The DMX6800+A4B2D/+A4C2D series analog audio and AES digital audio de-embedder modules for the 6800+™ core processing platform accepts an SD-SDI input with embedded audio and de-embeds up to four analog audio outputs and two balanced or unbalanced AES outputs. Part of the 6800+ platform, the modules also provide one SDI reclocked output.
Four variations of DMX6800+ analog/AES audio de-embedder modules are available:
The DMX6800+ modules 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.
