Studer Adds 3Gbit Capability To SDI Interface

By TonyBruno on 06/13/2010 at 08:55

Studer has now added the high-bandwidth version of SDI, 3G-SDI, to its optional D21m I/O module with the release of the 3G SDI card.

The new option can handle up to 16 audio channels in an SDI stream, acting as an eight- or 16-channel embedder, an eight- or 16-channel de-embedder, or any combination thereof.

The new card will interface with all SDI standards from SD, HD to 3G, with on-board sample-rate converters providing a method for the audio streams to be processed independently of the SDI video sync. The card directly injects the de-embedded audio into the console bus structure, removing the D/A converter- or AES3 Interface stage which would be required with standalone SDI equipment.

SDI-through and HF relay bypass SDI outputs are provided.
