Hi,

ok. To be more precise: we receive a satellite live feed of a sports event. we put some graphics on the video, and we mix the audio (IT) with our own live commentary => PGM, which is then directly broadcast (live).

The Audio part includes these steps:

1) we receive the feed which is SDI with embedded audio (channel 1&2 = IT; 3&4 may be commentary but we discard it, because we do our own commentary)

2) Audio is de-embedded : channel 1&2 (IT)
3) Audio is then mixed with live commentary (PGM)
4) Both the original IT audio channels AS WELL as the new mixed PGM Audio channels are then embedded in SDI AS channels 1&2 IT and 3&4 PGM.
5) This is stored to Digital Betacam
& also Video and Audio 3&4 (PGM) is broadcast via Satellite & Internet Live streaming.

We keep the IT Audio to later make highlight cuts, trailers, etc.

So the question is:
Is the BM Multibridge capable of de-embedding audio from SDI, and simultaneously embedding other audio into SDI???
IE Input SDI(Video + Audio)->disambedding,embedding audio->Ouput SDI (Video and different Audio)

(Im thinking of this, because the device has multiple audio ins & outs)

OR
can the multibridge only work in one modus at a time i.e. embed external audio in SDI, or de-embed it.
In that case two multibridges (or maybe a miniconverter and a multibridge) are needed for what we are doing.

Just to clarify: At the moment we rent a whole LE room with a cutter and an audio engeineer and lots of equipment, and its rather expensive.
