Operation

The PDM 1383 functions as a 4 channel embedder and de-embedder. 

The module will also support simultaneous embedding and 

deembedding where audio can be deembedded from the selected 

audio group before overwriting it with new audio. 

Rotary switches are provided for embedded audio group selection as 

well as audio level,  levels can be preset to an FS (full scale) level for 

balanced audio, or line level for unbalanced audio. 

(NOTE:  An audio “group” is 2 x AES = 4 channels of audio)

Connections

All connections are clearly indicated on the 

module.  Analog audio I/O connections can 

be made two ways,  by directly wiring 

connections to a suitable male 25 pin SubD 

connector,  or by using the supplied 25 pin 

SubD PCB adapter with screw terminals.

Settings

A dip switch is provided for 

module configuration.  

Settings are indicated on the 

module and self explanatory.
The “Auto Black” function will automatically output a black test signal on 

the SDI output if the input video is lost. This allows for an uninterrupted 

audio connection. Alternatively this mode can be used for analog audio 

transport only.

Bidirectional Master

If a pair of modules are being used to transport audio (only) between 

two locations then bidirectional functionality is possible when one of 

the two modules is set to be the “Bidirectional Master” using the dip 

switch.  Please refer to the diagram.

Only one end needs to be set as the Bidirectional Master, the other end 

can be a PDM 1383, PDM 1382 or even a PDM 1284 for AES I/O

Cascading for More Audio Channels

All of our yellobrik Embedders/Deembedders can be cascaded to add 

more audio channels. In the case of the PDM 1383 up to four modules 

can be cascaded to support the full payload of 16 analog audio 

channels. The configuration below shows two modules cascaded for 8 

channels. 

(This example is using the “Auto Black” function and is for audio only - normal 

SDI video could also be used)

NOTE:  The module is designed for balanced audio signals. If using unbalanced audio 

then the audio levels and full scale calibrations will not be accurate, there may also 

be more noise on the signal.

Note:

 It is not possible 

to cascade modules
