7. SDI Input to HDMI Breakaway
–
SDI sources should be made manually added to the Audio View Matrix using the ‘Visible
in Audio Matrix’ function in the Input Settings window of the Matrix View Tab.
In order for a Breakaway HDMI Output to function correctly, all four stereo channels on
that Output must have the same clock reference in order to work. These channels must
be from the same source but can be put in any order. There are two ways of routing SDI
Audio: in a group where channel ‘A’ is duplicated across all four Output channels; or
individually where the channels can be separately routed and or duplicated to any
number of Output channels. Group switching should be used when there is only a single
stereo channel present on the Input. Channel ‘A’ will be routed to an Output in a group
i.e. ‘A’ to ‘A’, ‘A’ to ‘B’, ‘A’ to ‘C’ etc. This will maintain a clock reference on all four Output
channels. When routing individually any combination of connection can be made but the
Output must have all four channels assigned and they must originate from the same
source.
To link channels in a group
: In the Audio View tab click on channel ‘A’ button of the SDI
Input to be routed. The button will then be highlighted blue. Click on the corresponding
Output channel that matches the highlighted Input i.e. ‘AudInA’ to ‘AudOutA’, this will also
highlight blue marking it as selected. Click the
LINK
button and channel ‘A’ will be
assigned to all four Output channels. Orange lines will link the Output buttons to that
Input. Click
TAKE
once and green lines will replace the orange ones signifying positive
connections. The SDI stereo Input channel will now be present on the four Output
channels of the Breakaway HDMI Output.
To link individual channels
: In the Audio View tab click on one of the four channel
buttons of the SDI Input to be routed, this could be any one of the four stereo channels of
that Input. The button will then be highlighted blue. Click on any HDMI Breakaway Output
channel, this could be a channel that does not match the Input channel i.e. ‘AudInA’ to
‘AudOutC’ , this will also highlight blue marking it as selected. Click the
LINK
button and
an orange line will link the Output button to that Input. Click
TAKE
and a green line will
replace the orange one signifying a positive connection has been made. The SDI stereo
Input channels will now be present on the selected Output channels of the Breakaway
HDMI Output.
