The
919096
(
Serial Digital to AES Converter
) module allows selected Wohler Technologies audio monitoring systems to be
connected directly to a serial digital video signal containing embedded audio. Two levels of component signals (eg., D1, D5, and
Digi Betacam type) are currently supported; synchronous audio at 48 KHz with either 20-bit data packets or audio and extended data
packets. The
919096
module demultiplexes (extracts) the audio data from the video data, reformatting it to the
AES
standard. A
companion digital-to-analog converter module (
919050
) is used to convert the
AES
signal to
analog
audio.
In the
AMP Digital Series
units, channels 1 and 2 (first subgroup) and channels 3 and 4 (second subgroup) from
SDI Group ID
#1
are demuxed before being input to the
AES
to analog conversion module (
919050
). Access to
SDI Group ID #2
,
#3
, and
#4
is optional and should be specified at time of order.
