• 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. Eight additional channels of auxiliary digital I/O on DB-25 female connector. 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.

Headphone Output

• 1/4’’ (6.35mm) front panel connector with volume control.

GPI/O

• Parallel GPI/O Parallel 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
