OP+HMX

Auto-Sensing 3G/HD/SD Multiplexer with 8 AES Inputs with Optical Transmitter

The HMX6803+3G/HD/SD embedder module has up to eight AES inputs and a video processing amplifier. This module allows for control over the picture, has an embedded audio processor for hot-switching embedded audio, provides full audio delay and processing, and enables the embedding of metadata from external sources. The HMX6803+D can be used in any broadcast facility where the embedding of AES on SD or HD signals is required or where the processing of SD or HD video and audio signals is essential.

The OP+HMX+D version includes a fiber sub-module that will allow the addition of an optical transmitter to complement the electrical inputs.

Product Details

Each HMX6803+D package includes a module-specific breakout cable that expands the number of available connections beyond what would fit on a standard two-slot back connector. The breakout cable includes an RS-232/422 serial connector to embed or de-embed Dolby® metadata.

The HMX6803+D can be controlled manually via card-edge controls with OSD video display or remotely using CCS Navigator™, HTTP Web server or third-party SNMP-based control applications. In addition, the module is Q-SEE™-compliant, allowing for direct thumbnail monitoring when installed in a FR6822+QXFE frame.
