HyperMax Setup
The Ultrix™ router must be set up to support the HyperMax on the Software Defined Production Engine (SWR-SDPE) blade. This includes setup of the Ultripower units, DashBoard connections, the matrix database, and the Ultriscape Multi-Viewer.
Video Routing in Ultrix
Sources and destinations in the router must be connected to the inputs and outputs of the switcher.

HyperMax Setup
The Ultrix™ router must be set up to support the HyperMax on the Software Defined Production Engine (SWR-SDPE) blade. This includes setup of the Ultripower units, DashBoard connections, the matrix database, and the Ultriscape Multi-Viewer.
- HyperMax Hardware Setup
  The router and switcher components of HyperMax must be set up separately before they can work together.
- DashBoard Connection
  Ultrix™ has a separate ethernet connection to DashBoard and appears as a separate node in the DashBoard tree view.
- Video Routing in Ultrix
  Sources and destinations in the router must be connected to the inputs and outputs of the switcher.
  - HyperMax Video Flow
  - Ultrix™ Database Setup
    The router database is used to map switcher inputs and output to router sources and destinations. Each SDPE blade (ME) has dedicated input and outputs that must be added to the database so that they can be used by the router.
- Audio Routing in Ultrix™
  Audio is handled independently in the router and is separate from the switcher. You can output Media-Store and Clip Player audio.
- Aux Bus Router Sources
  Switcher aux buses need to be mapped to router sources and destinations so that video can be assigned to them.
- Ultriscape Multi-Viewer
  Some of the outputs from each ME are available as PiPs for the software defined Ultriscape MultiViewer in the router.
- Ultrix™ Ultricore BCS Setup
  If your router ecosystem uses an Ultricore BCS, the switcher requires the IP address of the Ultricore BCS to communicate with the router to switch aux buses.

HyperMax Video Flow

Video signals come into the router through the SDI IO blades and are passed from the router crosspoint as destinations that are available to the switcher as inputs. All inputs to the router are available to the each bus in the switcher. Video outputs from the switcher are then made available to the router as sources that can be routed to destinations. Unlike the inputs, the switcher cannot control which output on the router a video signal from the switcher is sent to. This routing is done by the router matrix.
