Zeta consoles running V1.36 software
support the Calrec four way SDI
de-embedders. each SDI stream
provides up to eight stereo output
pairs. Up to 9 SDI boxes can be used
in a hydra network.
The four way box (VI5699) de-embeds
both HD (high definition) and SD
(standard definition) video. The unit may
also be fitted with a secondary IEC inlet
for redundant external AC power.
The unit can be fitted with up to eight
optional Dolby E decoder modules. An
extra rear connector is provided with this
option for accessing Dolby E metadata.
As with the analog and AES-3 boxes,
these SDI interfaces connect to the
network via an Ethernet port on the rear
of the unit. Each unit has two identical
ports to provide network redundancy. All
versions are supplied with two RJ45 ports
for copper connections (1000BASE-T for
distances up to 90 m = 290 feet). Plug-in
GBIC modules allow connections with
1000BASE-SX (for distances up to 550
m) and 1000BASE-LX (for distances up
to 10 km) are available.
SDI signals can only be patched to the
inputs of Zeta consoles running V1.36 or
later software.
