HMX6803+D
Auto-Sensing 3G/HD/SD Audio Embedder with up to 8 AES Inputs
The HMX6803+D 3G/HD/SD audio embedder for the 6800+™ modular core processing platform has up to eight AES inputs with 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 has the ability to embed 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 the fiber sub-module, which 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.
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.
