The Gra-Vue SD-SDI to Composite Converter Audio De-Embedding 1RUis an expansion board the requires the 1RU version of the XIO-series rackmount frame. The card takes a single NTSC or PAL SD-SDI input and converts to two composite analog outputs. So the signal can pass to downstream devices without requiring a separate distribution amplifier, the SDI input is also looped back out. Along with video, this converter will also de-embed two stereo pairs (4-channels) of analog audio from the SDI stream.

Digital to Analog Video Conversion    2 x Composite Outputs    1 x SDI Looping Output    4-Channel Audio De-Embedding    For 1RU XIO Frame

Automatic signal equalization enables incoming SDI cable runs of up to 656' when using Belden 1694A cable

Provided LED lights to indicate the status of signals and power supply

Supports SNMP, and can be managed and monitored remotely across a network using XIO NET

Designed for use in broadcasting systems, studios, and other professional video fields

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. I would like to derive audio wordclock from HDMI. My ADC will accept AES as wordclock. Can I use this with CONVMBHS24K6G "HDMI to SDI 6G Mini Converter" to embed silent audio (perhaps from unconnected analog inputs?) and then extract the silence to use as wordclock with this device?

A: I'm not sure if it is necessary to feed silent audio but you certainly can. If there is no audio on an SDI track the AES audio out will be silent.

Q: 2. will this change the frames per second? ex:1080p60 to 1080i59.97

A: No it does not.

Q: 3. Can this be connected to Blackmagic Design MultiView 4 HD and still work properly? Or do I need a Different Product?

A: Yes this will work. You have an SDI signal you want to add audio.

Q: 4. Will this replace the audio if there is already chanles on the SDI Input? Add to them?

A: You can choose to replace existing channels or add to new channels leaving the originals.

Q: 5. Is there a way to disable the frame grab/freeze frame on loss of signal to this device?

A: This converter model doesn't have grab/freeze frame on the output when the input signal is lost.

Q: 6. What is the latency between the SDI video and analogue audio?

A: According to Blackmagic Design, The Mini Converter SDI to HDMI has a delay of less than a single line of video, except when it needs to convert PsF to P, which will take one frame. The Analog to SDI has a four line delay.

Q: 7. What cables do I use to get the 8 channels of digital balanced audio out to a mixer? I don't see any 1/4" Y splits that will carry the signal to a mixer.

A: You need 4 TRS to TS or XLR, insert style cables to get out of the 4 connectors on the box to 8 inputs on a mixer.

Q: 8. What is the latency between the SDI video and analogue audio?

A: According to Blackmagic Design, the Mini Converter SDI to HDMI has a delay of less than a single line of video, except when it needs to convert PsF to P, which will take one frame. The Analog to SDI has a four line delay.

Q: 9. Can this ONE device be connected to one output on an atem constellations and extract audio from 2 diff inputs?

A: No. The Blackmagic Design SDI to Audio Mini Converter SDI outputs contain mixed program audio only. However, you could loop a single input through this converter and extract that audio.

Q: 10. Can I use a second one of these to convert audio back to analog?

A: No. This device is not a cross converter; it only converts from analog to digital.
