HDX6803+D

Auto-Sensing 3G/HD/SD Audio De-Embedder with up to 8 AES Outputs

The HDX6803+D 3G/HD/SD audio de-embedder module for the 6800+™ modular core processing platform has up to eight AES outputs and a video processing amplifier. It allows control over the video while functioning as a de-embedded audio processor for hot-switching de-embedded audio. This new module provides full audio delay, audio processing and the ability to de-embed metadata to external sources. The HDX6803+D is ideal for any broadcast operation where the de-embedding of audio from HD or SD video signals is required, or where HD or SD video and (embedded and/or discrete) audio signals are processed.

The OP+HDX+R+D version includes the fiber sub-module, which will allow the addition of an optical receiver to complement the electrical inputs.

Product Details

Each HDX6803+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 em-bed or de-embed Dolby® metadata. The HDX6803+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.
