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, an 8900NET
(Net Card) Network Interface card is required to
configure this module.

The 8925DMB-U is a compact SD/HD digital
audio de-embedder (audio demultiplexer)
module. It provides four unbalanced AES
outputs and supports both PCM audio and
Dolby E. This module is ideal for building dense
audio/video infrastructure for production and
playout applications.
The 8925DMB-U also provides four SD/HD-SDI
outputs, one of which is a direct reclocked
feed of the input. The four AES outputs are
synchronous to the video. Output PCM audio
sample resolution can be forced to 20 or 24
bits.
With its fiber-ready architecture, the
8925DMB-U can be configured to support up
to two fiber inputs or up to two fiber outputs.
Configured as a fiber transceiver it can take SDI
from fiber, de-embed audio, and provides SDI
output over fiber and discrete AES outputs. The
dual-receiver option makes it ideal for receiving
incoming feeds from longer distances with fiber
input selection, and locally de-embedding audio
for providing audio and SDI over copper.
