Configuration

Multiplexing

Figure 6

illustrates the various multiplexing functions available in the

8920MUX. The module can be used to delete or pass either:

All of the ancillary data in the SD input stream, or

One of the four audio groups (G1, G2, G3, or G4).

Figure 6. 8920MUX Multiplexing Options

The Insert function allows you to insert the AES/EBU input into any one of
the audio groups (G1 through G4). If the selected group is already occupied
in the stream, the appropriate yellow Insert LED at the front of the module
will flash to indicate an invalid operation and the insertion is not per-
formed.

The Replace function removes any data in the designated group and inserts
the module’s AES/EBU input signal in that group.

Note

Ancillary data space can be limited when using 24-bit audio. Refer to Using
Ancillary Space in the SMPTE standard.

Note

The 8920MUX inserts or replaces only one audio group. To change more than
one audio group in the SD stream, you can cable multiple modules in series
and configure each module to manipulate one of the four groups (see

Figure 7 on page 18

).

Note

The EDH Feed Forward bits from the incoming video for the Full Field and
Active Picture are ignored and set to No Error by the multiplexer IC.
