• Features
About the 3G-AE 100
The Extron 3G-AE 100 extracts embedded audio from a 3G-SDI, HD-SDI, or SDI signal,
converts digital audio to analog audio, and provides analog stereo audio to the output ports.
Figure 1 shows a typical 3G-AE 100 application.

aPower LED — lights green when the unit is receiving power.
bRate LEDs — indicate the data rate of the incoming SDI signal (270 Mbps,
1.485 Gpbs, or 2.97 Gbps). If a signal is unrecognized, the “Not Recognized” LED will
light.
Rate LEDs will light once from left to right as a power up sequence when the unit is
powered.
Rear Panel Features and Cabling
The following section covers rear panel features and cabling procedures. If mounting is
necessary before connecting cables, see the Mounting section on page 7.
ATTENTION: Turn the input and output devices off and unplug their power cords.
Verify that the 3G-AE 100 is disconnected from the power source before proceeding.

Figure 3. Power Connection
ATTENTION:
• Do not tin the wires. For best results and to reduce the risk of short circuits,
trim just 3/16 inch (5 mm) of the jacket from the wires. If it is any longer, the
exposed wires may touch, causing a short circuit between them. If it is any
shorter, the wires can be easily pulled out even if tightly fastened by the captive
screws.
• Always use a power supply supplied by or specified by Extron. Use of an
unauthorized power supply voids all regulatory compliance certification and
may cause damage to the supply and the end product.
• Unless otherwise stated, the AC/DC adapters are not suitable for use in air
handling spaces or in wall cavities. The power supply is to be located within the
same vicinity as the Extron AV processing equipment in an ordinary location,
Pollution Degree 2, secured to the equipment rack within the dedicated closet,
podium or desk.
• The installation must always be in accordance with the applicable provisions of
National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, article 75 and the Canadian Electrical
Code part 1, section 16. The power supply shall not be permanently fixed to
building structure or similar structure.
NOTE: Do not tin the wires. Tinned wire does not hold its shape and can become
loose over time.
b3G-SDI Input — Connect an input device to the 3G-SDI input connector. The incoming
SDI signal is automatically detected and equalized.
Input equalization will allow signal transmission distances as follows:
• SDI: Up to 1400 feet (426 m) using RG6 cable
• HD-SDI: Up to 600 feet (182 m) using RG6 cable
• 3G-SDI: Up to 500 feet (152 m) using RG6 cable

3G-AE 100 • Panels and Cabling 4
cLoop Through connector — If necessary, plug in an output device to the
Loop Through connector. The SDI input signal is equalized, re-clocked, and routed
to the Loop Through connector. This connector may also be used for cascading to
another 3G-AE 100.
NOTE: It is not required to connect a device to the Loop Through connector in
order to extract audio from the input device.
dAnalog Outputs — Connect up to four audio output devices to the Analog Outputs,
using a cable with a balanced or unbalanced 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw connector.
Wire as shown below.
Do not tin the wires!

instructions on using the Group Select DIP switch.

Operation
Audio Group Selection
The 3G-AE 100 supports up to sixteen channels (eight stereo pairs) of embedded digital
audio. SDI audio is divided into four groups; each group has four channels (two stereo
pairs). When a group is enabled, its channels are extracted and routed to the 3G-AE 100
analog output ports.
The Group Select DIP switch can enable two groups at the same time:
• To enable groups 1 and 2, set the Group Select switch to 1/2.
