MD-ED44 is a 4 channel in, 4 channel out, AES/EBU digital audio embedder and de embedder capable of performing both tasks simultaneously.
Operates with 3G, HD and SD SDI signals auto detecting the input standard and accommodating the internal response to the input format and frequency.
In the Embedding mode digital audio input is inserted into the SDI signal according to the detected standard; meanwhile, in the de embedder mode it is extracted and converted to AES/EBU maintaining the same resolution in both cases.
Prior to the insertion and extraction processes the SDI input signal is equalized to compensate up to 140 meters (3G), 200 meters (HD) or 400 meters (SD) of high performance cable losses and reclocked to minimize its jitter.
There is a versatile routing matrix prior to the embedding stage in order to allow different available audio sources (either the present at the inputs or the already embedded in the incoming SDI stream) to be inserted into any group and pair according to the user’s requirement.
To compensate for eventual Lip Sync issues each audio pair can be delayed independently; mSec or video field steps can be chosen through the menu.
As all members of our modular line, for full operation, this unit has to be plugged into one AE-MFx series main frame, occupying one of the five available slots.
