The PDM 5280 is a versatile 16-Channel (8x AES) audio embedder and de-embedder, which can be used to address a variety of audio issues in broadcast. The module offers multi format support for 3G-SDI up to 1080p60 with an optional fiber I/O SFP cage.

The module can be switched between a 16 channel embedder or 16 channel de-embedder, or a combination of both. 16 channels of audio are de-embedded from the input SDI signal and passed into the audio processing stage. In embedder mode, 16 channels of external audio are passed into the audio processing stage. Audio processing includes adjustable gain, phase invert and mute for all 32 channels as well as a selectable mono mix-down function for each left and right pair.

The processed audio is passed into a 32 x 32 output crossbar where the audio for the embedder and the external outputs can be user mapped.

The module handles up to 62 frames of programmable output delay adjustable in frames, lines and pixels.

Remote control, status monitoring and error reporting is possible via Lynx Centraal with the Lynx APPolo Control System.

NOTE: The use of the Lynx Centraal system is mandatory for this module. If installed in a RFR 5018 chassis please make sure a rack controller (RCT 5023 G) is installed in the rack.
