MSA6800+A4D

Analog Audio Embedder with Synchronizer

The MSA6800+A4D analog audio embedder module for the 6800+™ core processing platform accepts an SDI input and embeds four channels of analog audio into one audio group of the SDI signal. User controls allow adjustment of the input audio before it is embedded.

Part of the 6800+ platform, the module provides audio synchronization when used with 6800+ video synchronizer modules (i.e., DES6800+, HFS6801+ and VFS6800+). When the external data I/O signal is interconnected between the modules, it automatically delays the audio to match the video delay.

The MSA6800+A4D module can be controlled manually via card-edge controls, or controlled and monitored via the CCS Navigator™ software application, HTTP web browser, NUCLEUS™ hardware control panels or third-party SNMP-based control applications.

Features

  • SDI video input with auto-detect and input status feedback
  • Option to pass signal or insert black on loss of input video
  • Option to mute or pass audio on loss of input video
  • Four analog audio inputs
  • Selectable 20/24-bit audio embedding
  • Adjustable embedding group and mode
  • Select any combination of audio input(s) to the embedder to pass as-is, swap or sum channels
  • 24-bit audio processing with adjustable fade rate, gain, invert and mute
  • Audio synchronizer
  • Adjustable audio delay up to approximately 1.3 seconds
  • Supports card-edge and remote control of module (via CCS Navigator, web browser or third-party SNMP-based control applications)
