SMP-xx examples of common configurations
The SMP-xx 1U frame has six card slots at the front and rear of the unit. One of the slots is always reserved for the
network card (NET), leaving five slots that can be populated with a variety of video and and audio processing cards
tailored to any broadcast requirements:
4K Capable 32 input multi-viewer
Front View (Processing Cards)

SMP-xx-R (Integrated routers)
The SMP-xx-R frame has two integrated 32x32 non-blocking routers.
MV input router; offers a 32x32 non-blocking multi-viewer input capability which allows any SDI input to be routed to
any of the input channels on any VIP4.
SDI router; this is independent of the MV input router and functions as a stand-alone 32x32 non-blocking SDI router.

Any input combination between these extremes can be adopted along with the use of the audio IO cards to allow tailor made
solutions for any broadcast application.
Audio Handling
MP-xx frame – up to 8 audio input cards and up to 3 audio output cards are supported. Each analogue audio input card can
accept up to 32 channels with the digital input cards handling up to 32 AES pairs (64 digital channels). The maximum
number of audio input channels (from any source) supported is 1152.

MPX-RNG (network) rear
This is the only rear that has a different mechanical format between the 1U and 3U Frames. The signal connectivity is
identical, the only difference is the 3U version has a wider rear plate. All other rears are identical in form and functionality and
can be used in either sized frame.

RMP-CV4 rear
For use with with composite inputs only, the CV4 is designed for cvbs applications providing four independent inputs via BNC
connectors. State of the art CVBS decoders use frame comb decoding techniques to provide optimum separation of
luminance and chrominance components and is ideally suited to CCTV applications or where the input source requires time
base correction.
