ADX-1901

3G/HD/SD 8 Channel Analog Audio De-Embedder

The ADX-1901 is an advanced, high-quality 24-bit 48 kHz analog audio de-embedder designed to extract eight analog audio signals from a 3G/HD/SD video signal. The ADX-1901 can process the eight audio de-embedded channels with functions including level, channel shuffling and mixing. The loudness measurement features provide for the measurement and logging of up to eight audio programs with iControl Loudness Monitoring software to analyze and report compliance with respect to various loudness legislation around the world.  Additionally, a delay of up to 2.7 seconds can be programmed independently per de-embedded audio channel to provide lip sync correction.

FEATURES

Audio
  • 8 analog audio outputs
  • Audio silence output on loss of video input
  • Full audio shuffling and mixing on a channel output basis
  • Individually adjustable audio output level
  • Audio 5.1 surround downmix to Lo/Ro
  • Audio delay adjustments of up to 2.7 seconds to compensate for lip sync issues
  • Built in test generator (audio)
  • Monitoring and reporting of audio output max/min level, silence and phase
  • Loudness measurement of up to 8 audio programs and logging with iControl Loudness Monitoring software
  • Loudness compliant to EBU R128-2014, ATSC A/85:2013 and ARIB TR-B32 (ITU-R BS.1770-3)

 

Video
  • 3G/HD/SD input with automatic equalization
  • Supports 3G level A (mapping 1) and level B
