Harris HMX6801+C4 HD/SD-SDI AES Audio Multiplexers Embedder
The HMX6801+ series of embedders for the 6800+™ core processing platform auto-senses an HD or SD-SDI video input and embeds up to four balanced or unbalanced AES/EBU inputs into any or all of the four audio groups. Part of the 6800+ platform, there embedder modules accommodate all common 1080, 720 and 1035 interlaced and progressive HD video standards. The highest audio quality is maintained with 24-bit operation, making this series ideal for any broadcast/professional installation.
The embedders provide extensive flexibility in audio group configuration, with all four groups being accessible and any mix of input audio and/or test tones being supported. The groups can be configured completely independently of each other to finely tailor the embedded audio, as well as the dedicated AES output audio (+B2/C2), to meet specific needs.
Users can accommodate multiple languages and address audio channel issues such as wrong audio, poor audio, swap audio channels, sum channels, send left-to-both or right-to-both and more. The modules also pass compressed audio such as Dolby® E. HDX6801+ B4D provides four balanced AES outputs HDX6801+ C4D provides four coaxial (unbalanced) AES outputs.
The HMX6801+ modules can be controlled manually via card-edge controls, or controlled and monitored via the CCS Navigator™ software application, HTTP web browser, NUCLEUS™ hardware control panels or third-party SNMP-based control applications. The modules are QSEE™-compliant, allowing for direct thumbnail monitoring when installed in an Ethernet-equipped 6800+ frame.
