Getting Started

Packaging

The shipping carton and packaging materials
provide protection for the module during transit.
Please retain the shipping cartons in case
subsequent shipping of the product becomes
necessary.

Product Description

The C MX 5110 is a high performance Audio
Multiplexer for analog Audio and Video signals. It
contains a 12 Bit Video A/D Converter for analog
PAL/NTSC composite, component Y, Pr, Pb, and S­Video Y, C signals and a dual stereo 24 bit audio
A/D converter. The module is designed primarily for
broadcast and professional applications.

The analog video signal is converted into an SDI
signal, the analog audio signal is converted into
digiatl AES3 (balanced), which can be multiplexed
into the SDI signal and is in parallel available on
separate audio outputs on a SubD 25pin
connector.
The audio signals for embedding as well as for the
external output can be selected from the input
signals on a mono channel basis.

The C MX 5110 features a wide range of available
adjustments (via optional Rack Controller), basic
adjustments are possible using the local multi­function switch and integrated display.

CardModules are installed in the series 5000 card
frame that can accommodate up to 10
CardModules. All modules are hot swappable and
Options include full redundant power and a range
of controller options.

Caution

Use static precautions when handling the
PCB. Static discharge could result in serious
damage to the module.

Connections

Video Connections

The C MX 5110 CardModule is configured with
standard 75 Ohm BNC connectors. Connection is
self-explanatory. We recommend the use of high
quality video cable for digital video connections to
reduce the risk of interference or errors due to
excessive cable attenuation. Some guidelines for
max cable length are shown below.

250m (820 feet) Belden 8281 (270Mbits/s)

Note. Due to the compact design of the
connection plate it will be necessary to use a
connection tool to secure the BNC video
connectors.

Audio Connections

The C MX 5110 Module is configured for SubD audio
connections for audio I/O. The SubD connector
should be wired in accordance with the table
below. Please use high quality screened cable to
prevent the introduction of noise and interference
to the audio signals (twisted pair suitable for
balanced audio signals).

Audio Connections (un-balanced)

Although the module is designed primarily for balanced
line audio connections it is possible to make un­balanced audio connections to the module. NOTE.
When used in this manor certain technical specifications
of the module cannot be maintained.
