1 ADX-171p Miniature Analog Audio Demultiplexer
1.1 Introduction
The ADX-171p is a member of the picoLink family of miniature
products. The ADX-171p Analog Audio DEMUX is the world’s
smallest audio demultiplexer, packing both audio extraction and
20 bits quality D to A conversion in a very compact unit. The
ADX-171p can extract either AES pair from any of the 4 embedded audio groups in a 4:2:2 video stream. The full scale output
level (0 dBFS) can be set at 20, 22 or 24 dBU. The ADX-171p
provides a re-clocked serial digital output and is ideal for standalone monitoring and DEMUX application.

- Automatic 525/625 input detection
- 20-bit high-quality digital to analog audio conversion
- AES1/AES2 audio channel pair selection
- Selectable group 1,2,3 or 4 extraction
- Selectable +24 dBu, +22 dBu or +20 dBu output level range
(0 dBSF)
- Single stereo/2 monaural analog audio output
- Synchronous & asynchronous audio capability
- Valid input signal LED

2 Overall view
Figure 2.1 illustrates the ADX-171p major parts and their locations. The multiplexed signal is connected to the 4:2:2 IN BNC
and the re-clocked video signal is output through the OUT BNC.
The extracted audio channels are output through the two XLR
connectors; these connectors are labeled left and right for stereo
output.

3 Installation
3.1 Power Supply
The power supplies LKS-WSA and LKS-WSE, for 110V and 220V
operation respectively, are used to power the ASX-171p. Each
power supply provides a regulated +5VDC@750mA power
source. Plug the power supply into a wall or power bar outlet.
The ADX-171p uses a mini XLR-3 connector for its power needs;
figure 3.1 provides a detailed pinout of the male connector.

3.2 4:2:2 Input
Connect a 4:2:2 serial digital signal to the BNC labeled 4:2:2 IN.
The ADX-171p accepts a 4:2:2 serial digital video signal in either
525 or 625 lines format. The 4:2:2 signal must conform to the
SMPTE 259M-C standard.
Make sure that the 4:2:2 input signal cable has a maximum
length of 175 m (560’). Also ensure that all serial digital video
equipment are connected point-to-point. For instance, there
must be a point-to-point connection between the 4:2:2 IN BNC
and the source equipment. If a T-connector is used to connect
other equipment, the maximum specified cable length is no
longer valid.

the XLR connectors. Figure 3.2 provides a detailed pinout of the

4.1 Switch Settings
Figure 4.1 indicates the locations of the miniature switches at the
back of the ADX-171p.
Figure 4.1 ADX-171p Switches location
a c d
b
a- AES Selection
This slide switche selects the AES pair (pair 1 or pair 2) of audio
signal to extract.
b- Group Selection
Miniature slide switches provide group selection. Only one of the
4 groups should be switched On; in the event where more than
one group is switched On, the demultiplexing operation is performed by default on group 1. Switching all groups Off effectively disables all audio channels.
c & d- Level Attenuation
Each analog audio output level can be individually attenuated by
these slide switches. 3 levels of attenuation of the full scale output (0 dBFS) are provided: +20, +22 or +24 dBU.

4.2 Status LED
The bi-colored status LED, located next to the output cable, is
provided to identify any input error or power supply malfunction.
The following lists the possible situations:
Green: Indicates that the ADX-171p is powered and
has detected a valid 4:2:2 input signal.
Red: Indicates an error with the input signal has been
detected or simply, there is no input cable connected.
Off: The unit is not powered on. Check that it is
connected to the power supply, and the power
supply is properly connected to a power source.
