 4 and digital AES/EBU connectors are
mounted on the rear panel of the IDU. (The AUDIO 3 and 4 and
AES/EBU connectors are currently inactive.)
The MTX5000 provides options for separate audio and video
outputs, as well as analog composite and embedded digital
formats. Analog audio inputs are factory-configured for each
customer’s requirements.
• Each MTX5000 is shipped with pre-installed factory
Presets, as specified and ordered by the customer.
• Hardware - Internal cabling connections from the
MTX5000 AUDIO connectors to the FMR and/or MPEG/
COFDM modules are factory-configured for each
MTX5000 ordered.
The MTX5000 provides a maximum of four analog audio circuits.
Each audio circuit is a 3-wire balanced circuit capable of carrying
one tone or voice signal. An audio circuit can carry one analog
balanced channel or two digital AES/EBU channels.
• Analog - Four monaural or two stereo channels carried on
two AUDIO connectors (AUDIO 3 and 4 connectors are
currently inactive.)
• Digital AES/EBU - Two digital channels carried on each
AES/EBU connector.
