User Manual  

GENERAL:

The DAI-4207 is a high performance audio embedder for either 2.97 Gb/s 3G-SDI, 1.485 Gb/s HD-SDI or 270 Mb/s SD-SDI video signals.

A typical SDI signal may contain up to eight audio pairs arranged in four groups. Each DAI-4207 is capable of inserting two audio groups into an existing SDI video stream. Group selection is made via on board DIP switches.

An audio group consists of either two AES signals or four analogue audio signals, thus four AES signals or eight analogue audio signals, or a combination of both, are capable of being inserted over two audio groups. As well as the inputted audio signals, it is possible to swap existing audio channels between groups within the stream without the need to de-embed and re-insert the audio channels.

A selectable tone generator with multiple frequency test tones and levels is provided allowing for audio system setup alignment. These test tones are embedded into the stream on the selected groups.

Front panel LED indicators are provided for SDI input rate and audio input presence.

The DAI-4207 is cascadable with two SDI outputs being provided.

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) monitoring is possible when mounted in an IRT frame fitted with SNMP capability.

The DAI-4207 is fabricated in IRT's standard Eurocard format and may be housed in a variety of IRT Eurocard frames alongside other standard modules.

NOTE:      X corresponds to Groups 1, 2 or 3;
                Y corresponds to Groups 2, 3 or 4
                (X cannot equal Y).
M LED     Drop Frame rate indicator.
                Corresponds to various 3G and HD frame rates at 23.98, 29.97 or 59.94 frames per second.
