Switches
Mini Converter SDI to Audio 4K switches provide the following settings:
Switch 8 - Analog Audio, AES/EBU Audio
Set switch 8 to OFF to select balanced analog audio, or to ON for digital AES/EBU audio output.
Switch 6 - Audio Group Bit 1
Switches 6 and 5 are grouped together to provide four ON/OFF combinations. This allows
up to 4 quadruplets of analog audio channels, or 2 sets of 8 AES/EBU audio channels, to be
de-embedded from your SDI input.
Switch 5 - Audio Group Bit 0
See switch 6 description.
Mini Switch Settings Example
Try experimenting with the switches. Select analog audio channels 1 to 4 by setting switches 8,
6 and 5 to the OFF position.
The switch legend on the base of your converter gives you
all the information you need to change conversion settings.
