(continued)

• SD Audio Depth

Allows option of using 24-bit audio data structure per SMPTE 272M,
§3.10 (default is 20-bit per SMPTE 272M, §3.5).

Note: • If 24-bit depth is desired, make certain downstream equipment is

compatible with 24-bit SD audio data.

• Depth control setting applied here affects both Embedded Audio

Group 1/2 and 3/4.

• Group Enable

When enabled (On), enables the embedding of the corresponding
embedded audio group (Embedded Audio Group 3 or Embedded Audio
Group 4).

• Embedded Audio Group 3 consists of embedded channels 9 thru 12.

• Embedded Audio Group 4 consists of embedded channels 13 thru 16.

Two Group Enable buttons correspondingly enable or disable Embedded
Audio Group 3 and Embedded Audio Group 4.

Disabling a group removes the entire group of embedded audio channels
while preserving the settings of the channels belonging to the group.

Note: • Embedded Ch 9 thru Embedded Ch 16 have controls that are identical to the Source, Gain, Mute, and Phase controls

described for Embedded Ch 1. Refer to Embedded Audio Group 1/2 on page 3-31 for descriptions of these controls.

• For each channel, its source and destination should be considered and appropriately set. Unused destination channels

should be set to the Silence selection.

Dolby Metadata

Extracts and preserves Dolby

®

metadata from the input

SDI, and allows the metadata to be re-inserted in the
output SDI. This allows scaling and/or format
conversions without losing Dolby

®

metadata.

• VBI Metadata Removal

VBI Metadata Removal (On/Off) allows metadata to be removed (On)
even if the Scaler is not enabled. (This control is default set to Off, with
metadata being passed when Scaler is disabled)

Note: When the Scaler is enabled, Dolby metadata is automatically

removed. Set the Metadata Embedding control to On to re-insert
metadata as described above.

• Metadata Embedding

Metadata Embedding (On/Off) controls SMPTE 2020-1 metadata
embedding in the SDI video output.
• When set to On, metadata is extracted from the SDI input video,

buffered, and re-directed to the output SDI video.

• When set to Off, metadata is not embedded in the output SDI video.

• Metadata Output Line

Allows selection of SMPTE 2020-1 metadata

line location within the VANC

space for re-inserted Dolby

®

metadata.

(Range is 9 thru 41; default is line #13.)

Note: • Although the output line drop-down will allow any choice within the

9 thru 41 range, the actual range is automatically clamped (limited
to) certain ranges to prevent inadvertent conflict with active
picture area depending on video format. See Ancillary Data Line
Number Locations and Ranges (p. 3-8)
for more information.

The card does not check for conflicts on a given line number.

Make certain the selected line is available and carrying no other
data unless existing metadata is to be intentionally overwritten.
