As serial digital video signals become more
prevalent in production facilities, the demand
for multi-channel audio increases. The
8920MUX provides a cost-effective solution for
inserting or replacing one of the eight available
groups of dual AES streams in a multiplexed
serial digital video signal with embedded AES/
EBU audio. The 8920MUX can multiplex up to
two dual-channel, 20- or 24-bit AES/EBU audio
streams (up to four discrete channels). The 20-
or 24-bit AES streams are grouped together
and given a unique group ID. This AES group
is then inserted into the ancillary data space of
the 525 or 625 serial digital component video
signal. The 8920MUX is able to add a new
AES group into empty ancillary data space, or
it can replace an existing AES group—without
disturbing the remaining AES groups. Digital
audio inputs can be either 75Ω unbalanced or
110Ω balanced.
