Chapter 1: Introduction

Overview

Features

The HD10AMA is a dual rate 4 channel analog audio Embedder/Disembedder. The Disembedder is always functional providing 4 outputs. The Embedder is user selectable, on a channel pair basis, to either “pass” input audio or embed input audio from the breakout cable. Analog audio levels are selectable. The HD10AMA automatically detects and configures to the input video standard.
• Dual rate HD-SDI/SDI Embedder/Disembedder
• 4 Channel Balanced Analog Audio I/O
• Supplied XLR breakout cable
• HD/SD SDI input, 2 HD/SD SDI outputs
• Dipswitch configuration
• Uses universal input +5V power supply AJA model DWP-U-R1 (included)

The HD10AMA has an 8-switch DIP accessible through a cut-out in the bottom of the unit. The DIP switches are used to configure how the unit’s audio embedding and disembedding functions, and adjust audio levels.
The HD10AMA also has a jumper on the internal circuit board, accessible by removing the outer shell case of the HD10AMA, used in conjunction with the DIP switches 1 and 2 to select certain functions.

Installation

The combination of the AUX jumper setting and the DIP switch settings determines the overall operation of the HD10AMA.
The exact functions of the DIP switch and the jumper settings are described in
“Operation” on page 8.
Typically, HD10AMA installation consists of the following:
1. Disconnect +5VDC from the converter.
2. Set the DIP switches and, if necessary, the internal jumper, for the desired equipment
configuration.
3. Connect video equipment to the converter BNCs.
4. Connect the breakout audio cable to the converter.
5. Connect audio equipment to the breakout cable (see Figure 1 for pinouts).
6. Apply power to the converter.

Internal Aux Jumper

The AUX Jumper inside the HD10AMA case is used to pass or delete all incoming ancillary data packets in both the horizontal and vertical ancillary data spaces. In the default position (OPEN), ancillary data packets are preserved and passed through whenever possible (i.e., when audio packets for that group are not being embedded). This jumper setting affects the functions of DIP switches 1 and 2.
To change this setting, open the case by removing the four Phillips screws that fasten the back half of the case shell (the half having the DIP switch access hole).

DIP Switches

The HD10AMA DIP switches configure the audio embedding and disembedding functions, and adjust audio levels.
