Cobalt Digital 9933-EMDE-ADDA 3G/HD/SD-SDI 16-Channel Un-Balanced AES and Balanced Analog Audio Embed/De-Embed openGear Card

The all-new Cobalt 9933-EMDE-ADDA 3G/HD/SD-SDI 16-Channel AES / 8-Channel Analog Audio Embedder / De-Embedder offers full-flexibility AES and analog audio embedding/de-embedding in a basic, economical, high-efficiency openGear card.

The 9933-EMDE-ADDA provides full 16-channel embed / de-embed between AES, 8-channel analog audio, and all four groups of embedded audios. Audio embed adaptive SRC allows asynchronous 48 kHz AES audio to automatically sync with program video 48 kHz timing for glitch-free embedding. Individual, per-pair SRC auto-detects and disables SRC when a Dolby pair is detected on an input pair. Analog embed/de-embed conforms with professional balanced audio at 0 dBFS to pro 24 dBu levels using full 24-bit conversion.

Full audio crosspoint allows per-channel gain and routing controls, as well as built-in tone generators.

Preset save/load allows saving custom card settings while allowing one-button revert to factory settings. Full user DashBoard or Remote-Control Panel remote control allows full status and control access locally or across a standard Ethernet network.

Key Features

• 16-channel AES support and 8-channel analog audio support in one card. Individual per-pair embedding or de-embedding. Provides four-group SDI embed/de-embed and cross-conversions between analog and AES discrete audio.
• DashBoard status display, audio meters, tone generators. GUI audio meters provide ready assessment of content presence and line-up.
• Audio embed adaptive SRC allows asynchronous 48 kHz AES audio to automatically sync with video 48 kHz timing for glitch-free embedding. Individual, per-pair SRC auto-detects and disables SRC when a Dolby pair is detected on an input pair.
• Low-power/high-density design - less than 18 Watts per card
• Remote control/monitoring via Dashboard software or OGCP-9000 remote control panels
