ADX-3981
3G/HD/SD 8 AES Audio & Metadata De-Embedder
The ADX-3981 is an advanced, high-quality audio processor which de-embeds up to eight AES signals at 48 kHz from a 3G/HD/SD video signal. The ADX-3981 can simultaneously process up to 32 channels of audio (16 channels from the embedded audio input plus others generated internally). Functions include downmixing, proc amp, mixing and loudness measurement.
FEATURES
Video
- 3G/HD/SD input
- Supports 3 Gb/s level A (mapping 1) and level B
- Audio/video de-glitcher to handle video hot switch at the input
- Automatic detection of input video loss and switchover to local gray for continuous audio/video output synchronization
- Flexible HD/SD reference using the internal URS frame reference
- Minimum processing delay of 8 µs, but additional delay can be added up to 15 frames
- Optional optical fiber module
Metadata
- AFD (SMPTE ST 2016), VLI (RP-186) and WSS insertion
- Linear timecode (LTC) embedding into DVITC (SD) or ATC (HD)
- Audio metadata insertion and extraction (SMPTE ST 2020-A)
- RS-422 serial data input and output to carry audio metadata
- 3 GPI I/O that can be inserted or extracted in the TC user bits. They can also be used for automation, user preset recall and loudness reset
