Precautions
Important Safety Warnings
[Power]
[Circuitry Access]
Stop
Do not touch any parts / circuitry with a high heatfactor.
Capacitors can retain enough electric charge to cause mild to serious shock, even
after power is disconnected. Capacitors associated with the power supply are
especially hazardous. Avoid contact with anycapacitors.
Hazard
Unit should not be operated or stored with cover, panels, and / or casing removed.
Operating unit with circuitry exposed could result in electric shock / fire hazards or
unit malfunction.
[Potential Hazards]
[Consumables]
The consumables used in unit must be replaced periodically. 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,
Caution they should be replaced at an early date. For details on replacing the consumables,
contact your dealer.
If abnormal smells or noises are noticed coming from the unit, turn power off
immediately and disconnect power cord to avoid potentially hazardous conditions. If
problems similar to above occur, contact authorized service representative before
Caution attempting to again operate unit.
Stop
Do not place ordrop heavyorsharp-edged objects on powercord. A damagedcord
can cause fire or electrical shock hazards. Regularly check power cord for
excessive wear or damage to avoid possible fire / electrical hazards.

1. Prior to Starting
1-1. Welcome
Congratulations! By purchasing UFM-30DEMUX Digital Audio De-multiplexer modules you
have entered the world of FOR-A and its many innovative products. Thank you for your
patronage and we hope you will turn to FOR-A products again and again to satisfy your video
and audio needs.
FOR-A provides a wide range of products, from basic support units to complex system
controllers,which have been increasingly joined by products for computer video-based systems.
Whatever your needs, talk to your FOR-A representative.We will do our best to be of continuing
service to you.
The UFM-30DEMUX, Digital Audio De-multiplexer plug-in module is installed into a UF-106B or
UF-112 UFM Frame. The unit accepts 3G/HD/SD-SDI signal input, de-multiplexes
audio signals and outputs them as AES/EBU digital audio. The de-embedded
audio channels can also be mapped into the SDI output. The AES 7/8 port can
also output LTC signal by changing the switch setting on the frontpanel.
The UFM-3DMXAO optional analog output module for the UFM-30DEMUX is also installed into
the UFM Frame. The unit converts de-embedded digital audio into analog audio
signals and outputs them as up to 4 analog stereo pairs.
1-2. Features
Inputs an SDI stream, and outputs an SDI stream and 4-pair (8ch)AES/EBU.
Supports 3G/HD/SD-SDI.
Able to assign 16 channels of SDI de-embedded audio into 8 channels of AES/EBUoutput.
Able to D/A-convert and assign 16 channels of SDI de-embedded audio into 8 channels of
analog output..
Able to remap SDI de-embedded audio into the SDIoutput.
Supports asynchronous SDI audio input (HD-SDI only).
Timecode (LTC)output (using the LTCand AES7/8 switchable output or LTCOUT on an
optional module card)
Relay bypass from SDI input to SDI output (when unit power is Off or set toBypass)
UFM-3DMXAO option modules provide analog audio output and indipendent LTCoutput.
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 connecting or operating your unit, read this operation manual
thoroughly to ensure you understand the product. Afterwards, it is important to keep this manual

3. Connection
3-1. Installing to a UFM frame
UFM-30DEMUX and UFM-3DMXAO modules are used by installing them into UF-106B or
UF-112 UFM frames.
UFM-30DEMUX
UFM-30DEMUX modules can be installed in any empty slot on UFMframes.
A UFM-30DEMUX module set consists of a front and rear module. Be sure to always install the
front and rear modules in the same slotpositions.
UFM-3DMXAO
Install a UFM-3DMXAO module set into the slot just below the UFM-30DEMUXslot.
(1)Attach the gasket supplied with the UFM-3DMXAO on the UFM-30DEMUX card as shown in
the figure below.
Then, connect the UFM-30DEMUX and UFM-3DMXAO front modules with the supplied flat
cable. Bend the flat cable as shown in the figurebelow.
IMPORTANT
Make sure that when a UFM-3DMXAO is connected to the UFM-30DEMUX, the
supplied gasket is attached to the UFM-30DEMUXcard.
(2)After connecting the flat cable, align the two module cards so that the pivot post on the
UFM-3DMXAO card is correctly inserted into the pivot hole of the UFM-30DEMUXcard.
Insert the pivot post
into the long hole.
Attach the gasket.
