2 HMX6801+B2/C2 and HMX6801+B4/C4 Installation and Operation Manual
Chapter 1: Introduction
Product Description
General Description
The HMX6801+B2/C2 two-channel and HMX6801+B4/C4
four-channel AES Multiplexers can (respectively) embed two and four
AES audio signals into a single 1.5 Gb/s HD or 270 Mb/s SD video
signal in both balanced and unbalanced formats.
Following SMPTE 299M and SMPTE 272M specifications, these
multiplexers are able to embed up to four AES audio signals into two
groups in the ancillary region of the SDI output signal. The sample rate
conversion on these modules can be disabled for Dolby E
™
/compressed
audio compliancy.
These modules can be controlled and monitored in the following ways:
• Locally, via card edge
• Remotely, with CCS software applications such as + Pilot Lite
™
,
CCS Pilot
™
, and CCS Navigator
™
, or with CCS-compliant control
panels and other products such as NUCLEUS
™
Network Control
Panel.
Four module types are available:
• HMX6801+B2 has one balanced DARS input, one unbalanced
DARS input, two balanced AES input channels, and two balanced
AES output channels
• HMX6801+B4 has four balanced AES input channels and a third
SDI video output
• HMX6801+C2 has one unbalanced DARS input, two unbalanced
AES input channels, and two unbalanced AES output channels
• HMX6801+C4 has four unbalanced AES input channels and a third
SDI video output
The back connectors for both module types require two frame slots
within an FR6802+QXF or FR6802+XF frame (there is no
backward-compatibility provided for use with 6800/7000 series
frames).
All product versions provide
one SDI video input and a
minimum of two SDI video
outputs.
