1.3 Applications
TANDEM-300 is very flexible and a range of applications can be served depending on
the option cards fitted and the configuration set.
Applications include audio embedding from external analogue or digital audio sources,
re-embedding from one or two SDI sources and de-embedding as analogue or digital
audio sources.
Even without any audio option cards fitted, TANDEM-300 can easily be configured to
support a wide range of functions such as sports commentary or multiple language
production.
For example, in Dual SDI mode, TANDEM-300 will provide an Audio Bridge between
two SDI inputs so that embedded audio from two separate SDI sources can be combined
in just one.

The ‘shuffled’ or routed audio can be further processed to correct for gain or phase
problems. Moreover, any stereo source can be converted to mono, allowing up to four
mono commentary feeds if required.
If multiple languages or commentaries are already available embedded within a single
SDI feed, Single SDI mode will allow audio channels to be freely selected from up to two
groups and then re-shuffled and embedded in any group for local or language specific
consumption.
