4. Tighten the screws after the main module is installed. CAUTION: If any of the screws for the rear plate are missing, please contact Evertz immediately for the specification and/or replacement. Using the incorrect screw can cause thread stripping. 2.3.2. Opening and Closing the Front Panel In order to insert or remove modules you will have to open the front panel using the following procedure: 1.
19” x 10.5” x 14.5” (483 mm x 260 mm x 368 mm) space, the EMX6-FR requires a 19” x 10.5” x 15.75” (483 mm x 260 mm x 400 mm) space, and the EMX3-FR requires a 19” x 5.25” x 15.75” (483 mm x 133 mm x 400 mm) space.
EMR User's Guide High Density Modular Audio Router (AES, Analog, MADI, TimeCode, Data) The EMX6-FR and EMX3-FR frames have additional fans mounted to the front door of the frame to provide additional cooling. CAUTION: For proper cooling, the frame must contain two 3000PS/EMX6-PS power supplies.
EMR User's Guide High Density Modular Audio Router (AES, Analog, MADI, TimeCode, Data) 2.6.2. Replacing the Power Supply Each power supply is a complete assembly, and includes the power supply cooling fan and one frame- cooling fan. In the event that the power supply or one of the fans malfunctions, you will need to replace the power supply assembly with a spare one while the failed assembly is being repaired.

CAUTION: The EMR frame is shipped with 10 Amp fuses rated for 100-120 VAC operation.
EMR User's Guide High Density Modular Audio Router (AES, Analog, MADI, TimeCode, Data) CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, grounding of the ground pin of the main plug must be maintained. 2.7.2. Turning the Power On and Off Each power supply is fitted with its own power switch.
® If there is a fuse failure, contact Evertz customer service regarding the power supply immediately. The power supplies are short circuit protected and should not blow the fuse under a short circuit condition.
Symbol: Black 2.9.2. Assembly Assembly or repair of the laser sub-module is done solely at the Evertz facility, and is performed only by qualified Evertz technical personnel. 2.9.3. Labeling Certification and Identification labels are combined into one label. As there is not enough room on the product to place the label, it is reproduced here in the manual.
Since the transmission characteristics of the fiber depend on the shape of the optical core, care must be taken to prevent fiber damage caused by heavy objects or abrupt fiber bending. Evertz recommends that you maintain a minimum bending radius of 5 cm to avoid fiber-bending loss that will decrease the maximum attainable distance of the fiber cable.

The EMX-FC is housed in a narrow slot underneath the left side or right side power supply in the EMX6- FR frame, and to the left of the right side power supply in the EMX3-FR frame. 3.3.1.

EMR User's Guide High Density Modular Audio Router (AES, Analog, MADI, TimeCode, Data) SYSTEM OVERVIEW 4.1. INTEGRATED AUDIO ROUTING The EMR audio routing system is a flexible, scalable system that provides the capability to route various audio formats without discretion. Depending on which input and output components are in the system, analog, AES and MADI audio can be routed from any source to any destination.
EMR User's Guide High Density Modular Audio Router (AES, Analog, MADI, TimeCode, Data) In the latest versions various EMR components are entirely using TDM. This system is very similar to the system described previously except the audio input card and audio output cards connect directly to the ADMX crosspoint module.
EMR User's Guide High Density Modular Audio Router (AES, Analog, MADI, TimeCode, Data) 4.1.2. Connecting to EQX for Embedded Audio Embedding/De-embedding In addition to standard AES, analog, and MADI audio routing, the EMR also provides an interface to route embedded audio using the EQX video router, providing a completely integrated audio routing solution. Using the EQX router with the EQX-IP16AD-H (3G)-2TDM audio de-embedder module and EQX- OP16AE-H (3G)-2TDM embedder module, embedded audio can be routed between the EQX and EMR platforms.

EMR User's Guide High Density Modular Audio Router (AES, Analog, MADI, TimeCode, Data) 4.1.5. Optional Audio Features The EMR audio components have several optional features that make the EMR a very powerful audio solution. Each of the components is described in the following sub sections. 4.1.5.1.
EMR User's Guide High Density Modular Audio Router (AES, Analog, MADI, TimeCode, Data) 4.2. TIME CODE ROUTING The EMR time code routing system utilizes the same TDM technology as the audio router to provide a flexible, high density time code routing solution. Unlike traditional time code routers that perform analog- to-digital and digital-to-analog conversions with a digital crosspoint, the EMR time code router uses time code decoding and encoding techniques.

Configuring the LTC Router To configure the LTC router in a system that does not have an ADMX crosspoint, each of the output cards must be given a specific Card ID to identify the sequence of destinations.
EMR User's Guide High Density Modular Audio Router (AES, Analog, MADI, TimeCode, Data) 4.2.2. Referencing the LTC Router A common video reference must be applied to all frames in which the LTC cards within a system are installed. This ensures that the TDM signal that is used to distribute the LTC signals is synchronized amongst all of the cards.

EMR User's Guide High Density Modular Audio Router (AES, Analog, MADI, TimeCode, Data) TROUBLESHOOTING THE EMR This section offers some basic guidance on how to debug the EMR system and provides some tools to facilitate the commissioning process. 8.1. TDM CONNECTIONS The most essential part of the EMR system is the various TDM connections.
EMR User's Guide High Density Modular Audio Router (AES, Analog, MADI, TimeCode, Data) Using the information from this, check that all expected signals are present and no errors have accumulated. If errors have accumulated then this is an indication of a bad connection to the rear plate, a bad wire, or excessive cable length.
EMR User's Guide High Density Modular Audio Router (AES, Analog, MADI, TimeCode, Data) 8.3.2. Verifying Output Signals from EMR Modules The EMR AES and analog output modules provide an internal tone generator that can be used to validate the hardware, rear plate connection, wiring and patch panel (if applicable) of the output path. By using the internal tone generator it is not necessary to prove the path to an input device and through the crosspoint.
