Chapter 1: Introduction
Overview
The HD10AM is a dual rate 8 channel AES audio Embedder/Disembedder. The
Disembedder is always functional, outputting group 1 and 2—or 3 and 4 (user
selectable) when present on the input SDI. This is independent of the embedding
process. The Embedder is user selectable, on a channel pair basis, to either “pass” SDI
input audio or embed input AES audio from the breakout cable. The ability to pass
incoming ancillary data makes it possible to embed up to 16 channels of audio by
cascading two units: the first embedding to groups 1/2, and the second embedding to
groups 3/4—or vice versa. It also means that any ancillary data packets in compliance
with SMPTE 291M will be passed through as-is.
With the SRC DIP switch setting ON, AES inputs are sample rate converted to a 48KHz rate
synchronous to the video input.
The HD10AM automatically detects and configures to the input video standard. The Lock
LED glows red for HD and green for SD formats.
With the SRC DIP switch setting OFF, data packets are passed from the AES inputs to
embedded ancillary packets un-altered. This is done according to SMPTE 337M. 48KHz
synchronous ancillary packets are disembedded and passed unaltered to the AES
outputs regardless of the position of the SRC DIP switch.
All AES3-2003 defined channel status bits are passed through unaltered in both the
embed and dis-embed directions—except for the sample rate field, which is always set
to 48KHz. The channel status CRC is re-calculated and inserted into the bitstream. This
ability, along with a very small audio embed/disembed latency, ensures 100 percent
compatibility with Dolby® bitstreams.

HD10AM I/O Connections
User Controls
The HD10AM has an 8-switch DIP accessible through a cut-out in the bottom of the unit.
The DIP switches are used to configure the unit’s audio embedding and disembedding,
and control ancillary data.
Factory default switch settings are all in the leftmost position.
The exact functions of the DIP switches are described in “Operation” on page 9.

Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized
plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two
blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided
for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician
for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
Avertissement! La sécurité de la prise polarisée ou de la prise de type mise à la terre
ne doit en aucun cas être empêchée de fonctionner. Une prise polarisée a deux
broches, l'une étant plus large que l'autre. Une prise de type mise à la terre a deux
broches et une troisième broche pour la mise à la terre. La broche large ou la
troisième broche sont fournies pour votre sécurité. Si la prise fournie ne s'insère pas
dans votre prise femelle, consultez un électricien pour le remplacement de la prise
femelle obsolète.
Warnung! Der Sicherheitszweck des gepolten bzw. Schukosteckers ist zu
berücksichtigen. Ein gepolter Stecker verfügt über zwei Pole, von denen einer breiter
als der andere ist. Ein Schukostecker verfügt neben den zwei Polen noch über einen
dritten Pol zur Erdung. Der breite Pol bzw. der Erdungspol dienen der Sicherheit.
Wenn der zur Verfügung gestellte Stecker nicht in Ihren Anschluss passt, konsultieren
Sie einen Elektriker, um den veralteten Anschluss zu ersetzen.
¡Advertencia! No eche por tierra la finalidad del tipo de enchufe polarizado con
conexión a tierra. Un enchufe polarizado tiene dos espigas, una más ancha que la
otra. Un enchufe con conexión a tierra tiene dos espigas iguales y una tercera espiga
que sirve para la conexión a tierra. La expiga ancha, o la tercera espiga, sirven para su
seguridad. Si el enchufe suministrado no encaja en el tomacorriente, consulte con un
electricista para reemplazar el tomacorriente obsoleto.
Aviso! Não anule a finalidade da segurança da ficha polarizada ou do tipo ligação
terra. Uma ficha polarizada tem duas lâminas sendo uma mais larga do que a outra.
Uma ficha do tipo de ligação à terra tem duas lâminas e um terceiro terminal de
ligação à terra. A lâmina larga ou o terceiro terminal são fornecidos para sua
segurança. Se a ficha fornecida não couber na sua tomada, consulte um electricista
para a substituição da tomada obsoleta.
Avviso! Non compromettere la sicurezza della spina polarizzata o con messa a terra.
Una spina polarizzata ha due spinotti, di cui uno più largo. Una spina con messa a
terra ha due spinotti e un terzo polo per la messa a terra. Lo spinotto largo o il terzo
polo sono forniti per motivi di sicurezza. Se la spina fornita non si inserisce nella presa
di corrente, contattare un elettricista per la sostituzione della presa obsoleta.
