Introduction
9502-DCDA Functional Description
Audio Processor Description
The audio processor operates as an internal audio router. This function
chooses from the following inputs:
•
16 channels of embedded audio from the SDI video input (1-to-1
routing to SDI output)
The router function provides the following audio outputs:
•
16 channels of embedded audio on SDI processed outputs
•
16 channels of AES de-embedding on eight AES outputs pairs
Note:
Although card de-embedding supports de-embedding to AES pairs 1 thru 8,
current rear module options support output only to pairs 1 thru 4.
The processor function provides group enable/disable and de-embedding of
the 16-channel embedded audio SDI input.
Audio Down Mix Function
(See Figure 1-3.) The Audio Down Mixer function provides for the selection
of any five embedded channels serving as Left (
L
), Right (
R
), Center (
C
), Left
Surround (
Ls
), and Right Surround (
Rs
) individual signals to be multiplexed
into stereo pair Down Mix Left (
DM-L
) and Down Mix Right (
DM-R
). The
resulting stereo pair
DM-L
and
DM-R
can in turn be routed to any embedded
audio pair as desired (or de-embedded to an AES audio output).
