SDI Video / Analog Audio?

[Yves De muyter]

As far as I know, this is not (yet) possible.
Setting the input to analog switches the video-input to analog too.

I was able to get thru to Panasonic tech support who had to forward me on to an Engineer, and they tell me that you have to have both the SDI and the seperate AES/EBU cards to get embedded audio on SDI out of a Panasonic Aj-d450. Unfortunately, they don’t make the AES/EBU card for my deck anymore.

So i’m out of luck for SDI video untill it’s possible for the Decklink to take seperate SDI video & analog audio.

Luckily i have enough spots on my patch panel to add component routing, but it’s a bit of a bummer.

Hi Adam,
strange thing with the Panasonic.
If it really doesn’t work you might try an SDconnect box ’cause it embedds/de-embedds SDI plus audio from evereywhere.. I don’t know how it’ll work for you, but maybe worth a try as they do a 15day evaluation program and a fantastic tech-support. I am happy with mine.

Hi Uwe,

Does the embedded audio, coming out of the SDconnect, work well with your DeckLink card?

I purchased a DeckLink Pro and a Miranda AMX172-P110 SDI AES/EBU Audio Embedder/Multiplexer and it did not work. The Miranda outputs an embedded signal that the Decklink Pro software cannot decipher correctly (causing the captured audio to sound full of digital audio artifacts and high pitched noise).

I used this setting with a PC computer and Premier Pro 1.5. It was an awful experience, and an expensive mistake.

Hi Paul,
I use it the other way: Only output – but this is working fine.
My DecklinkPro SDI-out goes to SDconnect SDI-in. SDconnect de-embedds the audio and the AES/EBU out from SDconnect goes thru a Finalizer to DigiBeta.
I’m having problems with Edit to Tape when I use SDconnect to control the DBeta and so I use RS-422 from Decklink.

Thanks for the report Uwe,

I’m wondering:

1) If you send from your Digital Betacam machine, audio and video as separate into the SDconnect.
2) If then you have the SDconnect embed the audio into the SDI signal.
3) And then, when you capture media through your Decklink Pro card using this signal, does Decklink Pro disembed this audio correctly?

Hi Paul,
I don’t know as I digitize DBeta SDIwith embedded audio from a Sony. Sdconnect does de-embeddd the audio ’cause I monitor audio from SDconnect’s analog outputs while digitizing. But the digitizing itsels goes: DBeta SDIout – SDconnect SDIin – SDconnect SDIout – Decklink SDIin.
A fine thing is SDI legalizing in SDconnect. I can turn it off for digitizing and turn it on for playouts.
So I am always legal 🙂
