Embedded Audio
Introduction
Embedded Audio is standard equipment on Image Server MAXX. It is based on SMPTE
standard 272M-A. Key features include:
•
Synchronous 20-bit audio at a 48K sample rate. Non-synchronous audio and other sampling
rates are not supported.
•
While up to 16 channels of audio may be present in an SDI stream (arranged in 4 groups of 4
channels), the Image Server records and plays back only Group 1 audio channels (channels 1-4).
•
In E-E mode, all embedded audio will pass through the Image Server unaltered.
•
The user can select audio to record from either a +4 analog, AES/EBU digital, or embedded
audio source. Mix-and-match among inputs is not supported.
•
Embedded audio is always included in the SDI stream on playback, and audio will
simultaneously appear on the AES/EBU or analog audio outputs, as selected by the audio card
option jumpers. When analog audio is selected, only channels 1 & 2 will be available at the
output.
•
User bits in the SDI embedded audio stream are not supported.
