1. Introduction
1.1 Module Description
The IQMUX32 is a dual 8-channel digital audio multiplexing for 3 Gbit/s SDI, HD-SDI
1.5 Gbit/s or SD-SDI 270 Mbit/s signals. Audio processing features include audio delay, gain,
invert and channel level routing, whilst video delay and a video processing amplifier are also
included in the feature set.

1.2 Order Codes
The following product order codes are covered by this manual.
1.3 Rear Panel View
IQMUX3248-2A(B)/IQMUX3248-2A(B)3
IQMUX3249-1A(B)/IQMUX3249-1A(B)3
Note:
Modules with “A” order codes (for example, IQMUX3248-2A)can be fitted into either A- or
B-style enclosures. Modules with “B” order codes (for example, IQMUX3248-2B)can only
be fitted into B-style enclosures. See page 7.

1.4 Enclosures
The module can be fitted into the enclosure types shown.
1.4.1 B-style Enclosure
Enclosure order codes: IQH3B-S-0, IQH3B-S-P
1.4.2 A-style Enclosures
Enclosure order code: IQH1A-S-P
Enclosure order codes: IQH3A-S-0, IQH3A-S-P
Enclosure order codes: IQH3A-E-0, IQH3A-E-P, IQH3A-0-0, IQH3A-0-P
Enclosure order code: IQH1A-S-P
Important:
Although IQ modules are interchangeable between enclosures, their rear panels are
enclosure specific. An IQH3B enclosure accepts modules with either “A” or “B” order
codes. An IQH3A or IQH1A enclosure accepts modules with “A” order codes only. See
page 6.

5.2 Video 1 / 2
The Video 1 / 2 screens enable you to specify the settings for the serial data input for
processing channels 1 and 2:
• Valid Input standards.
• The default output standard.
• Any required ancillary blanking.
• Freeze options and apply a manual freeze to the output image.
• The default output.Video delay settings
The settings on the Video 1 and Video 2 pages are identical.
5.2.1 Valid Input Standards
The Valid Input Standards check boxes specify the video input standards that the module will
accept. The module will automatically detect the standard of the received input and block any
signal that does not comply with these selected video formats.
By default, all input standards are selected.
5.2.2 Default Output
The Default Output control specifies the module’s output in the event of signal loss at the
input. Options are:
•Black: video out is a black screen
•Freeze: video output is frozen/paused
•Pattern: video output is a pre-determined test pattern or information screenDefault
Output Standard

5.2.3 Default Output Standard
The Default Output Standard settings specify the output standard that the module will use if
it cannot determine the correct output standard to use.
By default, the Last Known Good setting is selected, which uses the last valid output
standard.
5.2.4 Blanking
The Blanking controls enable specific lines of VANC to be blanked.
•625 blank lines: Applied to 625 only, you can blank either or both of line 23 or line
336.
•525 blank lines: Applied to 525 only, you can blank any or all of lines 21, 22, 283, or
284.
•Blank VANC: Selecting this option blanks the following lines inclusively:
All VANC data from the end of the last active video line to the end of the RP168 switch
line is always blanked, irrespective of this control.
•Blank HANC: Selecting this option removes all horizontal ancillary data including
audio when the embedders are disabled and the audio is unprocessed.
5.2.5 Freeze
The Manual Freeze control freezes/pauses the output. Freeze type can be specified as either
Field or Frame.
5.2.6 Horizontal Delay
The Horizontal Delay slider bar may be used to adjust the horizontal delay over a range of 0
to 1 line in 1 pixel steps. The preset value is 0.
If the delay is set to lower than the latency, the delay will stop at the latency but this will not be
indicated. Additionally, if the vertical delay is set to 0, the lowest horizontal delay will equal the
latency of the module rather than the delay specified by this control.
5.2.7 Vertical Delay
TheVertical Delay slider barto add up to 1 frame of vertical delay in steps of 1 line. The preset
value is 0.
5.2.8 Frame Delay Added
The Frame Delay Added slider may be used to add up to 3 additional frames of delay.
The delay of non-PCM audio, or ‘pass-through’ audio is also set by this control.
The delay, in ms, is displayed below this control.
525: 11 – 20, 274 – 282
625: 7 – 22, 320 – 335
720: 8 – 25
1080i: 8 - 20, 570 – 583
1080P: 8 – 41
Note:
This function is disabled on a power cycle of the module.
