Complete solution
The SMP-AM-xx is a 1RU modular chassis with 6 modular slots, 2 of which are reserved for the Network and Control output cards. Audio input or output cards are available for the other 4 slots. Up to 2 independent dual output MultiViewer instances can be added to the 1RU SMP-xx frame.
The SMP-AM-xx allows up to 256 channels of embedded audio to be displayed as international standard bargraphs with a choice of scales/ballistics and a Loudness display including BBC PPM, DIN PPM, Nordic PPM, VU, Extended VU and AES/EBU
digital.
Audio Input Cards:
External audio can be input to the frame using specific audio
input cards available in three formats:
- AIPxxA - analogue only audio input card (up to 32 channels)
- AIPxxD - Digital only audio input card (up to 32 AES/EBU pairs) with sample-rate conversion for maximum flexibility
- AIP32AD - Analogue and digital audio input cards (up to 32 channels/AES/EBU pairs)
Audio output cards:
External audio output is provided by installing AES digital audio output cards.
output cards:
- AOPxxD - digital output card that can support up to 32 AES/EBU pairs
Digital audio cards have twice the effective channel capacity of analogue cards because analogue audio is transmitted as AES pairs comprising two discrete channels (though these are often just the left and right stereo components).
Multiple instances of these audio input cards may be installed, please see configuration rules for optimum placement of audio input cards in the multiviewer chain.

SDI Inputs
Audio Inputs
Analogue AND digital audio input capability
Analogue Up to 32 channels per card.
Digital Up to 32 AES3 (AES/EBU) pairs per card with SRC (32kHz-192kHz re-sampled to 48kHz).
NOTE: 32 AES3 pairs = 64 channels. Digital audio cards have twice the effective channel capacity of analogue cards because digital audio is transmitted as AES pairs comprising two discrete channels (though these are often just the left and right stereo components).
Input Formats
For AES transmission: 75ohm single ended terminations (unbalanced) are often used by consumer audio equipment and usually output via a phono socket. 100ohm differential terminations (balanced) are mainly used by professional audio sources and often output via a XLR socket.
AIPxxD/AIP32AD – The digital only and the analogue/digital combination audio input cards have user selectable balanced (100R)/unbalanced (75R) input terminations.
RMP-A32 Rear Interface Card
RMP-A32 This rear can be used for either audio inputs or outputs and is fitted with with two high density 44 way female ‘D’ connectors supporting a total of 32 audio channels (16 channels/connector). With the appropriate interface cable, the audio rear is capable of accepting analogue or digital audio signals.
