SDI Embedded Parameters
The Embedded Params menu allows setting embedded audio source parameters and definitions
for an SDI video interface for digital video input.
This menu is available in the audio menus for all audio coding schemes—as long as the Audio
Source is set to Embedded.
An audio stream can be received with video via SDI. This type of audio source is called Embedded.
When an audio channel is set to an embedded audio source, the audio menu displays the
Embedded Params
menu, allowing the user to set embedded-audio-source definitions.
These definitions consists of two parameters:
■
Group
■
Channels
First select the audio channel group.
Each group has four audio channels (pairs 1+2 and 3+4, referred to as two stereophonic-
channels). Once the group is selected, the user must select the stereophonic channel of the audio
source.
Figure 6–3 illustrates the process of setting the embedded audio definitions.
In Embedded mode the audio connectors are inactive as the audio stream is received through the
SDI port.
Embedded mode does not work with audio-channel pairs. This means that when the unit is
equipped with 4 channels, which are 2 audio pair channels, embedded mode allows 4 individual
audio channels.
