Crystal Vision Introduction
1 Introduction
The TANDEM HD-21 is a High Definition video 24 bit two group audio analogue or digital
embedder/de-embedder. It can be configured with two sub-PCB option cards to provide any of
a number of possible functions at once, such as:
•De-embed, audio process, re-embed
•Embed digital or analogue audio into two groups
•De-embed and output digital or analogue audio from two groups
•Embed digital or analogue audio in one group whilst you de-embed and output
digital or analogue audio from a second group
In addition to embedding and de-embedding two audio groups, TANDEM HD-21 incorporates
a number of powerful features. For example, a built-in audio delay is provided to compensate
for video processing, analogue monitoring can be used to preview sources and audio quality is
ensured with forward error correction. TANDEM HD-21 also has a switchable one frame
video delay useful for matching Dolby E audio delays.
Control is available from the card edge, active control panels or by serial control from
Statesman, a dedicated software application.
The main features are as follows:
•HD/SD capable
•De-embeds and re-embeds two audio groups
•Extensive Dolby E handling
•Built-in multi-channel digital audio delay
•Independent audio gain controls
•HANC blanking option
•Audio source preview monitoring
•EDH insertion
•Audio replacement
•Channel swapping/shuffling
•Stereo to mono conversion
•One frame video delay for handling Dolby E
•Control and status monitoring via board edge, frame/remote control panel
or Statesman
•Analogue and AES audio input/output sub-PCBs
•Audio forward error correction protection in de-embedders – handles untimed
or asynchronous SDI with minimum corruption
•GPI control of configuration set-ups
TANDEM HD-21 has a single video signal path with two de-embedders and two embedders,
which allow the extraction and insertion of up to two groups (eight channels) of audio.
Additional sub-PCBs further increase the number of audio channels available for selection to
re-embed to 16. Analogue, AES and Dolby E audio formats can be handled simultaneously,
TANDEM HD-21 User Manual R1.6 312/11/2012

Crystal Vision Introduction
although care must be taken not to disrupt the integrity of any Dolby E data by inappropriate
routing or gain manipulation.
TANDEM HD-21 automatically inserts EDH information on its SDI output. HANC blanking
is also implemented either automatically or by selection.
TANDEM HD-21 block diagram
Functions include audio shuffling, video delay, gain compensation and audio replace.
There are two positions available on the TANDEM HD-21 for fitting optional sub-PCBs. The
rear position 1 is associated with inputs 9-12 and outputs 1-4. The front position 2 with inputs
13-16 and outputs 5-8.
An 18-Volt regulator option card is also required when using analogue input or output cards.
The available option cards are:
•HD-DIP2 – 2 x AES/EBU/Dolby E inputs for synchronous 48kHz audio, 75
ohm, 110 ohm, HiZ
•HD-DIP2-RS – 2 x AES/EBU inputs with re-sampler for asynchronous audio
(30 to 108kHz), 75 ohm, 110 ohm, HiZ
•HD-DOP2-110 – 2 x AES/EBU/Dolby E outputs, 110 ohm balanced
•HD-DOP2-75 – 2 x AES/EBU/Dolby E outputs, 75 ohm unbalanced
•HD-AIP2 – Analogue dual stereo audio input
•HD-AOP2 – Analogue dual stereo audio output

2 Hardware installation
The TANDEM HD-21 single slot module uses the single height RM33 and dual height RM39
rear connectors that will fit into all Crystal Vision rack frames. All modules can be plugged in
and removed while the frame is powered without damage.
2.1 Module configuration
The TANDEM HD-21 has positions available for mounting three sub-PCBs. Two of these can
be any of the six available audio PCBs. The third position is for the ±18V regulator needed
when any analogue sub-PCB is fitted.

2.2 Sub-module link settings
HD-AOP2
The analogue audio output module provides two stereo pairs or four mono outputs that may be
used as destinations when routing de-embedded signals. Link jumpers are provided to allow
0dBFS to be set to +18dBu or +24dBu. The variable adjustments on the card are set at the
factory and should not require re-adjustment. Set channel 1 with PL1/P1, channel 2 with
PL2/P2, channel 3 with PL3/P3 and channel 4 with PL4/P4.
HD-AOP2
Selectable jumper links are provided to change input and reference terminations and pre-set
levels, depending on sub-module features.
HD-AIP2
The analogue audio input module provides two stereo pairs or four mono signals that may be
used as a source in subsequent embedding. Link jumpers are provided to allow 0dBFS to be
set to +18dBu (rearwards, towards J1) or +24dBu (forwards, towards J2/3). The variable
adjustments on the card are set at the factory and should not require re-adjustment. Set channel
1 with PL2/RV2, channel 2 with PL1/RV1, channel 3 with PL4/RV4 and channel 4 with
PL3/RV3. Take care to note the adjustment and channel numbering on this sub-board.

HD-DOP2-110
This digital audio output module provides two 110 ohm AES stereo pairs or four mono
outputs that may be used as destinations when routing de-embedded signals.
HD-DOP2-110
TANDEM HD-21 does not support an external reference. JL2 will normally be left in its
upper position so giving the second AES2 output. JL3 and JL4 have no function.
HD-DOP2-75
This digital audio output module provides two 75 ohm AES stereo pairs or four mono outputs
that may be used as destinations when routing de-embedded signals.
HD-DOP2-75
TANDEM HD-21 does not support an external reference. JL2 will normally be left in its
upper position so giving the second AES2 output. JL3 and JL4 have no function.
TANDEM HD-21 User Manual R1.6 712/11/2012

Crystal Vision Hardware installation
HD-DIP2
This digital audio input module provides two AES stereo pairs or four mono channels that
may be used as sources in subsequent embedding.
HD-DIP2
Link jumpers are provided to select between 110 ohm (upper 2 pins), HiZ (balanced – centre
pins only) or 75 ohm (unbalanced – lower 2 pins). J3 must be selected for 24-bit.
HD-DIP2-RS
This digital audio input module provides two AES stereo pairs or four mono channels with an
integral re-sampler for use when the AES input is either asynchronous, or at a sample rate
other than 48kHz.
HD-DIP2-RS
The sample rate inputs can work with signals from less than 30kHz to 108kHz. It is
particularly useful for asynchronous 48kHz inputs, and other sample rate inputs such as
44.1kHz and 96kHz.
The signal output from the HD-DIP2-RS to the TANDEM HD-21 is at 48kHz derived from
the video content of the SDI signal into which it is to be embedded.
Because of the processing of the audio waveform, error words indicated by V-bit set high are
ignored. Occasional errors marked by V-bit high such as would be the case with a noisy or too
long AES input path, are masked out by the processing.
TANDEM HD-21 User Manual R1.6 812/11/2012

Crystal Vision Hardware installation
If the V-bit is consistently high, to indicate continuous error states, or to indicate non-audio
data, then the processor will give a silent output. All other cards, except RS4, pass audio data
unaltered even when V bit is set or held high.
Link jumpers are provided to select between 110 ohm (upper two pins), HiZ (balanced –
centre pins only) or 75 ohm (unbalanced – lower two pins). For TANDEM HD-21 jumper JL3
must be in the 24-bit (TAD) position.
Note:
In general, balanced outputs require the use of rear modules with a D-Type connector
and unbalanced outputs are for use with BNCs.
HiZ is achieved by removing termination jumpers – they can be parked for safe keeping
by replacing them using only one pin.
2.3 Rear modules and signal I/O
The Indigo 4 4U frame will house up to 24 single height modules with up to three power
supplies. The Indigo 2 2U frame will house up to 12 single height modules and dual power
supplies. The Indigo 1 1U frame will house six single height modules and a single/dual power
supply. The Indigo desk top box has a built-in power supply and will house up to two single
height modules.
Note:
For details of fitting rear connectors please refer to the appropriate frame manual.
