FCC 47 Part 15
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device
must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A
digital device, pursuant to the part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is
operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction
manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this
equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the
user will be required to correct the interference at their own expense.

Getting Started
Most CardModules are installed into the rack frames and system tested in the factory. If
this is an upgrade part or service exchange item then the module is supplied in a padded
cardboard carton which includes the CardModule, rear connection plate and mounting
screws.
Packaging
The shipping carton and packaging materials provide protection for the module during
transit. Please retain the shipping cartons in case subsequent shipping of the product
becomes necessary. Do not remove the module from its protective static bag unless
observing adequate ESD precautions. Please see below.
ESD Warning
This product is static sensitive. Please use caution and use preventative measures to
prevent static discharge or damage could result to module.
Preventing ESD Damage
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage occurs when electronic assemblies or the
components are improperly handled and can result in complete or intermittent failure.
Do not handle the module unless using an ESD-preventative wrist strap and ensure that it
makes good skin contact. Connect the strap to any solid grounding source such as any
exposed metal on the rack chassis or any other unpainted metal surface.
Caution
Periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The measurement should
be between 1 and 10 MOhms.

Note. Please check connected peripheral equipment before using the P DM 5240 to
make sure the audio ports of the P DM 5240 are configured correctly, e.g. an output
is not connected to an output of another device, this might damage the equipment.
Product Description
The P DM 5240 Module is a high performance SD/HD/3GBit/s audio embedder and
deembedder for AES digital audio streams.
Four external AES ports are provided which can be switched by the user individually as
AES inputs or outputs. These AES ports are provided as balanced AES3 audio inputs or
outputs on a 25 pin SubD connector (P DM 5240 D) and as unbalanced AES3id audio
inputs or outputs on 75Ohm MiniDIN connectors (P DM 5240 U).
All deembedded and external AES input streams can be processed in an audio
processing stage incl. mono gain, stereo downmix, mute, overload and silence detection
as well as a 1kHz test tone generator.
DolbyE processing is included in the audio processing stage, i.e. one encoded DolbyE
stream can be synchronized to the SDI clock domain and the Guard Band is
automatically aligned.
NOTE: The P DM 5240 is delivered from the factory preconfigured with 2 external AES
Inputs and 2 external AES outputs. See page 24 for information on re-
configuration of the signal direction of each AES port.
Key Features
•Support for SDTV, HDTV and 3GBit/s standards
•Automatic video standard and format detection
•Audio ports can be individually configured as inputs or outputs
•Existing embedded audio can be deembedded
•Delete, replace or shuffle existing embedded audio
•Mono audio crossbar
•Audio processing (mono gain, test tone, mute, phase invert, mix, overload and
silence detection)
•Embedded audio group selection
•Selectable Horizontal and Vertical Video Blanking

Audio Processing
The module will de-embed the complete audio payload from the incoming SDI stream (4
AES groups = 8 AES streams = 16 mono channels), and passed to the AES audio
processing infrastructure, along with up to 8 external AES inputs.
The type of audio (PCM, DolbyE or Audio Data) is detected by the module automatically.
PCM Audio using the sample rate converters will be free from any audio interference
(“pops and clicks”) when frames are dropped or repeated by the frame synchronizer.
NOTE: If an encoded DolbyE audio signal is detected by the module the associated SRC
and the following audio processing will be switched off automatically. For
asynchronous DolbyE streams, the DolbyE functionality should be enabled on the
respective path. See page 20 for details.
