1 ADX-102i/104i/108i AES/EBU Demultiplexer

1.1 Introduction

The ADX-102i/104i/108i is a very high-quality AES/EBU demultiplexer series. They
are designed to extract up to eight 24-bit digital audio signal pairs from a single
SMPTE 259M serial component digital video signal. The LTC output comes from
the sampled LTC. A delay of up to 6 fields can be added to the audio and the time
code to compensate for external system timing delays. The ADX-102i/104i/ 108i
series has a built-in audio test generator as well as automatic 525/625 input
detection. In addition, these modules supports full EDH monitoring.

Audio groups are normally embedded into the HANC area of the 4:2:2 signal per
SMPTE 272M. Miranda has expanded on this capability by permitting embedders
to be cascaded and to also embed audio groups into time slots in the active picture
area.

The ADX-102i/104i/108i are members of the imaging family of digital video
modules and therefore require the imaging Quartet-A-75, Quartet-A-110 or the
imaging Symphonie frame with Symphonie-R-CX, Symphonie-R-A75, Symphonie­R-A110 or Symphonie-R-AX rear modules, for mounting and power.

1.2 Features

• Serial digital 4:2:2 input with active loop-through

• Up to 8 AES/EBU outputs per module

• Up to 48 cascaded AES/EBU outputs

• Dolby E compatible

• Up to 24-bit digital audio

• LTC output

• Left/Right channel swapping

• Audio group selection

• Audio output muting

• Audio and TC selectable delay

• Built-in audio test signal

• EDH monitoring

2.2 ADX-102i/104i/108i Mechanical Installation

Due to its audio outputs, the ADX-102i/104i/108i must be mounted within Quartet­A-75 or Quartet-A-110 or Symphonie imaging frame using Symphonie-R-CX,
Symphonie-R-A75, Symphonie-R-A110 or Symphonie-R-AX rear modules. This
section describes how to install the ADX-102i/104i/108i in any of these frames. It
is not necessary to switch off the power from these frames when installing or
removing the ADX-102i/104i/108i.

2.2.1 Quartet-A-75 and Quartet-A-110 Frame

To install this module into the audio Quartet frames follow these steps. For a
closer look at module installation and removal, refer to the frame's Guide to
Installation and Operation.

1. Remove the frame's front panel by rotating the thumb screws counter­clockwise. Pull on the handles.

2. Select an empty slot.

3. Carefully place the ADX-102i/104i/108i between a set of module guides and
gently push the module towards the rear of the frame until the module's edge
connector is secured to the backplane. Pull lightly on the module verifying that
it does not move.

4. Replace the frame's front panel. Make sure to rotate the thumb screws
clockwise in order to secure it to the chassis.

2.2.2 Symphonie Frame

To install this module into the Symphonie housing frame, follow these steps. To
function, the ADX-102i/104i/108i requires the Symphonie-R-CX, -R-A75,-R-A110
or -R-AX rear module. For a closer look at module installation and removal, refer to
the frame's Guide to Installation and Operation.

1. Remove the front panel door by pulling on the door handles and gently
lowering it.

2. Select an empty slot.

3. Carefully place the module between the module guides and slowly push the
module towards the rear of the frame until the module's edge connector is
secured to its rear module. A light pressure to mate the connectors may be
required. Pull lightly on the module verifying that it does not move.

4. Replace the front panel door.
