Overview
a cable equalized (up to 350m of input cable) and reclocked SDI output
(loop), and de-embeds the audio from the SDI stream.
In addition, the 6808 SDI-AES De-Embedder
:
De-embeds four audio channels
Provides de-embedded audio in digital AES/EBU audio format
Includes auto-detect 525/625 line format
Has a serial digital video input with active loop-through
Can be cascaded to de-embed up to 16 audio channels
Can be controlled via the GROUP SELECT dipswitches, that let you
select the audio group that you want to de-embed
Has LEDs that indicate when an SDI signal is being received and when
audio is being de-embedded from the video signal
3.2 About the 6809 SDI-AES Embedder
The high quality 6809 SDI-AES Embedder embeds digital AES/EBU audio
with serial digital video. It accepts a standard definition SDI source (270
Mbps), has a cable equalized (up to 350m of input cable) and reclocked SDI
output (loop), and embeds the audio into the SDI output stream.
In addition, the 6809 SDI-AES Embedder
:
Embeds four audio channels
Embeds digital AES/EBU audio with SDI
Includes auto-detect 525/625 line format and EDH insertion and generation
Has a serial digital video input with active loop-through
Can be controlled via the GROUP SELECT dipswitches, that let you
select the audio group that you want to embed
Has LEDs that indicate when an SDI signal is being received and when
audio is being embedded to the video stream
3.3 High Signal Quality Recommendations
To achieve the best performance:
Connect only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding interference,
deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels
(often associated with low quality cables)
Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may
adversely influence signal quality
Position your Kramer DigiTOOLS 6808 and/or 6809 away from
moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
