The MVIO HDEMB-2AES-FS SDI 2-Channel AES Audio Embedder with Frame Sync Processing from Gra-Vue is a half-rack 1RU standalone embedder which embeds two AES balanced audio source signals into a single HD/SD-SDI stream, and applies frame sync processing to the output signals. It features two identical SDI outputs so that the video with the newly embedded audio may be delivered to two destinations without requiring a separate distribution amplifier. The SDI audio group and channels to which the audio is embedded is user-defined, and may be set using DIP switches on the unit. The embedder features automatic input detection and supports the following formats: 625i50, 525i60, 720p, 1080i, 1080p, and 1080psf. The reference input supports INT, single EXT, and Global EXT sync modes.

The MVIO HDEMB-2AES-FS provides automatic signal equalization for cable runs up to 328' (Belden 1694A), which can improve the signal quality and reduce the signal loss caused by long distance transmission of the input source. The LED lights on the module indicate the status of input signal and power supply. The unit supports SNMP and can be real-time managed and monitored by XIO NET, an optional network management module, via Ethernet.

Q: 1. will this work for getting analog audio in from a betacam sp deck into a SDI signal ?

A: Yes, provided you can send your Beta SP deck's audio out through the XLR inputs of the breakout module, which will bring your analog audio in. Your digital audio out is then transported via SDI.

Q: 2. do the XLR inputs have Phantom power?

A: Datavideo adheres to the IEC Standard (61938:2018) regarding voltage, current draw, and impedance that phantom power must secure a connection with all brands.

Q: 3. Which Mini XLR to XLR Cables do you recommend?

A: Comprehensive makes very nice XLR Male to Mini XLR Female Cables that you can use with this Datavideo Product.

Q: 4. Will the 3.5mm input power an attached microphone?

A: No, the KanexPro 4K HDMI 2.0 Audio Embedder's 3.5mm input can not power a microphone.

Q: 5. Can we plug simultaneously Line and Mic signal to the embedder?

A: That is not possible with this product.

Q: 6. Could I use this with other brands of bi-directional fiber converter to de-embedded SDI audio?

A: Yes, you can use any pipeline with any mix of brands to de-embedded SDI audio along with the AJA 12G-AMA 12G-SDI Balanced Audio Embedder/Disembedder with Fiber Options.

Q: 7. Will this embed the audio signal into a video signal if an audio signal is not already present?

A: Yes.

Q: 8. Does this Downmix to 2 channels or can you choose which 2 channels it outputs?

A: Unfortunately this product does not give you the option to choose which channels it outputs. It will mix everything together.

Q: 9. Does this unit support interlaced formats? (1080i)

A: No, the Datavideo DAC-91 2-Channel SDI Analog Audio Embedder can only see progressive signal video.

Q: 10. Do the analog audio channels replace the embedded audio on SDI input?

A: They only replace channels 1 and 2. The rest of the channels are passed through.
