5 Using Your FC-6801 SDI De-Embedder
Sections 5.1 and 5.2 describe how to connect and operate your
FC-6801
SDI
De-Embedder
.
5.1 Connecting the FC-6801 SDI De-Embedder
To connect the
FC-6801
SDI De-Embedder
, as the example in Figure 3
illustrates, do the following
1
:
1. Connect an SDI source (for example, a digital video player) to the SDI
INPUT BNC connector.
2. Connect the SDI LOOP BNC connector (OPTIONAL) to the SDI INPUT
BNC connector on an additional unit to increase outputs (see the
illustration in Figure 4 which shows how to cascade four
FC-6801
units).
3. Connect both SDI outputs to SDI acceptors as follows (when only one
SDI output is required, use either of the SDI outputs, and leave the other
SDI output unconnected):
Connect the SDI OUT 1 BNC connector to an SDI acceptor (for example,
SDI monitor 1)
Connect the SDI OUT 2 BNC connector to the second SDI acceptor (for
example, SDI monitor 2)
4. Connect the AES OUT channel 1-2 BNC connector
2
to a digital audio
acceptor for channels 1 and 2 (for example, DAT-Recorder A)
5. Connect the AES OUT channel 3-4 BNC connector
2
to a digital audio
acceptor for channels 3 and 4 (for example, DAT-Recorder B)
6. Connect up to 4 analog audio
outputs to analog balanced audio acceptors,
as required. Outputs may be connected
3
or left unconnected.
7. Connect a PC (optional - see section 5.1.1) or other RS-232 controller.
8. Connect the power cord

.
1 Switch OFF the power on each device before connecting it to your FC-6801. After connecting your FC-6801, switch on its
power and then switch on the power on each device. Switching on the FC-6801, recalls the last status prior to powering down
2 When only one digital audio stream containing 2 audio channels is required, use either of the AES outputs, and leave the
other AES output unconnected
3 For example, connect the channel 1 and channel 2 OUT XLR connectors to a balanced stereo analog audio acceptor
(amplifier 1), and connect the channel 3 and channel 4 OUT XLR connectors to a balanced stereo analog audio acceptor
(amplifier 2)
4 The power connector is not illustrated in Figure 3
