Overview
3 Overview
The Kramer 6809HD HD1 / SD2-SDI AES Embedder is a broadcast quality
audio embedder for serial digital video.
The 6809HD:
Accepts a standard definition/high definition SDI source (270Mbps/1.5Gbps)
Has an equalized and reclocked SDI output, and embeds the audio to the
SDI stream
Embeds up to four audio signals (two stereo inputs) of AES-3id audio
Auto-detects SD/HD3 video formats
Can be controlled via the group select dipswitches, letting you select the
audio group to which 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
Is 12VDC fed
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 and position your Kramer DigiTOOLS
6809HD away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
Caution – No operator-serviceable parts inside unit.
Warning – Use only the Kramer Electronics input power
wall adapter that is provided with this unit4.
Warning – Disconnect power and unplug unit from wall
before installing or removing device or servicing unit.
1 High Definition (HD) means a video format, consisting of 720 active lines of progressive video or 1080 lines of progressive
or interlaced video
2 Standard Definition (SD) means an NTSC or PAL compatible video format, consisting of 480 (for NTSC) or 576 (for PAL)
lines of interlaced video
3 The VIDEO LED lights in green when an SD signal is detected and in blue when an HD signal is detected
4 For example: model number AD2512C, part number 2535-000251

Connecting the 6809HD HD/SD-SDI AES Embedder
5 Connecting the 6809HD HD/SD-SDI AES Embedder
To connect the 6809HD HD/SD-SDI AES Embedder, as illustrated in the
example in Figure 2, do the following1:
1. Connect an SDI source (for example, an HD/SD digital video player) to
the SDI IN BNC connector.
2. Connect the SDI OUT BNC connector to an SDI and AES-3id acceptor.
3. Connect an AES digital audio source (for example, DAT-Player A) to the
AES INPUT A BNC connector (for channels 1-2).
4. Connect an AES digital audio source (for example, DAT-Player B) to the
AES INPUT B BNC connector (for channels 3-4).
5. Set the GROUP SELECT dipswitches to choose the audio group (see
section 5.1).
6. Connect the 12V DC power adapter to the power socket and connect the
adapter to the mains electricity (not shown in Figure 2).

Each group includes four audio channels (or two stereo audio channels).
These channels can be assigned to a group. You can set the GROUP SELECT
dipswitches to choose the audio group. For example, to choose audio group 3,
set DIP 3 OFF and the remaining DIPs ON. Table 2 defines the GROUP
SELECT dipswitches.

Cascading 6809HD Machines
6 Cascading 6809HD Machines
You can cascade up to four interconnected 6809HD SDI-AES Embedder units
to create four streams of AES, each stream containing two digital audio
channels (see Figure 4).
To cascade four 6809HD units, do the following:
1. On each 6809HD unit, connect the A and B AES INPUTS.
2. Connect an SDI source to the SDI IN BNC connector on the 6809HD
unit # 1 and interconnect1 the four 6809HD units.
3. Connect the SDI OUT BNC connector on the 6809HD unit # 4 to an
SDI+AES-3id acceptor.
4. On each 6809HD unit, set the GROUP SELECT dipswitches to choose
the audio group (see section 5.1).
5. On each 6809HD unit, connect a 12V DC power adapter to the power
socket and connect the adapter to the mains electricity.
1 Connect the SDI OUT BNC connector on unit # 1 to the SDI IN BNC connector on unit # 2; connect the SDI OUT BNC
connector on unit # 2 to the SDI IN BNC connector on unit # 3; and connect the SDI OUT BNC connector on unit # 3 to the
SDI IN BNC connector on unit # 4
