SMP-AMxx Inputs
Audio Inputs
Analogue AND digital audio input capability
Analogue Up to 32 channels per card.
Digital Up to 32 AES3 (AES/EBU) pairs per card with SRC (32kHz-192kHz re-sampled to 48kHz).
NOTE: 32 AES3 pairs = 64 channels. Digital audio cards have twice the effective channel capacity of analogue cards because digital audio is transmitted as AES pairs comprising two discrete channels (though these are often just the left and right stereo components).
Input Formats
For AES transmission: 75ohm single ended terminations (unbalanced) are often used by consumer audio equipment and usually output via a phono socket. 100ohm differential terminations (balanced) are mainly used by professional audio sources and often output via a XLR socket.
AIPxxD/AIP32AD – The digital only and the analogue/digital combination audio input cards have user selectable balanced (100R)/unbalanced (75R) input terminations.
RMP-A32 Rear Interface Card
RMP-A32 This rear can be used for either audio inputs or outputs and is fitted with with two high density 44 way female ‘D’ connectors supporting a total of 32 audio channels (16 channels/connector). With the appropriate interface cable, the audio rear is capable of accepting analogue or digital audio signals.
RMP-A32 Connector
2 x High density 44-way D-type socket per RMP-A32 rear

SMP-AMxx Features
Audio meters (audio pips)
Audio pips can be configured up to a maximum of 512 (including video pips) with audio sources derived from the video inputs.
Embedded Audio on Outputs
SDI or HDMI outputs can be individually configured to include up to 4 pairs of embedded audio from any of the inputs.
Audio Monitoring Out
All audio sources are fed to a routing matrix and made available for metering, embedding into the video outputs and external monitoring. A 6.35mm stereo phono socket is mounted on the SMP-AMxx front panel for local monitoring of two channels of audio.
Alarms
Audio Carrier Loss, Audio Silence, Audio Over/Under threshold, Audio Phase Error, Audio mono
Alarm Outputs
Hard and Soft Alarm outputs Soft Outputs via LAN and/or SNMP
Audio Channel Names
The name of each audio channel can be edited, names entered will be displayed below the meter bars if the labelling for the meter is set to Text in the Edit Object Properties of the tile that the meter is in.
Clocks/Dates
Analogue and Digital Clocks with foreground and background colours. Date can be displayed with clocks. Clock/date display data can be derived from several sources; the system clock, NTP synchronisation, LTC, or VITC from a chosen SDI input. Time-zone and offset settings.
Battery Backup
A non-rechargeable battery ensures the time and date settings are retained if power is lost or the unit is powered down.
Genlock reference
BB/Tri-level sync nominal 1V pk-pk HD-BNC 75Ω
Time reference
LTC input or NTP (network protocol) Nominal 1V pk-pk HD-BNC High-Pass 47uF/1K ohm.
Idents
Idents, text boxes and any TrueType fonts. Any true-type font (ttf) can be installed to allow Unicode characters to be displayed correctly.
User Logo
PNG format with storage capacity up to 50MByte
