As the transition to digital video and audio
accelerates, there is an increased need to
delay the audio associated with broadcast
video due to the relatively large processing
times associated with DVEs and video
production switchers. The 8914 provides a
low-cost and easy-to-use solution to the lip
sync errors associated with these large delays.
We’ve included two fully controllable delay
paths on a single board allowing up to 20
digital audio delays and distribution in a 2 RU
frame. If you want more distribution instead,
the first channel can be passively looped to the
second channel for seven outputs. The 8914
is also a full-featured reclocking distribution
amplifier.
Key Features
Two full-function digital delays on a single•
board
Up to 0.5 second delay in 2 ms increments•

Four outputs on channel 1, three outputs•
on channel 2
Up to 20 AES/EBU delays in a 2 RU 8900-V•
frame
Accepts 32, 44.1, and 48 kHz audio signals•
Note: for balanced 110Ω requirements see
the 8912 series digital audio distribution
amplifiers
