Chapter 1 – Introduction
Card Overview
The OG-3G-AMD is a triple rate 8 channel AES audio embedder/disembedder.
AES audio can be embedded and disembedded simultaneously. The embedder is
user selectable, on a channel pair basis, to either “pass” existing SDI input audio
or embed AES input audio through the back panel. The ability to pass incoming
ancillary data makes it possible to embed up to 16 channels of audio by cascading
two units. Horizontal ancillary data (HANC) packets in compliance with SMPTE
291M can also be dropped at the input.
The OG-3G-AMD automatically detects and configures to the input video
standard. 3G-SDI formats up to and including 2048x1080p 60 YCbCr 4:2:2 are
supported (see
"OG-3G-AMD Tech Specs" on page 25
for a complete listing).
The SDI output has minimal video latency and supports up to 16 channels of
embedded audio.
NOTE: 2048x1080p/psf 29.97 and 30 formats support a maximum of 8 channels
embedded audio.
Using the DashBoard application, you can configure data packets to be passed
from the AES inputs to embedded ancillary packets un-altered. This, along with
minimized embed/disembed latency, ensures 100 percent compatibility with
Dolby® bitstreams and other non-PCM data.
