The Kramer 

6809HD 

HD

1

 / SD

2

-SDI AES Embedder

 is a broadcast quality 

audio embedder for serial digital video. 
The 

6809HD

 

Accepts a standard definition/high definition SDI source (270Mbps/1.5Gbps) 

 

Has an equalized and reclocked SDI output, and embeds the audio to the 

SDI stream 

 

Embeds up to four audio signals (two stereo inputs) of AES/EBU audio  

 

Auto-detects SD/HD

3

 video formats  

 

Can be controlled via the group select dipswitches, letting you select the 

audio group to which you want to embed 

 

Has LEDs that indicate when an SDI signal is being received and when 

audio is being embedded to the video stream 

 

Is 12VDC fed 

To achieve the best performance: 

 

Connect only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding interference, 

deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise 

levels (often associated with low quality cables) 

 

Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may 

adversely influence signal quality and position your Kramer DigiTOOLS 

6809HD

 away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust 

 

 

 

Caution

 – No operator-serviceable parts inside unit.

1 High Definition (HD) means a video format, consisting of 720 active lines of progressive video or 1080 lines of progressive 
or interlaced video 
2 Standard Definition (SD) means an NTSC or PAL compatible video format, consisting of 480 (for NTSC) or 576 (for PAL) 
lines of interlaced video 
3 The VIDEO LED lights in green when an SD signal is detected and in blue when an HD signal is detected 
4 For example: model number AD2512C, part number 2535-000251
