1. OVERVIEW
The 7720AE4 Audio Embedder inserts AES audio signals into a 270 Mb/s SDI video signal as specified in
SMPTE 272M. The companion 7720AD4 Audio Deembedder facilitates audio demultiplexing at the
destination.
SMPTE 272M allocates four groups of four audio channels that can be embedded into the SMPTE 259M
bitstream. The 7720AE4 embeds up to 4 AES audio into two selectable groups on the SDI outputs for
discrete 5.1 audio applications. The 7720AE4 is Dolby E compliant when the sample rate converters are
turned off.
VistaLINK®enables control and configuration capabilities via Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). This
offers the flexibility to manage the module status monitoring and configuration from SNMP enabled control systems
such as Evertz VistaLINK®Pro locally or remotely.
Features:
•Automatic detection of 525 line and 625 line input
•Bypass relay protection on one SDI output for power failures
•20-bit AES input and audio embedding
•Individual audio group assignment for each group
•Group lock mode maintains phase relationship between the groups for 5.1 audio applications
•Sample rate conversion disable on AES inputs to permit Dolby E embedding
•Programmable audio delays (up to 7 frames in ½ video field resolution) using DIP switches
•Ancillary packet cleaning mode removes all audio before embedding
•Ancillary packet reformatting mode left justifies and removes unused packets before
embedding
•Embeds audio on internally generated black or blue video when there is no video input
•VistaLINK®control capabilities for module configuration. VistaLINK®capabilities are available
when modules are used with the 3RU 7700FR-c frame and a 7700FC VistaLINK®Frame Controller
module in slot 1 of the frame. (feature not implemented at this time)
•Front panel LEDs indicate video and audio signal presence, and module fault

Table 5-1: Toggle Switch Function Overview
5.1. SELECTING THE AUDIO GROUPS THAT WILL BE EMBEDDED
The SMPTE 272M standard permits up to 4 groups of 4 audio channels to be embedded into the 270 Mb/s
video bitstream. Model 7720AE4 has two separate embedders that will embed up to four audio channels
(two AES pairs) into one of the groups. The Embedders can be treated as two independent embedders
for unrelated audio content or can be locked together where the audio in both groups is related and hence
its phase must be maintained (i.e. 5.1 surround sound audio).
"Some legacy equipment many not be compatible with two embedded audio groups
present in the video stream.
The source for Embedder A is the audio coming in on the AES IN 1 and 2 connectors. The source for
Embedder B is the audio coming in on the AES IN 3 and 4 connectors. There separate DIP switch settings
that are used to enable or disable each embedder and to set the audio groups where the embedders will
put the audio on the SDI output.
When the DIP switches are as shown in Table 5-2, the toggle switch is used to enable or disable
Embedder 1. Each time the toggle switch is pressed up or down the Embedder 1 Enable mode will
change as indicated by the LEDs in Table 5-2.

7700 MultiFrame Manual
7720AE4 SD-SDI 4 AES Audio Embedder
Page-10 Revision 1.2
When set to Disable embedder 1 will be disabled. When it is set to Enable the embedder destination can
be set when the DIP switches are set as shown in Table 5-3. Channels 1 and 2 from AES input 1 will be
embedded into channels 1 and 2 of the selected group. Channels 1 and 2 from AES input 2 will be
embedded into channels 3 and 4 of the selected group. If audio is not present on one or both of the AES
inputs, the respective channels of the selected audio group will be mute.

7700 MultiFrame Manual
7720AE4 SD-SDI 4 AES Audio Embedder
Page-12 Revision 1.2
5.4. SELECTING AES LOCKED GROUP MODE
For audio that is synchronous to video there is exactly 8008 audio samples (48kHz sampling rate) in 5
frames of NTSC, 525 line video. Most audio embedders will spread these samples as evenly as possible
throughout the 5 frames of video. Because the 8008 samples do not divide evenly into 5 frames of video,
there is a sequence that only repeats every 5 frames. In all video standards it is possible for the phase of
the audio being embedded by two separate embedders to be out of phase with respect to each other. In
order to transport 8 channels of audio (4 AES pairs) through an embedded link with exactly the same
delay on each channel, both the embedder and the de-embedder must lock the FIFOs of both groups of
audio together. Failing to do so will cause a phase difference between the audio from the two groups.
When the DIP switches are as shown in Table 5-8, the toggle switch is used to select whether the
embedders will be operated separately or locked together for embedding related audio (such as 5.1
surround sound).

Table 5-8: Lock Group Mode Switch Settings
When Independent group mode is selected, Embedder 1 and Embedder 2 are operated independently of
each other as if two separate embedder devices were used. The FIFOs are not locked together and the
output phases of the two groups of embedded audio do not have any specific relationship to each other.
When Locked group mode is selected, the Embedder FIFOs are locked together maintaining the phase
relationship between all 4 AES channel pairs in the embedded audio.
"
To maintain a guaranteed audio phase relationship through a complete SDI link, the
audio de-embedder MUST also provide the same locked FIFO management
functionality.
5.5. SELECTING SAMPLE RATE CONVERSION FOR AES INPUTS
When the DIP switches are as shown in Table 5-9, the toggle switch is used to select whether the sample

source.
When the Sample Rate converters are Disabled the content of AES inputs is preserved without any loss,
and directly embedded into the input video. AES inputs must be synchronous to the video source. This
setting is required when embedding Dolby E.

6.1. SELECTING WHETHER LOCAL FAULTS WILL BE MONITORED
BY THE GLOBAL FRAME STATUS
FRAME STATUS: The FRAME STATUS jumper located at the front of the module determines whether
local faults (as shown by the Local Fault indicator) will be connected to the 7700FR
frame's global status bus.
To monitor faults on this module with the frame status indicators (on the Power
Supply FRAME STATUS LED's and on the Frame's Fault Tally output) install this
jumper in the On position. (Default)
When this jumper is installed in the Off position, local faults on this module will not
be monitored.
6.2. CONFIGURING THE MODULE FOR FIRMWARE UPGRADES
UPGRADE: The UPGRADE jumper J16 located at the front of the module is used when firmware
upgrades are being done to the module. For normal operation it should be installed
in the RUN position. See the Upgrading Firmware chapter in the front of the binder
for more information.
To upgrade the firmware in the module unit pull it out of the frame. Move Jumper
J16 into the UPGRADE position. Install the Upgrade cable provided (located in the
vinyl pouch in the front of this manual) onto header J24 at the card edge. Re-install
the module into the frame. Run the upgrade as described in Upgrading Firmware
chapter in the front of the binder. Once the upgrade is completed, remove the
module from the frame, move J16 into the RUN position, remove the upgrade cable
and re-install the module. The module is now ready for normal operation.

Occasionally users want to reset the module to its factory default condition. The following procedure
allows you to erase all user settings and restore the factory settings.
You will need the following equipment in order to reset the card to its factory defaults
•PC with available communications port.
•Terminal program that is capable of Xmodem file transfer protocol (such as HyperTerminal).
•Special Serial Upgrade cable supplied with the 7700FR-C frame. This cable is normally in the vinyl
pouch at the front of this manual. (Evertz part #WA-76). A “Straight-thru” serial extension cable (DB9
female to DB9 male) may be required if you need to extend the length of the WA-S76 serial upgrade
cable
Reset Procedure:
1. Remove the module from the frame.
2. Move the UPGRADE jumper into the UPGRADE position.
3. Connect the 7700PB Serial Upgrade cable to the 2 row x 3 pin header labelled J24. Install the cable
with the ribbon cable towards the front of the board.
4. Connect the 9 pin connector on the end of the Serial Update cable to the PCs’ RS-232
communications port.
5. Start the terminal program.
6. Configure the port settings of the terminal program as follows:
