AMX-1842

HD/SD 4 AES Embedder

The AMX-1842 is a high-quality embedder which embeds up to four AES 24-bit 48kHz digital audio signals into a single HD/SD serial digital video signal. It includes audio and video signal presence detection and reporting, and local or remote configuration and control. A unique feature is its ability to embed timecode, a serial RS-422 data signal and two GPI status signals into the video signal. The card has built-in audio tone, timecode and video color bar test signals.

  • Continuity of embedded audio on loss of video input
  • 110 ohm balanced or 75 ohm unbalanced input
  • Input SRC to handle asynchronous audio
  • Audio channel gain selectable
  • Audio group insertion/bypass/delete
  • Selectable audio delay of up to 3 frames
  • Automatic mute on AES error
  • Selectable routing of AES signals
  • Left/right channels swappable
  • Dolby-E compatible
