GRASS VALLEY 8977AP-4U User manual

The 8977AP-4U is a compact, high-
performance, high-density digital audio
processor. It provides processing at channel
level for up to eight PCM audio channels.
It also provides sample-rate conversion
and synchronization for asynchronous and
consumer-type sources. Automatic delay
tracking synchronizes the sound to a video
synchronizer, while a user-configurable delay
can compensate for fixed latency processing.
A particularly powerful feature of the
8977AP-4U is its ability to handle Dolby E
streams. These can be both routed and
delayed while preserving the non-PCM data.
The 8977AP-4U can handle a mix of Dolby E
streams and PCM channels so that, for
example, a Dolby stream on AES input 1 can
be routed to AES output 2 and then replaced
by selected PCM channels on output 1. Audio
input and output connectors are unbalanced
(see 8977AP-4B for balanced connectors).

syncs, an AES feed, or even word-clock can
be used. Reference can be fed directly to the

module by fitting the optional 8900GEN-SM
reference input sub-module or alternatively
taken from one of GeckoFlex’s two internal
busses. This allows several modules in a frame
to share a reference feed including sharing it
with a video synchronizer.

Tracking Input
One wire serial interface (RS-232 type)
Format: 1200 baud
Parity: Even
Bits/word: Seven
Stop bit: One
Connector type: BNC
Electrical Length (delay)
PCM mode: 1.7 ms to 3.9 ms depending on input
sampling rate, typically 3.9 ms at 48 kHz

This module can be mounted in a GeckoFlex
frame but not in other 8900 series frames,
including Gecko-A or Gecko-V frames. As this
module has no card-edge controls, in order to
configure this module, an 8900NET (Net Card)
Network Interface module is required.
