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