7721AE8-(B)-HD HD Audio Embedder

Revision 1.4 Page-1

1. OVERVIEW

The 7721AE8-HD Audio Embedder inserts 8 AES audio signals into a 1.5 Gb/s serial HD input video

signal or a 270 Mb/s serial SD input video signal as specified by SMPTE 299M/272M. SMPTE 299M and

272M allocate four groups of two audio pairs that can be embedded into the digital video bitstream. The

7721AE8-HD embeds up to 8 AES audio signals into four groups on the digital video outputs allowing dual

5.1 audio applications.

The 7721AE8-HD is also Dolby E compliant and can handle Dolby E Metadata. Metadata is optionally

embedded into Vertical Ancillary data (VANC) and can be provided as an output for downstream devices

(i.e. Dolby Encoders, Multichannel Audio Tool, etc.).

The 7721AE8-HD occupies one card slot in the 3RU frame (7700FR-C), which will hold up to 15 1-slot

modules or one slot in the 1RU frame (7701FR), which will hold up to three modules. The 7721AE8-HD

can also fit in a standalone unit (S7701FR).

VistaLINK

enabled control and configuration capabilities via Simple Network Management Protocol

(SNMP). This offers the flexibility to manage the module status monitoring and configuration from SNMP

enabled control systems such as Evertz VistaLINK

Features:

•Automatic detection of video standard

•Bypass relay protection on one SDI output for power failures

•Flexible audio router (16x16)

•24-bit AES inputs and audio embedding (HD) and 20-bit (SD)

•Individual audio group embed enable/disable

•Automatic sample rate conversion disable on AES inputs to permit Dolby E embedding

•Programmable audio delays, independent for all channels

•Miniature bar graph display to monitor audio content activity

•Numerous signal monitoring aids

•Ancillary packet cleaner removes any interfering audio groups before embedding

•User may force additional groups to be removed

•Embeds audio on internally generated black or blue video when there is no video input

2. INSTALLATION

The 7721AE8-HD comes with a companion rear plate that occupies one slot in the frame. For information

on mounting the rear plate and inserting the module into the frame see section 3 of the 7700FR chapter.

Figure 2-1: Rear Panels

2.1. VIDEO CONNECTIONS

HD/SDI IN: The input BNC connector for 10-bit serial digital video signals compatible with the

SMPTE 292M or SMPTE 259M standard. The module can automatically detect the video

standard or can be manually set for a specific video standard.

HD/SDI OUT: There are two BNC connectors with reclocked serial component video outputs, in the same

video standard as the input. These outputs contain the input video with the audio present at

AES inputs 1 to 8 embedded in accordance with the SMPTE 272M or SMPTE 299M

standard. The top HD/SDI output is protected by a bypass relay, which will activate in the

event of power loss to the module. The remaining output is not bypass protected.

2.2. AES INPUT AUDIO CONNECTIONS

AES INPUT: Eight unbalanced AES inputs conforming to SMPTE 276M are provided on this DB-15

connector. The breakout cable provided will bring these signals conveniently to BNC

connectors. Any of the eight AES input channels can be used as a backup or voice-over

source. Table 2-1 shows the DB-15 connector pin out. On the 7721AE8-B-HD, there is a 2

x 12 pin terminal strip containing the balanced AES input embedded from the video. The

pin-out of the 2 x 12 removable terminal strip is as shown in Figure 2-1.

2.3. METADATA CONNECTIONS

The 7721AE8-HD provides the ability to receive Metadata from a Dolby device (such as the DP570) and

embed it into the VANC area of the video. There are two wires (META+ and META-) available on the

breakout cable that can be used to connect to the Dolby device. Figure 2-2 shows how to wire the META+

and META- wires to a DP570.
