Introduction

Section 1

System Setup

Introduction

The Universal Distribution System (UDS 288) is a compact, power efficient

series of SDI routing switcher. It combines a compact design with unique

control facilities to allow cost effective routing solutions and flexible,

configurable distribution amplifiers or, when combined with a Utah Scientific

SC-4 or SC-400 control system, provide a cost sensitive alternative to the

flagship Utah Scientific UTAH-400 SDI routers.

The UDS 288 routing switcher is available in one frame size –

• 288x288 frame size, consuming 300 watts of power.

The frame is 13.5 inches deep.

Section 1

Section 1 1-1

System Setup

Control System

The crosspoint switching and status monitoring of the UDS routing switcher is performed by
the ‘MX-Bus Interface’.

The routing switcher is simply a slave to a larger Utah Scientific SC4 or SC400 control system.
This is useful if a user requires more control locations or hardware panel options than are
supplied with the smaller UDS system. Information regarding SC4 and SC400 control systems
can be found in their respective manuals.

1-2 System Setup

Router Hardware Description

Router Hardware Description

The UDS system is based upon a four board architecture similar to other Utah Scientific
routing switchers. These four boards are made up of an Input board, a crosspoint board,
midplane, and output board.

Input or Output boards can be removed or added (via the midplane) in the field to expand
systems, change IO types or replace defective modules.

Section 1

Figure 1-1.

The UDS system is designed to carry SDI signals. The system natively supports and
reclocks SMPTE259C, SMPTE292, SMPTE424, ST2081, ST2082, and DVB-ASI signals
with a maximum data rate of 11.88 Gb/Sec.

Section 1 1-3

System Setup

The reclocking mechanism within the UDS automatically bypasses when a signal that is
not one of these standards is presented to it, allowing non-reclocked routing of any signal
from 18 Mb/Sec to 11.88 Gb/Sec.

The coaxial version of IO cards uses the HD-BNC connector offered by Amphenol and
Samtec. It provides superior performance and density while allowing connection of
industry standard Belden 1694 cable or other cable types with standard tools. Visit
http://hdbnc.amphenolrf.com/ for more information.

UDS Routing Switchers are powered by 12V DC connections. Systems are delivered with
1 power supply as a standard. (The part number for the optional redundant power supply
is USI 94001-9006.)

3G/12G

The UDS 288 supports two types of IO cards; those that support signals p to 3Gb/Sec and
others that support up to 11.88 Gb/Sec signals.

Signal Levels

A "signal level" represents one of many specific types of audio or video elements that a
routing switcher is capable of handling. The typical signals capable of being switched are:

• Analog Video

• Analog Audio (stereo with left and right channels).

• Digital Video

• Digital Audio (dual channel – stereo pair)

• High Definition Video.

Some systems may be configured with one signal level, while others may be configured
with multiple signal levels.

While the diagram in the previous section shows only one signal level, a multi-signal level
system is capable of routing any combination up to 32 levels – each with its own matrix
and cross-points.

The figure below illustrates eight signal levels in a 10 X 10 matrix system.

Section 1

Signal routers are typically much larger than a 10 X 10 matrix, depending on user needs.
Each signal level may also have different sizes of matrices and do not all need to be the
same size.

Section 1 1-5

System Setup

Hardware Installation

Initial Inspections

Check the contents of the shipment for completeness and possible transport
damage.

If the contents are incomplete or damaged, contact Utah Scientific Inc
immediately for repairing or replacement parts of the equipment.

Before Applying Power

Verify that the product is configured to match the available main
power source per the input power configuration instructions
provided in this manual.

The modules of the UTAH-100/UDS frame may only be installed in
specific positions. Interchanging power and function modules may
harm the UTAH-100/UDS frame permanently.

Service

Servicing, adjustments, maintenance or repair of this product may be performed
by qualified personnel only. Adjustments described in this manual may be
performed with power supplied to the product while protective covers are
removed. Energy available at many points may, if contacted, result in personal
injury. Capacitors inside this product may still be charged even when
disconnected from their power source.

1-6 System Setup

Hardware Installation

Initial Setup

1. Remove the chassis and inspect the unit carefully for damages that may
have occurred during transport.

2. Check that the frame is installed so the airflow though the unit is
unrestricted. No forced ventilation is required under normal operating
conditions.

3. Connect the external power cord to the corresponding power connector
on the rear side of the UTAH-100/UDS frame. Check that the Power LED
on the front panel is lit. Green LEDs indicate normal operation, while Red
LEDs indicate a failure condition. If a failure occurs; potentially related to
no power, inoperative fan, or temperature range, please disconnect
power and contact UTSCI support for assistance.

MX Bus

This is the control bus between the UDS 288 and the SC-4 controller. Each chassis contains
two connectors, fed through either side, then distributed to the next piece of equipment from
either side.

Dip Switches

The dip switches are used to set the location of the router within the MX-Bus system. Usage
example: A first level, binary setting would require all switches to be placed in the down
position.

Video Ref

Used as a switching reference. Provides analog blackburst or tri-level sync. This port is a

Power Supplies

Connecting and Disconnecting Power

The power system within the UDS 288x288 router consists of a 1 RU power supply shelf
that has up to (2) 12 VDC power supplies. Within this architecture, there is no power supply
assembly internal to the chassis itself, as each module receives and converts the 12V bus to
its own internal requirements. Overall power consumption depends upon loading, but an
average fully loaded system consumes 350 watts.

The standard power supply assembly shipped with a router (that is to be powered via AC
mains) contains two rectifier modules. The power supply shelf contains 3 slots, however
only one is required for system operation. A second power supply can be added for
redundancy, and will load share when a redundant power supply is in the system.

Figure 1-5. Power Supply (front view)

From the power supply assembly, two 8 AWG wires carry power as follows;

Section 1

• (1) black wire connect to negative (-) terminal of the power supply

• (1) red wire connects to the positive(+) terminal of the power supply,

and

passes through a 40A fuse prior to connecting to the +12V input of the

router. This fuse is a Littlefuse part number 142.6885.5402, or USI part

number 41913-0001.

Section 1 1-11

System Setup

Determining and Setting Router Signal Levels

Signal levels are preset at the factory and tested during manufacturing, determined by
customer input and requirements. The installation of your new Utah-400 Router
should not require any signal level changes to operate after the new installation.

By definition, a signal level represents distinct elements of the broadcast system.
These individual elements include, but are not limited to, High Definition Video, SDI
Video, Digital Audio, Analog Video, Analog Audio and Data Routers. For additional
information relating to signal levels, refer to “Signal Levels,” on page 1-5.

Should you ever need to change the signal level of your router it is useful to deter­mine:

• What new signal level is required.

• If other signal levels will have to be modified to accommodate the new signal level.

• Additional encoding requirements necessitated by the change.

1. Locate the dip switch on the control I/O panel at the rear of the chassis.

2. The four level bits work in a binary addition mode. Possible values range from
0 (all down) to 15 (all up). 0 is level 1 in an SC-4 control system, and 15 is level

16.

3. Set the switches to the level you have chosen according to the following table.

means that SC4 input 0 corresponds to the input labeled 1 on the
router, 1 corresponds to 2, etc. Make sure to take that into account
when connecting cables.

MX Bus Cables

The UDS 288 routing system utilizes the MX-Bus control system. It must be connected to
the SC-4 control system to switch its inputs and outputs. In addition, the proper levels and
offsets must be set on the UDS 288 routing system(s) so they will operate on the proper
signal levels.

The MX-Bus is a daisy chain configuration, must not exceed 300 feet (91.4 meters) in
length; and must be terminated at both ends of the daisy chain.

Your UDS 288 router is shipped standard with one MX-Bus Cable - 10 ft. (USI Part Number:
80299-10). Other lengths are available and may be ordered through Utah Scientific sales at
1 [phone].

System Setup

UDS288 Crosspoint Card – 121414-1

General

The 121414-1 Crosspoint Card is the central component in the 10 RU UDS288 router. It con­tains circuitry to control a 288x288 switching array based on commands from the MX-BUS,
power supply circuitry and alarm reporting circuitry.

Figure 1-12. Crosspoint Card - part # 121414-1

Circuit Description

The upper end of the card is the power supply section. There are modules that convert the
system 12V down to the 3.3V, 2.5V, 1.8V and 1.2V. U7 monitors these voltages and will
generate alarms if any are faulty. PWR OK, a green LED on the board front edge, lights
when all supplies are good.

The lower end of the card contains all of the control circuitry on the board. This consists
mainly an 16 bit DSP, and a FPGA. The FPGA receives commands from the external
MXBUS and switches the crosspoint chip appropriately, while the DSP monitors the health
of the board and reports that back to the system level Frame Controller Module for reporting
to the external world.

The video switching core of the system is in the center of the board, under the heat sink.
This is a 3.2Gb/Sec 288x288 crosspoint chip in a 2398 ball BGA package. It receives the

1.2V and 1.8V rails from the power supply section, a 30 bit control bus from the FPGA, and
288 inputs from video input cards and drive 288 video outputs to output cards.

UDS288 Frame Controller

Overview

Part # 121412-1, the UDS288 Frame Controller Module (FCM) has the system function of
coordinating all switching and reporting functions from the control system and applying
them to the router hardware. It has several communications busses, including the Utah
Scientific MX-Bus which carries crosspoint switches and general status to and from the
control system, a diagnostic serial port, and an Ethernet port for more detailed status and
control.

Figure 1-13. UDS-288 Frame Controller - 121412-1

Circuit Description

The heart of the FCM is a Kinetis K70 SOM/FPGA combination that allows the FCM to
process the large amount of switches required for this system.

Dedicated high speed control and status busses to each crosspoint and 6 busses that
communicate to the total IO cards make up the interconnect between the FCM and the
other boards in the system. The FCM operates as a redundant pair with an identical card
in the adjacent slot.

Network Configuration

Introduction

This guide describes the network configuration for the UTAH-100/UDS Router and Panel.
Using two setup scenarios; New Configuration on an Independent Network, and New
Configuration on an Existing Network. These are the first steps required to configure and
control the system.

Section 2 2-1

Network Configuration

System Setup Requirements

• Windows™ operating system 7

• Java 7.07™ or newer

• Internet Explorer™, Firefox™, or Chrome™

• Ethernet connection

All UDS devices - PC, Router, and Panel - connect over Ethernet on a house network, or
within a stand-alone (direct) mode. The system will provide default IP address during
setup, or you can use unique IP addresses if required within your operation.

2-2 Network Configuration

UTAH-100/UDS Network Configuration

UTAH-100/UDS Network Configuration

New Configuration on Independent Network

This scenario consists of a router and a panel working in a stand-alone mode with one
or more PC to complete an independent, stand alone network.

Section 2

FIGURE 1. 

New configuration on an independent network is relatively simple, involving Ethernet
connection between the PC and devices (router and panel) only, as a stand alone
network. Simply connect all devices together as shown in Figure 1 for basic setup. In
this case you will only need to set the PC address to the same subnet as the router
and panel. This will facilitate applet operation and table configuration. The following
default IP addresses (below) ship from the factory. The numbers will be consecutive in
the case of multiple panels; i.e., .182, 183, etc.

Routers - 192.168.5.180
Panel - 192.168.5.181

To change the devices to use non default addresses, see New Configuration on an
Existing Network (next). Also note, the PC and devices (router and panel) must

occupy the same subnet.
tance if no default subnet appears.

1. All routers and panels require separate IP addresses.

Destination Reset Mode (checkbox)

The Destination Reset Mode checkbox (Dst reset mode) will control the
activity, or what happens immediately following the take. Specifically, when
checked, the Destination button itself is no longer selected (or highlighted)
after the Take is made. If not checked, the Destination button will remain
selected after the Take is made. This features allows the user to continually
make new selections and takes on the same button without having to reset
the button each time.

When the box is checked, you will need to select (or highlight) the Destination
on every instance prior to making a new Source indication. When the box is
unchecked you can continually make new Source selections without having
to re-highlight the Destination button (box) each time.

Multiple Destination Selection

You can select (or highlight) multiple Destination buttons, then select a
Source to simultaneously affect all selected destinations.

A series of Takes can be saved as a Macro while in the Preset mode.
Macros work like Salvos, but are saved to the PC where they are
configured and cannot be used system wide. To save a Macro, right click
on the Macro switch and select Save.

The Macro buttons allow you to save the take action prior to the actual
take being made. Macros can be customized by name, or edited as
needed. Macros work on a local basis at each control station.
