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

1. Prior to Starting
1-1. Overview
The USF-1013MUX is a module type digital audio multiplexer to be mounted into a USF-212S
frame.
The USF-1013 MUX is a plug-in module. The USF-1013MUX multiplexes and outputs 3G-SDI
signal, HD-SDI signal or SD-SDI signal, and 8 channels (stereo 4 sets) of AES/EBU signal.
AES 7/8 input can be switched to LTC signal input and the input LTC (Time code) can be
embedded in SDI output.
1-2. Features
Multiplexes 4 pairs (8 channels) of AES/ EBU signals onto SDI signals
3G/HD/SD-SDI input and output x 1
Gain adjustment for audio input/ output
Timecode (LTC) input (AES7/8 switching)
Sample rate converter for AES/ EBU input
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 installing or operating your module, read this operation manual
thoroughly to ensure you understand the product. Afterwards, store this manual in a safe place for
future reference.

4-2. Synchronous / Asynchronous Audio Mapping
If audio source channels are synchronized with VIDEO, they can be freely mapped to SDI audio
output channels. If audio source channels are asynchronous, they are mapped on a per-group
basis.

IMPORTANT
If audio channels are mapped on a per-channel basis and some audio channels are changed
from synchronous to asynchronous during processing, the audio channels may play out
improperly or noisily. In such case, verify and remap the channels on a per-group basis.
After mapping, if there is no input on the first channel of a group (ch1, 5, 9, and 13), all channels
in the group are not embedded.
