AERO.100 Specifications

Processing

• One or two instances of AEROMAX® real time adaptive wideband and/or multiband processing including an advanced ITU limiter (at least one instance required)

• UPMAX®-II 2-channel to 5.1-channel upmixing/downmixing with automatic detection and automatic downmix replacement

• Auto SAP replacement can send main program downmix to SAP channel when no SAP audio is present

Audio Encoding/Decoding

• Available Dolby® Digital/Dolby Digital Plus transcoding

• Available Nielsen® watermark encoding including N2, N6, and CBET

Reference

• 48kHz via AES DARS (or any AES signal applied to the Ref In connector), AES In 1, SDI, or from the internal 48kHz clock (standalone use only)

Sample Rate/Resolution/Frequency Response

• 48kHz, 24-bit, 20Hz to 20kHz below threshold

AES I/O

• Eight main inputs plus reference via 75-Ohm BNC female connectors. Eight main outputs plus encoder output. All digital inputs are 75 Ohm internally terminated, unbalanced. Signal levels per SMPTE
  276M/ AES-3ID-2001

HD/SD-SDI I/O

• Auto-sensing HD/SD-SDI (SMPTE 292M/259M) inputs, up to 1080i/60/59.94/50Hz. De-embed up to 16 channels from applied SDI signal, process and/or encode, re-embed up to 16 channels. Supports SMPTE 2020 A and B VANC metadata

Parallel GPI/O Control Port

• 25-pin female D connector, 0-5V TTL levels for 8 inputs and 8 outputs; controls simple preset recalls plus voiceover/EAS insertion

Serial Metadata Input

• 9-pin female D connector; 115.2 kbps; pinout per SMPTE 207M (RS-485); Designed to directly interface with Dolby serial metadata (SMPTE RDD6)

Ethernet
