See how this modular product fits in a frame:

The 7720AD4 series Audio De-Embedders extract embedded audio as specified by SMPTE ST 272 from a 270Mb/s serial digital video signal. The companion 7720AE4 Audio Embedder facilitates audio multiplexing at the source. The 7720AD4 is available in 4 different versions.

SMPTE ST 272 allows for up to four groups (4 channels/group) to be embedded within a serial digital signal. The 7720AD4 can de-embed two audio groups onto four unbalanced AES outputs. The 7720AD4-B can de-embed two audio groups onto four balanced AES outputs. The 7720AD-A4-2 can de-embed one audio group onto two unbalanced AES outputs and 4 balanced analog audio outputs.

Features

  • Card edge LEDs indicating module status, video presence, selected audio group data is present
  • LED indication for the presence of each of the 4 audio groups within the input video
  • Audio group selection via card edge DIP switches
  • Audio channel swapping selection via card edge DIP switches (not on 7720AD-A4-2)
  • Analog audio output models have independent volume controls for each of the audio channel outputs
  • VistaLINK® capable for remote monitoring, control and configuration capabilities via SNMP; using VistaLINK® PRO, CP-2116E or CP-2232E Control Panels. VistaLINK® is available when modules are used with the 3RU 7800FR frame and a 7800FC VistaLINK® Frame Controller module in slot 1 of the frame
