MSA6800+A4B2D, +A4C2D

Analog Audio Embedder with Synchronizer and AES Outputs

The MSA6800+A4B2D/+A4C2D series of analog audio multiplexers for the 6800+™ core processing platform accept an SDI input and embeds four channels of analog audio into the SDI signal. Each module provides one SDI output containing the embedded audio, plus two AES outputs, balanced or unbalanced (coaxial), depending upon module version.

The input to the embedder can be selected from any of the analog audio inputs, providing full flexibility in defining the mix or sum of audio embedded into the SDI output, as well as supplied on the additional AES outputs. The configurations of the audio into the embedder and the audio to the AES outputs are independently set and can be different.

The modules provide audio synchronization when used with 6800+ video synchronizer modules. When the data I/O signal is externally connected between the modules, it automatically delays the audio to match the video delay.

Part of the 6800+ frame, MSA6800+ modules can be controlled manually via card-edge controls, or controlled and monitored via the CSS Navigator™ software application, HTTP web browser, NUCLEUS™ hardware control panels or third-party SNMP-based control applications.
