Audio Functions

Analog Audio (LC350):

• Two pairs of analog inputs and two pairs of analog output are available individually to the processing channel
• Headroom +24 dBu; balanced connection

AES Audio (LC350):

• AES audio is accessible via 8 bidirectional ports which can be configured as inputs or outputs
• AES input is auto-detected as PCM (32-96 kHz) or non-PCM (48 kHz locked to relevant video input)

Embedded Audio:

• 16-channel embedded audio processing
• PCM audio processing includes channel level gain and delay compensation, as well as channel level routing/shuffle with audio phase inversion
• Non-PCM processing features pair level routing and delay compensation
• Dolby-E data is passed with a delay to match the video and with co-timed audio frame drop or repeat

Throughput Delay

Video processing delay:

• field = 16.7 or 20 ms
• frame = 33.3 or 40 ms

With scaling active in same frame rate:

• Ref lock/Free run – between 3 and 5 fields + ~200 µs
• Input lock (SDI) – 3 fields + 1 ms

With scaling active in 525/59i output:*

• Ref lock/Free run – between 2 and 4 fields + ~200 µs
• Input lock (SDI) – 2 fields + 1 ms

With same standard in & out and Sync mode = Enabled:

• Ref lock/Free run – between ~200 µs and 1 frame + ~200 µs
• Input lock (SDI) – ~1 ms

Frame rate conversion:

• Any lock mode – 110 ms typical

Audio processing delay:

Automatically tracks the video processing delay

* Throughput delay increases with low frame rate (≤30 Hz) inputs or outputs
