Flexible Audio Embedding
Embed up to 4 channels of balanced analog audio or 8 channels of AES/EBU digital audio directly into your SDI video. All audio uses standard 1/4 inch jack connections.
Automatic SDI Switching
Advanced 3 Gb/s SDI technology automatically detects and switches between SD, HD and 3G-SDI sources, so the converter just works with whatever you connect.
Redundant Input Protection
A second ALT SDI input takes over automatically if the main feed fails, keeping your embedded output running without interruption.
