Audio Functions

Analog Audio (only available with CVBS option):

• Four pairs of analog inputs are individually available to any or all processing channels
• Two groups (2 pairs) of analog output are separately assignable to any processing channel
• Headroom +24 dBu; balanced connection

AES Audio (only available with CVBS option):

• Four AES audio inputs are individually available to any or all processing channels
• Four AES audio outputs (48 kHz) are separately assignable to any processing channel
• AES input is auto-detected as PCM (32-96 kHz) or non-PCM (48 kHz locked to relevant video input)

Embedded Audio:

• Each processing channel includes 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

• 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 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 (Audio delay = 0 ms):

With scaling active in same frame rate:

• Ref lock/Free run – 1.5 frames
• Input lock – 1 frame + 1 ms

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

• Ref lock/Free run – 0.5 frames
