PDM 5380 O

3G/HD/SD 8 Channel Analog Audio Embedder / De-embedder

Datasheet Reference Manual

Description

Available Again: FEB 2024

The PDM 5380 is a versatile 8 channel analog audio embedder or de-embedder which can be used to address a variety of audio issues in broadcast. The module has multiformat support for SDI formats up to 3Gbit/s (auto detect) and features optional fiber optic I/O.

The module can be switched between an 8 channel embedder or an 8 channel de-embedder, or used as a combination of both. 16 channels of audio are always de-embedded from the SDI input and passed into a audio processing stage. In embedder mode 8 channels of external audio are passed into the audio processing stage. Audio processing includes adjustable gain, phase invert, and mute for all 24 channels as well as a selectable mono mixdown function for each left and right pair.

The processed audio is passed onto a 24 x 24 output crossbar where the audio for the embedder, and/or audio for the external outputs can be user mapped.

The module also provides up to 62 frames of programmable output delay as well as the ability to de-embed or embed Timecode using one of the analog audio inputs.

Microprocessor control and on board Flash RAM enable configurations and settings to be stored within the module. Remote control, status monitoring and error reporting is possible when using the LYNX APPolo Control System.

NOTE: The use of the LynxCentraal control system is MANDATORY for this module. If installed in a RFR 5012 chassis please make sure a rack controller
(RCT 5023 G) is installed in the rack.
