including Component, RGB, VGA and S-Video to a virtually unlimited number of display devices
(FIG. 1).
FIG. 1 UDM-1604
The UDM-1604 supports four high-resolution input ports and 16 UDM output ports.
The UDM-1604 delivers media over easily-installed, dedicated Cat5/5e/6, which de-couples distribution
of the media from the corporate backbone. Users can quickly switch and transmit any video source to the
display device, power on/off display devices, and permission user control to select and play video
sources and media servers on demand.
The UDM-1604 offers four high-resolution input ports on the back of each unit. Additional Composite
video inputs (RJ-45 located on the front) enable the connection of four interconnects from a TVM-1600
Managed TV Distribution Hub or four Composite video sources using approved Video over UTP
extenders.
In total, the UDM-1604 system can distribute any combination of the following: four RGBHV sources,
four Component video sources, four 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 or 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. See the Audio & Video Formats/Resolutions/
Distance section on page 12 for tested and confirmed distances.

It is important to note that 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.
Several factors affect the overall quality of the displayed video, including the quality of the twisted pair
cable and connectors used, the nature of the video image itself, as well as the particulars of the
installation and how the video is displayed and viewed.
Two major factors affect the quality of signal transmission include:
Cable Distance: Naturally, long distances cable runs (in excess of 300 meters/1000 feet) are
always 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.
Excessive skew can adversely affect video image quality, especially at long cable lengths and
high signal resolutions.
UDM-1604 Endeleo Multi-Format Distribution Hub

Cascading Hubs
Overview
UDM Hubs can be connected (cascaded) together to increase the number of inputs which can be
delivered to the end points. This is known as cascading hubs together.
The Cascade In port and Cascade Out ports will be used when cascading 2 Hubs together.
A cascade cable UDM-EXP-01 will be required to connect Hubs together. This cable can be purchased
from AMX, as it is not shipped with the Hub.
Configuring a Master Hub
A Master Hub will have to be configured (to synchronize audio) in any cascaded system. This will
normally be the first Hub in the system and should follow a top (Master) to bottom (Slave) configuration.
In theory there is no limit to the amount of Hubs cascaded i.e. one Master only but multiple Slaves.
To configure a hub as a Master Hub;
1. Click on the Setup option.
2. Click on the Cascade master option (FIG. 70) to configure the Hub as a Master Hub.

operating system, or have an alternate TFTP client, follow the directions of your OS
and install TFTP client if necessary. Consult with AMX Technical Support as to the
appropriate client for your OS.
1. Obtain the Port Controller file and store it in a directory or folder on your PC. For example, create
C:\UDM\Port.
2. Run your TFTP client. If using the Windows client, move to step 2.
3. Start a command session on the PC. Change to the directory where the .ROM files are stored on the
PC:
e.g. cd\udm and cd\port
4. Type in the following command at the prompt, observing the parameters below;
TFTP -i [IP address] PUT [filename].[portnumber]
For example, typing in TFTP -i 192.168.0.96 PUT R26201610800.001 will upload the file
R26201610800 to port 1 on the UDM hub with IP address 192.168.0.96.
5. Push Enter to execute the command.
6. Upload the file to any other ports requiring this upgrade by changing the last 3 digits of the
command to the relevant port number. For example, enter TFTP -i 192.168.0.96 PUT
R26201610800.002 to upload the file to port 2 on the UDM hub with IP address 192.168.0.96.

Copying the Hub Configuration File
Copying the Hub Configuration file permits the Administrator to make backups of key data entered by
Administrators, such as Input names, Port names, Devices and the Hub setup.
Windows XP Pro has a built in TFTP client program. If you are using another
operating system, or have an alternate TFTP client, follow the directions of your OS
and install TFTP client if necessary. Consult with AMX Technical Support as to the
appropriate client for your OS.
Create a directory or folder on the PC to store the configuration file. For example, create
C:\UDM\Config.
To backup the Hub Configuration file:
1. Run your TFTP client. If using the Windows client, move to step 2.
2. Start a command session on the PC. Change to the directory where the Hub Configuration file is to
be stored on the PC:
e.g. cd\udm and cd\config.
3. Type in the following command at the prompt, observing the parameters below:
TFTP -i [IP address] get hxxxxx.hub
Where hxxxxxx.hub is the name of the hub configuration file.
The file name must start with an h.
If the name of the Hub Configuration file is not known, typing in h followed by any logical
characters will find the file, as only one file beginning with h is in the UDM Hub.
Use a name that will identify the hub configuration file for the project. For example,
hmyproject.hub is an acceptable name.

Copying Protocols Between UDM Receivers
Once protocols have been learned by the Hub through the Web browser, they will remain on the Hub.
Protocols are assigned to individual UDM Receivers (UDM-RX01) by using the Web interface pages.
The protocols can be transferred between UDM hubs by using the TFTP file transfer utility.
All learned protocols are stored in the hub in a file starting with either an i or an s.
Windows XP Pro has a built in TFTP client program. If you are using another

Retrieving IR Files From the UDM Ports
Run your TFTP client. If using the Windows client, move to step 2.
1.
2. Create a folder on the C: drive named RX.
3. Browse the new RX folder with your TFTP client.
4. At the command prompt, type the following command to retrieve an IR/Serial file from the
UDM Receiver connected to port 1:
C:\RX\ TFTP –i <ip address of hub> get iname.001 <enter>
Example:
C:\RX\ TFTP –i 192.168.0.96 get isony.001 <enter>
5. To get a file off the RX connected to port 16 use this command:
C:\RX\ TFTP –i 192.168.0.96 get isony.016 <enter>
The file name you create must start with an “i” and end in an extension from .001 to .016.
6. To put the file onto another RX unit on the same hub you must first copy the newly created file to all
extensions (.001 - .016), or at least the extension of the port to which the RX is connected.
C:\RX\ copy isony.001 isony.002 <enter>
7. Repeat for other extensions:
C:\RX\ copy isony.001 isony.003 <enter>
C:\RX\ copy isony.001 isony.004 <enter>
8. Use the put command to send to the RX units on the other hub ports that need the IR/Serial file.
C:\RX\ TFTP –i 192.168.0.96 put isony.002 <enter>
Once an IR protocol has been learned for a specific port, it can simply be copied across to other
ports using the TFTP application and the network port. To copy an IR protocol to another port:
9. Create a directory or folder on the PC to store the protocol file. For example, create
C:\UDM\Protocol
10. You must GET the IR file from the Receiver via the hub. IR files all start with an I and use a file
extension to indicate number. These could therefore take the form isonymode1.001, IRtable.001 etc.
11. At the command prompt use the following command:
TFTP –I [IP address of hub] GET irtable.hub
Entering the extension ".hub" will download the hub configuration file, which will
capture such data as the input configuration, setup information, input and port
names, and the protocol files. The same file is used for serial (s) or IR (i) protocols.
Backing up the Hub Configuration File
Run your TFTP client. If using the Windows client, move to step 2.
1.
2. Start a command session on the PC. Change to the directory where the Hub Protocol file is to be
stored on the PC:
e.g. cd\udm and cd\protocol.
3. Type in the following command at the prompt, observing the parameters below:
TFTP -i [IP address] get ixxxxx.hub or TFTP -i [IP address] get sxxxxx.hub
Where ixxxxxx.hub is the name of the hub configuration file.
The file name must start with an i or an s.

interface to verify the correct protocol is assigned.
Upgrading Input Controllers
Input Controllers are numbered .001 to .004 and identified by the letter u before the
filename.
1. Run the TFTP client.
2. Start a command session on the PC and change to the directory where the .ROM files are stored on
the PC e.g. cd\hub.
3. Type in the following command at the prompt observing the parameters below;
TFTP –i [IP address] PUT u[filename].[portnumber]
For example typing in TFTP –i 192.168.0.96 PUT ufilename.001 will upload the Input controller
file to Input 1 on the UDM hub with IP address 192.168.0.96.
