Connections
All connections are clearly indicated
on the module. AES audio I/O
connections can be made two ways,
by directly wiring connections to a
suitable male 25pin SubD connector,
or by using a RBO 5025 optional
25pin SubD PCB adapter with screw
terminals.
Operation
The PDM 1284 D functions as a 4 channel embedder and de-embedder.
Simultaneous embedding and de-embedding is also possible. For
example, its possible to de-embed and output audio from a selected
audio group before overwriting it with new audio.
Rotary switches are provided for AES 1+2 and AES 3+4 audio group
selection, and a 1KHz tone can also be selected (all channels).
Note: An audio “group” is 2 x AES.
Settings
A dip switch is provided for
module conguration. Settings are
indicated on the module and self
explanatory.
The“Auto Black” function will switch in a black test signal if the input video
is lost, allowing for an uninterrupted audio connection. This mode also
allows the module to be used to transport audio signals alone if required.
Sample rate converters can be turned o to support encoded AES streams
such as DolbyE.
Optional Fiber
Optional Fiber I/O can be added at anytime by plugging in the Fiber SFP
sub module. This will provide 3Gbit SDI ber I/O capability (ber input is
selected via the dip switch).
Power
The module requires a 12V DC power input and a LED is provided to
conrm power is connected.
