UDM-1604 Multi-Format Distribution Hub
UDM-1604 Multi-Format Distribution Hub
Overview
The UDM-1604 Endeleo Multi-format Distribution Hub (FG-UDM-1604) delivers any video source,
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.
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.

Installation
Overview
The UDM-1604 occupies a single rack space in a standard 19" equipment rack. Rack mounting brackets
and screws are located in the accessories box supplied with the UDM-1604.
Exercise extreme care when lifting or moving the hub within the rack to avoid injury. It
is recommended that you seek the assistance of another person when rack mounting
the UDM-1604.
Rack mounting brackets and screws are located in the accessories box supplied with the UDM-1604.
1. Attach the rack mounting brackets to each side of the UDM-1604 using four M4 screws for each
bracket (FIG. 2).
Installation
FIG. 2 Attach the mounting brackets to each side of the Hub
To prevent injury the Hub must be securely attached to the rack in accordance with
the installation instructions.
ALWAYS use the special rack mount brackets supplied and high quality fixing screws
to ensure the hub is installed in the rack correctly.
2. Place the UDM-1604 in the Rack and hold steady.
3. Two fixing holes are supplied on each side of the UDM-1604. Screw the hub into the rack using the
fixing holes (FIG. 3).
FIG. 3 Screw the hub into the rack using the fixing holes
DO NOT stand other units directly on top of the hub when it is rack mounted, as this
will place excessive strain on the mounting brackets.
Ventilation
ALWAYS ensure that the rack enclosure is adequately ventilated.
Sufficient airflow must be achieved (by convection or forced-air cooling) to satisfy the ventilation
requirements of all the items of equipment installed within the rack.

FIG. 4 UDM-1604 - Front Panel Components
IR Learning Sensor
An IR receive port is found at the front of the UDM Hub to the right hand side. This is used to learn
device IR remote control functions from devices such as DVD players, VCRs etc. Common functions
learned include Power on, Power off, Play, Pause, Stop, etc.
Refer to the Protocols and IR Learning section on page 31 for details.
Wiring and Connections
OUTPUT Ports (RJ-45)
The 16 RJ-45 ports on the front panel of the UDM (labelled “OUTPUTS”) provide connectivity to
UDM-RX01 or UDM-RX02 Multi-Format Receivers. This is a standard RJ-45 connector, and UDM
Receivers can be connected via either Cat5, Cat5e or Cat6 cabling (FIG. 5).

Default IP Address
The default IP address of the UDM-1604 is 192.168.0.96.
Once the UDM-1604 is switched on, use the Setup option in the UDM WebConsole to configure the
Hub’s correct IP address (see the Setup Page section on page 38).
The IP address may also be configured via the serial port (refer to the Backend Commands section on
page 62).

Serial Port
The Serial port on the rear panel (labelled “10101”) is available for diagnostic and troubleshooting
purposes.
Connecting the Serial port on the UDM-0102 is not an essential step in the
installation process.
The Serial port on the UDM-1604is an RJ12 connector, and requires a DB9-to-RJ12 adapter cable
(FG-RS01) to connect to a PC for Terminal control.

Wiring and Connections
IRTX (IR Transmit) Ports
Two 3.5mm stereo IRTX connections issue IR commands from the UDM hub to the controlled device(s):
TX1 – Transmits IR commands to Device 1
TX2 – Transmits IR commands to Device 2
A maximum of two IR devices (such as DVD players or VCRs) can be connected to the UDM via the
IRTX ports on the rear panel (FIG. 8), and controlled via the WebConsole or remote control.
IRTX1 IR Transmitter port (3.5mm stereo output)
IRTX2 IR Transmitter port (3.5mm stereo output)
IRRX IR Receiver port (3.5mm stereo input)
FIG. 8 IR Transmit/Receive Ports
IR devices controlled via the IRTX ports are typically installed within the same
equipment rack as the UDM.
Connecting an IR Device to an IRTX Port
To issue IR commands to the display device such as power on or power off, an IR01 Endeleo IR Emitter
Module (FG-IR01) is needed:
FIG. 9 IR01 Endeleo IR Emitter Module
Ensure the position of the device corresponds to the position assigned in the Devices
option of the UDM-0102’s WebConsole.
1. Connect the IR Emitter Module cable to the appropriate IRTX port on the UDM-0102.
2. Run the other end of the cable to the display device, and attach the IR Emitter over the device’s IR
sensor by removing the cover on the reverse side of the IR Emitter.
3. The UDM-0102 is now capable of issuing IR commands to the display device.
IR commands for each device on the system have to be learned by the UDM-0102 in order to function
properly. Refer to the Protocols and IR Learning section on page 49 on how to learn a device’s IR
commands.

Wiring and Connections
A/V Source Input Connectors
There are four sets of input connectors to the rear panel of the UDM-1604, labelled A, B, C and D
(FIG. 10).

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.
