Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Protection
Electrostatic discharge occurs when electronic components are improperly
handled and can result in intermittent failure or complete damage adversely
affecting an electrical circuit. When you remove and replace any card from a frame
always follow ESD-prevention procedures:
• Ensure that the frame is electrically connected to earth ground through the power cord
or any other means if available.
• Wear an ESD wrist strap ensuring that it makes good skin contact. Connect the
grounding clip to an unpainted surface of the chassis frame to safely ground unwanted
ESD voltages. If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching the unpainted
metal part of the chassis.
• For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap, which should
be between 1 and 10 megohms.
• When temporarily storing a card make sure it is placed in an ESD bag.
• Cards in an earth grounded metal frame or casing do not require any special ESD
protection.
Protection contre les décharges électrostatiques (DES)
Une décharge électrostatique peut se produire lorsque des composants
électroniques ne sont pas manipulés de manière adéquate, ce qui peut entraîner
des défaillances intermittentes ou endommager irrémédiablement un circuit
électrique. Au moment de remplacer une carte dans un châssis, prenez toujours les
mesures de protection antistatique appropriées :
• Assurez-vous que le châssis est relié électriquement à la terre par le cordon
d'alimentation ou tout autre moyen disponible.
• Portez un bracelet antistatique et assurez-vous qu'il est bien en contact avec la peau.
Connectez la pince de masse à une surface non peinte du châssis pour détourner à la
terre toute tension électrostatique indésirable. En l’absence de bracelet antistatique,
déchargez l’électricité statique de votre corps en touchant une surface métallique non
peinte du châssis.
• Pour plus de sécurité, vérifiez périodiquement la valeur de résistance du bracelet
antistatique. Elle doit se situer entre 1 et 10 mégohms.
• Si vous devez mettre une carte de côté, assurez-vous de la ranger dans un sac
protecteur antistatique.
• Les cartes qui sont reliées à un châssis ou boîtier métallique mis à la terre ne
nécessitent pas de protection antistatique spéciale.

Laser Safety - Fiber Output SFP and QSFP Modules Warning
LASER SAFETY
The average optical output power does not exceed 0 dBm (1mW) under normal operating
conditions. Unused optical outputs should be covered to prevent direct exposure to the
laser beam.
Even though the power of these lasers is low, the beam should be treated with caution
and common sense because it is intense and concentrated. Laser radiation can cause
irreversible and permanent damage of eyesight. Please read the following guidelines
carefully:
• Make sure that a fiber is connected to the board's fiber outputs before power is
applied. If a fiber cable (e.g. patchcord) is already connected to an output, make sure
that the cable's other end is connected, too, before powering up the board.
•Do not look in the end of a fiber to see if light is coming out. The laser wavelengths
being used are totally invisible to the human eye and can cause permanent damage.
Always use optical instrumentation, such as an optical power meter, to verify light
output.

EMC Performance of Cables and Connectors
Grass Valley products are designed to meet or exceed the requirements of the appropriate
European EMC standards. In order to achieve this performance in real installations it is
essential to use cables and connectors with good EMC characteristics.
All signal connections (including remote control connections) shall be made with screened
cables terminated in connectors having a metal shell. The cable screen shall have a large-
area contact with the metal shell.
SIGNAL/DATA PORTS
For unconnected signal/data ports on the unit, fit shielding covers. For example, fit EMI
blanking covers to SFP+ type ports; and fit 75 Ω RF terminators to BNC type ports.
COAXIAL CABLES
Coaxial cables connections (particularly serial digital video connections) shall be made with
high-quality double-screened coaxial cables such as Belden 8281 or BBC type PSF1/2M,
Belden 1694A (for 3Gbps), and Belden 4794A (for 12Gbps).
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference when the equipment is
operated in a commercial environment.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to
cause harmful interference in which case the user will be
required to correct the interference at his own expense.

Introduction
The UCP-3901 provides a hardware platform which can offer different functionality
depending on the software option loaded. These options are known as Software-Defined
Cores (SDCs), and can be purchased through a licensing mechanism and loaded as
operational needs demand.
UCP-3901 modules are also fully compatible with Grass Valley’s broadcast-centric IP routing
and network management solution, designed to migrate broadcasters from a traditional
baseband routing and control environment to new Hybrid SDI and IP work-flows.
The UCP-3901 currently supports on 25G or 50G networks:
• The Essence Processing (EP) SDC.
• The Multiviewer (MV) SDC.
• NMOS IS-04 discovery and registration with group hint tag support.
• NMOS IS-05 device connection management.
• In-band or out-of-band control of NMOS.
Essence Processing (EP) SDC
For SDI to IP gateway type applications. See Essence Processing SDC on page 45 for
information on how to configure this option.
• SDI IP Encapsulation and De-encapsulation:
• For 12G.
• SMPTE ST 2022-6, ST 2022-7, AES67 & ST 2110-20/30/40.
• Frame synchronizer.
• Audio sample rate conversion, shuffling & delay.
• Audio embedding and de-embedding.
Multiviewer (MV) SDC
The multiviewer comprises an advanced multiviewer for monitoring applications. It has 12
video inputs and up to 4 multiviewer head display outputs. Multiviewer video wall layouts
are designed using the Grass Valley Orbit software tool. The multiviewer SDC requires the
multiviewer license.
• Flexible configurations – 12 x 1 UHD (quad link) or 12 x 4 (3G).
• IP inputs.
• IP outputs and SDI HD-BNC copy outputs.
• Audio metering support.
• UMD and Tally support.

Status LEDs are located on the front card-edge of the UCP-3901 Card. The Densité LED is
visible through the front access door of the Densité frame. The remaining LEDs are unlit
until the SELECT button is pressed. These multi-color LEDs indicate the status of the
UCP-3901 Card by color, and by flashing/steady illumination.
