Bulkhead breakout panels (BHP) provide a convenient way of connecting audio and auxiliary input and output signals to the VIP™ module. BHP's may be outfitted with BNCs and/or terminal strips, extending AES, GPI/O, Tx/Rx, Analog Audio and GND connections as described below. BHPs occupy ½RU, 1RU, 2RU or 3RU of rack space and are designed for mounting at the rear of the rack panel. BHP are included with specific line item order options as defined below.

The 7767BHP-BAUX provides terminal blocks for mappable balanced analog audio inputs to the VIP™ module. In addition, this breakout panel is also outfitted with the complete set of 20 GPI, 8 GPO, LTC differential inputs, serial ports (RS-232/422) and one group of AES outputs. It is possible to provide up to 4 unbalanced AES/EBU inputs per video input channel on the VIP™. The breakout panel replaces the 7767BHP-AUX.
