PEMB-3108 SDI audio embedders

PROFLEX™ PEMB-3108 series SD SDI embedders accept up to four audio channels to embed into the SD SDI stream.

The PEMB-3108 module occupies one slot in the PROLFEX 1U/3U racks so that up to four embedders fit into a 1U rack and up to fifteen into a 3U rack.

The input and output audio signal may be in any standard: an analog, AES or combination of both. These modificatiuons are designated the following model indexes:

  • four analog balanced inputs (24-bits ADC) – the "AA" index, (f.e. PEMB-3108-4AA)
  • two analog balanced inputs and one balanced AES/EBU input (4 channels in total) – the "AE" index, (f.e. PEMB-3108-4AE)
  • two balanced AES/EBU inputs (4 channels) – the "EE" index, (f.e. PEMB-3108-4EE)

The PEMB-3108 embedders are featuring the monitoring PAL output with the OSD of the bar-graph audio level meters (quasi-peak and VU).

PEMB-3108 simplified schematic diagram:

PEMB-3108 accepts SD SDI input signals. SDI input is equalized, decoded into a 10-bits 4:2:2 stream which is processed by a video/audio processor.

The video/audio processor embedds the audio data streams. Input audio may be an analog ("AA" model index), digital AES/EBU ("EE" model index) or combination of both formats ("AE" model index).

Features:

  • 24-bits audio ADC, 48kHz genlocked to video
  • optional capabilities of synchronization, logo insertion and noise reduction
  • low THD (better than 0.006%) and high dynamic range (100dB)
  • jumper-presettable audio headroom (+18dB or +24dB)
  • independent per channel polarity settings
  • audio group selection for embedding
  • audio channel (re)mapping
  • LEFT-RIGHT channel swap capability
  • built-in 1kHz test generator
  • bargraph audio level meter (quazi-peak and UV) OSD on PAL monitor output
  • automatic detection and indication of an embedded audio in input SDI signal
  • audio group and ancillary data stripping/editing capability
  • automatic cable equalizer on SDI input
  • signal loss indicator
  • EDH status indicators
  • compatibility with a single-signal, WDM and CWDM optical systems
  • an analog, AES/EBU or combination of audio inputs

PEMB-3108 controls and indicators:

The MODE button toggles through all the modes, the UP button edits them. The CH.SEL ???????????????

  • GROUP SEL - the audio group selection for the embedding
  • ASSIGN - audio channel mapping
  • POLAR INVERS - the polarity invertion in a selected stereo pair or AES signal
  • SWAP - left-right swap in a selected stereo pair or AES signal
  • TON - the built-in 1kHz test tone generator ON/OFF
  • VU METR - the VU-meter controls (ON/OFF, scale type, placement on the screen)
  • ANC STRIP - ancillary data stripping ON/OFF
  • AUD DET - lit when an input SDI has the embedded audio
  • EDH MIN/HOUR - lit if two or more EDH errors were detected within one hour/minute interval
  • AES LOSS - lit when AES inputs are selected but at least one of them has no input signal

The remote control and management from a PC

All the PROFLEX™ modules are remote controllable from a PC. This facility is available if a rack is fitted with a CPU module (ordered separately).
