Quick Start Guide
UDM-1604C
4x16 Multi-Format Distribution Hub
Overview
The UDM-1604C 4x6 Multi-Format Distribution Hub (FG-UDM-1604C) delivers any
video source, including Component, RGB, VGA and S-Video to a virtually unlimited
number of display devices. The UDM-1604C (FIG. 1) supports 4 high-resolution input
ports and 16 UDM output ports, and supports multiple methods of delivering sync
information between the UDM hub and the display device, including common mode.
In total, the UDM-1604C can distribute any combination of the following:
4 RGBHV sources, 4 Component video sources, 4 S-Video sources or 12 Composite
video sources.
Source inputs to the UDM are industry standard VGA, Composite, Component or
S-Video feed, and output is presented as an RJ45 port for connection to Cat5/5e/ 6
twisted-pair Ethernet cable.
Video inputs are connected via the HD15 Input connector on the rear of the UDM.
Adapters are used to bring the different types of video source into the UDM.
Each UDM has an Ethernet network port to provide connectivity to a central
management system, or can be controlled by the onboard configuration pages. A
Serial connection is also provided for CLI administration and diagnostic purposes.
Refer to the
UDM-1604C Multi-Format Distribution Hub Operation/Reference Guide
(available online at
www.amx.com
) for detailed information on configuring the Hub,
UDM receivers and source devices.

Product Specifications
Audio & Video Formats/Resolutions/Distance
Note
: The maximum distances indicated above are not absolute, but are
recommended distances that have been tested to deliver video at the specified
resolutions, without significant signal degradation. In particular, lower resolutions
(640 x 480, 720 x 480 and 800 x 600) can often be delivered significantly further than
what is indicated in the table. Refer to the UDM-1604Operation/Reference Guide for
additional details on maximum cable distances.
A/V Source Input Connectors
There are 4 sets of input connectors to the rear panel of the UDM-1604C, labelled A-D
(see FIG. 1) that allow the UDM-1604C to connect to A/V source devices.
Connecting a VGA Video Input
1.
Connect one end of a VGA cable to the source device’s VGA output port.
2.
Attach the other end of the cable to the appropriate VIDEO IN connection on the
UDM. For example, connect to the Video In connection on Input A of the Hub.
3.
Connect any audio to the analog (RCA) audio connectors or digital (SPDIF)
connector.
Note
: Ensure the UDM Hub port the RX01/RX02 is attached to is configured cor-
rectly within the Hub’s configuration software. Also ensure the correct Audio
Type (Analog L/R, S/PDIF, or None) is selected for the relevant input.
Connecting a Composite Video Input
1.
Connect the UDM-HD15RCA3F Breakout Cable (FG-HD15RCA3F, not
included) to the source device’s Composite output ports:
A1 = red RCA
A2 = green RCA
A3 = blue RCA
2.
Attach the other end of the cable to the appropriate VIDEO IN connection on the
UDM.
3.
Connect any audio to the analog (RCA) audio connectors or digital (SPDIF)
connector.
Connecting a Component Video Input
1.
Connect the UDM-HD15RCA3F Breakout Cable (FG-HD15RCA3F, not
included) to the video source device’s Component video output connectors
(Red, Green and Blue).
2.
Attach the other end of the cable to the appropriate VIDEO IN connection on the
UDM.
3.
Connect any audio to the analog (RCA) audio connectors or digital (SPDIF)
connector.
Connecting an S-Video Input
1.
Connect the UDM-SVID01 HD-15 to SVideo cable (FG-UDM-SVID01, not
included) to the video source’s S-Video connection.
2.
Attach the other end of the cable to the appropriate VIDEO IN connection on the
UDM.
3.
Connect any audio to the analog (RCA) audio connectors or digital (SPDIF)
connector.
