Configuration
The XMUX embedding core can be considered as a 14x16 stereo audio router and a 5x4
group router.
The group router is used to transport or shuffle groups without introducing any additional
delay.
The inputs or sources in the stereo router are from the de-embedded audio groups, the delay
line outputs and the two built in generators.
The stereo router outputs or destinations are the groups of embedded audio in the output
video, the audio outputs and the delay line inputs.
A normal de-embedder configuration would route the de-embedded audio to the audio
outputs.
The AAV-HD-DMUX module can de-embed and re-embed/ shuffle at the same time!
Many other configurations are possible and the module may be dynamically controlled as a
14x16 audio router via the system controller, GYDA.
Full control of the module is performed with the GYDA system controller. Controls only
possible with GYDA are:
−
The data transmission parameters and channel selection.
−
The output processing of each stereo signal (LR, RL, LL, RR, MS, Sum, ØLR, LØR).
−
The delay lines delays and routing.
−
Video and audio generator configuration.

DIP switch routing
Full hardware control of all of the parameters in the module would require either, a
complicated menu type of control interface with a display and control buttons; or an
enormous number of switches. In many cases, most of the parameters will not be changed
from the default settings. It was decided to control only the most used parameters with
switches. This still requires the use of 24 switches.
The switches are only read if SW1.8 (DIP configuration mode) is in the on position (see
Chapter 3.2.2).
There are not enough switches on the module to allow full stereo routing configurations.
Groups of four channels are routed together as units, for example: AES input channels 1&2,
embedded audio group 1.

The switches control the routing of signals to the outputs or destinations. There are four
embedded audio groups and two pairs of audio outputs. The configuration assigns sources
to output groups and pairs of stereo audio outputs. This allows the same input signals to be
routed to several outputs.
