RB-VHCMA4 3G/HD/SD-SDI Embedder & De-Embedder 4 Channel Analogue I/O.

RB-VHCMA4 3G/HD/SD-SDI Embedder & De-Embedder 4 Channel Analogue I/O

Redbox LogoThe RB-VHCMA4 is a 4-channel analogue de-embedder and a 4-channel analogue embedder combined into a single 19-inch rack unit.

The unit selectively de-embeds up to 4 channels within any audio group contained within the video stream to any of the analogue outputs. After which, the video becomes two independent streams, where the audio groups can be selectively deleted or passed through. The unit then embeds any of the 4 analogue input channels to available groups within each of the two video streams, which are then re-clocked and sent to the SDI outputs.

The de-embedding and embedding channel routing is controlled via the front panel buttons and indicators. There is also LED indication for SDI input status and audio group presence.

The unit can be remote controlled via ethernet or serial port connections using the Sonifex SCi software.

It has a triple rate SDI receiver with automatic input rate detection and equalisation along with two re-clocked and individually buffered SDI outputs. It supports the full range of 3G, SD and HD standards from NTSC and PAL up to 1080p 60Hz.

The analogue outputs full-scale gain settings can be set via jumpers situated inside the unit. Allowable settings are +12dBu, +18dBu and +24dBu reference FSD Similarly, the analogue inputs full-scale gain settings can be set via jumpers inside the unit. Allowable settings are +12dBu, +18dBu and +24dBu for FSD.

The balanced and unbalanced connections are paralleled, allowing one type to be used per input or output.
