GED100 - 3Gb/s, HD, SD embedded domain Dolby E to Dolby Digital (plus) transcoder with audio shuffler

Description

The GED100 is an embedded domain Dolby E to Dolby Digital or Dolby Digital Plus transcoders. Simultaneous encoding of 5.1+2.0 or 4 individual stereo channels (languages) to 4 Dolby Digital (Plus) 2.0 streams is possible.  The new Quad Speed audio bus allows for implementation of ‘in between’ audio processing. This means that we can stream the decoded Dolby E audio to a Quad Speed audio ADD-ON card like the DLA44 or DLA42, process this audio and send it back to the G/HED100 for encoding into Dolby Digital or Dolby Digital plus.

The ADD-ON card does not need a connector panel and all audio routing is performed inside the Synapse frame by just placing these cards in adjacent slots.

Features

• Dolby Pro Logic II encoding on the 2.0 channel
• Downmix of 5.1 to 2.0
• S2020 medatdata handling
• 2 SDI inputs (with auto switch on carrier loss, and switch back function)
• Compatible with the following input formats (auto selecting)

• 1080p/59.94 1080p/50 1080i/59.94 1080i/50 1080p/30 1080p25 1080p24 1035i/59.94
