HD-SDI Audio De-Embedder BLADE-3
The HD-SDI BLADE-3 is a specialty BLADE for extracting encapsulated audio from a serial digital interface (SDI). With the HD-SDI BLADE-3, you can ingest audio into the WheatNet-IP Intelligent Network from video production automation systems, routers, and other professional video equipment that use HD-SDI.
Our new specialty HD-SDI BLADE-3 for the WheatNet-IP Intelligent Network de-embeds multiple audio channels from HD-SDI streams so you can mix, process or simply route audio to your console for final broadcast. This 1RU is capable of de-embedding up to four HD-SDI streams, and up to 8 AES/EBU pairs (16 audio channels) per stream.
The HD-SDI BLADE-3 has four BNC connectors for coaxial input, and includes logic control, onboard utility functions and the dedicated controller that is at the core of its intelligence. Like other BLADEs, the HD-SDI BLADE-3 has its own CPU and operating system and provides a 1000BaseT (Gigabit) network interface for optimum network QoS and reliability. The HD-SDI BLADE-3 is AES67 compatible for interoperability with other AES67 compatible systems and devices, and has two built-in 8x2 stereo mixers. It comes with 12 universal logic (GPIO) ports for interfacing various external switches, indicators and devices for control purposes – as well as 128 software logic ports for routing and controlling devices anywhere on the network.
