LYNX Technik plans to introduce a new DolbyE to Dolby Digital/Dolby Digital Plus Transcoder with an integrated SDI frame synchronizer at the IBC Show 2014 (September 12–16) in Amsterdam.
The PDA 5280 multi-format (3G/HD/SD-SDI) transcoder module is part of its Series 5000 card and rack-based series and offers great signal processing versatility and comprehensive transcoding choices. The unit automatically detects the input signal and switches its operation to the appropriate format.
This module transcodes a DolbyE audio stream, or encodes a 2.0 pulse-code modulation (PCM) audio stream into a Dolby Digital or Digital Plus stream. This stream can then be routed to any of the audio outputs, whether embedded or external. It offers 32-channel audio processing with adjustable gain, phase, invert, sum, and mute features. In addition, each channel offers audio overload and silence detection, as well as a test tone generator.
Eight independent AES audio ports can be individually configured as inputs or outputs. Existing embedded audio can be de-embedded internally, processed and routed through an audio mono crossbar, in parallel to up to eight external audio inputs.
The PDA 5280 Dolby Transcoder was designed to support existing and next-generation broadcast infrastructures using LYNX’ sophisticated processing technology to ensure that there are no pops or clicks present in the audio even when dropping or adding frames. The module also provides up to 62 frames of programmable output delay, adjustable in frames, lines, and pixels. The integrated frame synchronizer is a unique feature for the most demanding broadcast and production SDI environments.
