SDPE Installation

The Software Defined Production Engine (SDPE) provides the hardware resources for a MaxME, MaxMini, or MaxScene in the HyperMax switcher. If you are installing a new SDPE blade into the system you must set up the blade in MaxConfig.

To install the SDPE blade you must power off the frame, remove any existing blade from the slot, install the SDPE blade, and power on the frame.

Important:

The CPU must be installed in the Ultrix FR5 for the switcher to operate.
