16-Channel 3G-SDI Digital Audio Embedder / De-Embedder (AES)
Available Again: JAN 2024
The PDM 5280 is a versatile 16 channel (8x AES) audio embedder and de-embedder, which can be used to address a variety of audio issues in broadcast. The module offers multiformat support for 3G-SDI formats up to 1080p60.
The module can be switched between a 16 channel embedder or 16 channel de-embedder, or a combination of both. 16 channels of audio are also de-embedded from the input SDI signal and passed into the audio processing stage. In embedder mode, 16 channels of external audio are passed into the audio processing stage. Audio processing includes adjustable gain, phase invert and mute for all 32 channels as well as a selectable mono mix-down function for each left and right pair.
The processed audio is passed onto a 32 x 32 output crossbar where the audio for the embedder and the external outputs can be user mapped.
The module also provides up to 62 frames of programmable output delay adjustable in frames, lines and pixels.
Remote control, status monitoring and error reporting is possible with the LYNX APPolo Control System.
NOTE: The use of the Lynx Centraal control system is mandatory for this module. If installed in a RFR 5012 chassis please make sure a rack controller (RCT 5023 G) is installed in the rack.
