7821AE8-3G, 7821AE8-3G-AESD

3G/HD/SD-SDI 8 AES Audio Embedder with Dolby Metadata Inserter

VistaLINK® enabled Dolby Partner 3Gb/s enabled

The 7821AE8-3G Audio Embedder inserts up to 8 AES audio signals, on up to 4 groups, into a SMPTE 424M (3Gb/s), SMPTE 292M (1.5 Gb/s HD-SDI) or SMPTE 259M (270Mb/s SD-SDI) video signal as specified in SMPTE 299M or 272M respectively. The companion 7821AD8-3G Audio De-embedder facilitates audio demultiplexing at the destination.

The 7821AE8-3G supports 24-bit AES audio embedding for 3G/HD-SDI and 20-bit audio embedding into SD-SDI with fully compliant sample rate converters that automatically can be disabled when embedding Dolby streams.

Additionally, a full 16x16 audio channel router is available for channel mixing and/or shuffling. With the -AESD suffix applied (7821AE8-3G-AESD), the rear plate comes equipped with DIN connectors for direct AES connections, eliminating the use of a breakout cable.

VistaLINK® enables control and configuration capabilities via Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). This offers the flexibility to manage the module status monitoring and configuration locally or remotely.

Features

  • Audio embedding into a 3G/HD/SD-SDI video signal
  • Automatic detection of input video standard
  • Four serial video outputs (same standard as input)
  • By-pass relay protection for main program output
  • Supports 24-bit AES audio embedding for 3G/HD-SDI and 20-bit AES audio embedding for SD-SDI
  • Flexible 16x16 audio channel routing for channel shuffling and mixing
  • Dolby compliant with automatic sample rate conversion disable on AES inputs to permit seamless Dolby embedding
    • Dolby™ Metadata insertion via serial interface
    • AFD (Active Format Descriptor) Stamper as per SMPTE 2016
    • Card edge LEDs indicate video and audio signal presence and module fault
    • VistaLINK® capable for remote monitoring and control via SNMP (using VistaLINK® PRO) when installed with 7700FC Frame Controller
