Precautions
Important Safety Warnings
[Power]
Stop
Do not place or drop heavy or sharp-edged objects on power cord. A damaged cord
can cause fire or electrical shock hazards. Regularly check 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 power is disconnected. Capacitors associated with the power supply are
especially hazardous. Avoid contact with any capacitors.
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]
Caution
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
attempting to again operate unit.
[Consumables]
Caution
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,
they should be replaced at an early date. For details on replacing the consumables,
contact your dealer.

1. Prior to Starting
1-1. Welcome
Congratulations! By purchasing UFM-30MUX Digital Audio 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-30MUX, Digital Audio Multiplexer plug-in module is installed into a UF-106B or
UF-112 UFM Frame. The unit accepts 3G/HD/SD-SDI signal input and 8-ch
AES/EBU audio input and multiplexes the video and audio signals into an SDI
output. The AES 7/8 input port can also accept LTC signal by changing the switch
setting on the front panel. LTC input can be also embedded into the SDI output.
The UFM-3MUXAI optional analog input module for the UFM-30MUX is also installed into the
UFM frame. The unit converts analog input audio (4 stereo pairs) to digital audio
signals and embeds them into the SDI output stream from the UFM-30MUX.
1-2. Features
 Accepts an SDI stream and 4-pair (8ch) AES/EBU input and outputs the signal as an SDI
stream.
 Supports 3G/HD/SD-SDI.
 Maximum 32 ch audio source: 16 channels of SDI de-embedded audio, 8 channels of
AES/EBU input and 8 channels (4 stereo pairs) of optional analog input
 Free mapping of audio source channels to the SDI output on a per-channel basis (for
asynchronous channels on a per-group basis)
 Incorporates a Sampling Rate Converter for each AES/EBU input.
 Accepts timecode (LTC) input (using the LTC IN and AES 7/8 switchable input or LTC IN on
an optional module card).
 Allows input timecode to be overlaied onto the ANC area of SDI output.
 Relay bypass from SDI input to SDI output (when unit power is Off or set to Bypass)
 UFM-3MUXAI option modules provide analog audio input and indipendent LTC 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 connecting or operating your unit, read this operation manual
thoroughly to ensure you understand the product. Afterwards, it is important to keep this manual
in a safe place and available for reference.

3-1. Installing to a UFM frame
UFM-30MUX and UFM-3MUXAI modules are used by installing them into UF-106B or UF-112
UFM frames.
 UFM-30MUX
UFM-30MUX modules can be installed in any empty slot on UFM frames.
A UFM-30MUX module set consists of a front and rear module. Be sure to always install the
front and rear modules in the same slot positions.
 UFM-3MUXAI
Install a UFM-3MUXAI module set into the slot just below the UFM-30MUX slot.
(1) Attach the gasket supplied with the UFM-3MUXAI on the UFM-30MUX card as shown in the
figure below.
Then, connect the UFM-30MUX and UFM-3MUXAI front modules with the supplied flat cable.
Bend the flat cable as shown in the figure below.
Attach the gasket.

IMPORTANT
Make sure that when a UFM-3MUXAI is connected to the UFM-30MUX, the supplied
gasket is attached to the UFM-30MUX card.
(2) After connecting the flat cable, align the two module cards so that the pivot post on the
UFM-3MUXAI card is correctly inserted into the pivot hole of the UFM-30MUX card.
Insert the pivot post
into the long hole.

(3) Insert the two front modules into slots on a UFM frame by pinching the flat cable between two
card modules as shown below.
Pinch the flat cable
between two cards.
(4) A UFM-3MUXAI module set consists of a front and rear module. Be sure to install the front
and rear modules in the same slot positions.

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.

from analog audio signals using the Linear Pulse Code Modulation (LPCM) method.
NonPCM (non-linear) audio indicates digital audio data other than linear PCM audio and
includes compressed audio streams such as Dolby E or AC3.

9. Troubleshooting
If any of the following problems occur while operating your UFM-30MUX, proceed as indicated
below to see if the problem can be corrected before assuming a unit malfunction has occurred.
Problem
Cannot operate
the front panel
switches.
No video
displayed.
Check
Is the OPERATE/LOCK switch on the front
panel set to LOCK?
Set the switch to
OPERATE.
<SDI signal connection＞
Is an SDI signal present?
Verify the physical SDI
connection.
No SIG or CRC ERR is displayed under
[Status - SDI ERR]
(See section 6-6-1.)
<SDI signal format>
Is the SDI input format supported?
UNKNOWN is displayed under [Status Format].
(See section 6-6-2.)
<SDI signal format>
Are the [System - Format] setting (see section
6-5-3) and the SDI input format different?
Cannot map audio
channels.
Cannot map audio
per channel.
Action
Is [System - SDI BYPS (SDI BYPASS)] set to
Bypass?
(See section 6-5-1.)
Is [System - MIN DLY (MINIMUM DELAY)] set
to ON?
(See section 6-5-4.)
Is [Output - EMB THRU] set to Through?
(See section 6-3-1.)
Is an audio channel asynchronous?
"a" is displayed under [Status - SDI Sync]
(See section 6-6-4.)
"a" is displayed under [Status - AES Sync]
(See section 6-6-8.)
Strange or noisy
sound output (SDI)
Are asynchronous or non-PCM audio forcibly
assigned per channel?
(See sections 6-1-1 to 6-1-3.)
Cannot output
(embed) the
AES7/8 audio
input.
Cannot output
(embed) the LTC
signal, which is
input from AES7/8.
Is the AES/LTC switch on the front panel set to
LTC?
Is the AES/LTC switch on the front panel set to
AES?
Is [LTC- LTC MUX] set to Through?
(See section 6-4-1.)
35
Input a supported SDI
signal.
(See section 6-5-3. "TV
SYSTEM" for details on
supported TV
standards.)
Set [System - SDI Lock]
to Auto.
(See section 6-5-2.)
Or, set [System Format] to the SDI input
format.
(See section 6-5-3.)
Set to Operate.
Set to OFF.
Set to Embed.
Group audio mapping
is automatically
performed if an
asynchronous audio
channel is included in a
group.
Assign audio per group
if an asynchronous or
non-PCM audio
channel is included in a
group.
Set the switch to AES.
Set the switch to LTC.
Set to MUX.
