Precautions
Do not place or drop heavy or sharp-edged objects on the power cord. A damaged
cord can cause fire or electrical shock hazards. Regularly check the power cord for
excessive wear or damage to avoid possible fire / electrical hazards.
Do not touch any parts / circuitry with a high heat factor.
Capacitors can retain enough electric charge to cause mild to serious shock, even after
the power has been disconnected. Capacitors associated with the power supply are
especially hazardous.
Unit should not be operated or stored with cover, panels, and / or casing removed.
Operating the unit with circuitry exposed could result in electric shock / fire hazards or
a unit malfunction.
If abnormal odors or noises are noticed coming from the unit, immediately turn the
power off and disconnect the power cord to avoid potentially hazardous conditions. If
problems similar to the above occur, contact an authorized service representative
before attempting to operate the unit again.
Consumable items that are used in the unit must be periodically replaced. For further
details on which parts are consumables and when they should be replaced, refer to the
specifications at the end of the Operation Manual. Since the service life of the
consumables varies greatly depending on the environment in which they are used,
such items should be replaced at an early date. For details on replacing consumable
items, contact your dealer.

1. Prior to Starting
1-1. Overview
The USF-1013MUX is a module type digital audio multiplexer to be mounted into a USF-212S
frame.
The USF-1013 MUX is a plug-in module. The USF-1013MUX multiplexes and outputs 3G-SDI
signal, HD-SDI signal or SD-SDI signal, and 8 channels (stereo 4 sets) of AES/EBU signal.
AES 7/8 input can be switched to LTC signal input and the input LTC (Time code) can be
embedded in SDI output.
1-2. Features
Multiplexes 4 pairs (8 channels) of AES/ EBU signals onto SDI signals
3G/HD/SD-SDI input and output x 1
Gain adjustment for audio input/ output
Timecode (LTC) input (AES7/8 switching)
Sample rate converter for AES/ EBU input
1-3. About This Manual
This manual is intended to help the user easily operate this product and make full use of its
functions during operation. Before installing or operating your module, read this operation manual
thoroughly to ensure you understand the product. Afterwards, store this manual in a safe place for
future reference.

4-2. Synchronous / Asynchronous Audio Mapping
If audio channels are mapped on a per-channel basis and some audio channels are changed
from synchronous to asynchronous during processing, the audio channels may play out
improperly or noisily. In such case, verify and remap the channels on a per-group basis.
After mapping, if there is no input on the first channel of a group (ch1, 5, 9, and 13), all channels
in the group are not embedded.
If audio source channels are synchronized with VIDEO, they can be freely mapped to SDI audio
output channels. If audio source channels are asynchronous, they are mapped on a per-group
basis.
Synchronous Audio Mapping Example (Freely assignable on a per-channel basis)
Input Audio Channels Mapping Channels after Mapping
Synchronous and Asynchronous Audio Mapping Example
Synchronous audio is assignable on per-channel and Asynchronous audio is assignable on group
basis.

8. Troubleshooting
If a problem is not corrected by performing the procedure described below, turn the unit off and then
on again. If this still does not correct the problem, contact your dealer.
<SDI signal connection>
Is an SDI signal present?
Check if [SDI Status] is indicated as
Normal. (See Sec. 5-5-4.)
Verify the physical SDI connection.
<SDI signal format>
Is the SDI input format supported?
Check if [Video Format] is indicated
as Loss. (See Sec. 5-5-4.)
Input a supported SDI signal.
(See Sec. 5-4-1.)
<SDI signal format>
Does the [Sync Format] setting (see
Sec. 5-4-1) match SDI input format?
Set [Sync Format] to Auto or set
[Sync Format] to the SDI input
format. (See Sec. 5-4-1.)
Downstream devices
do not operate
properly when SDI is
not input.
Is [Sync Format] set to a system
format currently applied?
If set to Auto, video may be
distorted when SDI is not input.
Set [Sync Format] to the SDI input
format. (See Sec.5-4-1.)
When SDI is not input,
SDI output does not
synchronize with the
system.
Normal operation, input SDI signals.
USF-1013MUX outputs SDI signals
according to SDI input. When SDI
input is not present, SDI output does
not synchronize with the system.
Video images are
distorted on
downstream devices
when SDI input is not
present in 4K mode.
Normal operation, input SDI signals.
When SDI input is not present, SDI
output does not synchronize with the
system. Payload ID is not passed
through either.
Cannot map audio
channels.
Is [Output - Audio Mode] set to
Through? (See Sec. 5-3-1.)
Abnormal or noisy
sound output. (SDI)
Are asynchronous or non-PCM
audio
Forcibly assigned per channel?
(See Sec. 4-2.)
Assign audio per group if an
asynchronous or non-PCM audio
channel is included in a group.
Cannot output
(embed) the AES7/8
audio input.
Is [AES 7/8 Port] of system menu
set to LTC Input?
Cannot output
(embed) LTC signal
which is input from
AES7/8.
Is [AES 7/8 Port] of system menu
set to 「AES7/8 Input」?
Unable to output
(embed) AES signal
which is input from
AES3/4 or AES7/8.
Is no signal input into AES1/2 nor
AES5/6?
The audio clock is gained from
AES1/2 or AES5/6 input so input
AES audio signal.
Unable to embed
audio. (Audio packets
are not embedded.)
Is audio present on the first channel
(ch1, 5, 9 or 13) of the group? See
Sec. 4-2 for details.
Input audio to the first channel.
If any of the following problems occur while operating the USF-1013MUX, follow the troubleshooting
procedures below to see if the problem can be corrected before assuming a unit malfunction has
occurred.
