UDM-1604C 4x16 Multi-Format Distribution Hub
Configuring Cascaded Audio
Any audio inputs that are checked as Cascade in the Inputs page will replace the available audio inputs
on the Target Hub.
Options in the Hub’s WebConsole (Inputs page), allow you to define which Video and Audio inputs on
each UDM Hub are Local (connected directly to the Hub) and which are Cascaded from another Hub
(FIG. 114).
To configure one or more audio inputs as cascaded inputs;
1. In the WebConsole, click on the Inputs option.
2. Under Audio, click the Cascade checkbox for each cascaded audio input that this Hub will receive
via the CASCADE IN port (FIG. 114).
3. For each audio input (including cascaded audio inputs), select the type of audio (analog or digital)
being received in each Input port from the Type drop-down menus.
Example 1 - Cascading One Hub
In this system there is a Master Hub, and one Target (or "slave") Hub.
While the Inputs for UDM-1604C Hubs are physically labelled A, B, C and D on the rear panel, they can
be renamed via the Name field in the Inputs page. It is recommended that you rename the ports on the
Master and Target Hubs to make it easy to tell which between the ports are on the Master and which the
ports are on the Target Hub.
For this example:
 The inputs on the Master Hub have been named "A", "B", "C" and "D".
 The inputs on the Target Hub have been named "E", "F", "G" and "H" (FIG. 115).
