SP-14 Audio 

Audio input channels are the 4x AES coaxial connectors and audio embedded in HDMI and SDI video 
streams for SP-14.  
 
The audio is passed through the system and re-embedded into the HDMI and SDI output signals with an 
appropriate delay to synchronize with the video stream.  
Also, audio output is present on the respective 4x AES coaxial connectors. Any PCM audio of 32kHz, 
44.1kHz, and 96kHz is resampled to 48kHz.  
Higher sample rate PCM audio such as 192kHz is muted.  
Any compressed audio is passed through if the original audio is identified as 48kHz sampled audio or 
muted.  
Incoming Dolby E audio is muted.

Audio Channel Configuration 

SP-14 has 4x two channel AES audio outputs and embedded audio on the HDMI and SDI video output 
ports. These audio outputs carry the embedded audio of the select video input stream (HDMI or SDI) or 
audio input on the 4x two channel AES audio inputs. Also, an internally generated test tone can be sent 
to the audio output channels. The audio routing can be controlled with the following menu items: 

 
Audio Input Select 

This  setting  determines  whether  embedded  audio  of  the  selected  video  input  (HDMI  or  SDI)  or  AES 
audio or a test tone is sent to the audio output channels. Also, the audio can be muted globally for all 
channels in this menu. 

 
Input Pair 1 Mute, Input Pair 2 Mute, Input Pair 3 Mute, Input Pair 4 Mute 

By default embedded audio and AES audio is passed through the system if the hardware does not need 
to  decode  and  encode  compressed  audio  for  resampling  or  is  capable  to  resample  PCM  audio  (see 
table above).  
The  system  can  be  forced  from  this  Auto  mode  to  Always  or  Never  for  each  audio  input  channel 
individually. Always mutes the channel and Never let all audio data pass through the system regardless 
of hardware limitations. 
 

Output Pair 1 from, Output Pair 2 from, Output Pair 3 from, Output Pair 4 from 

By default the audio output channels get the audio input channels in sequential order. Each audio output 
channel can be assigned a different audio input channel or they may all get the same signal.
