The Gra-Vue 4-Channel Analog Audio Embedder SD-SDIfrom Gra-Vue 4-Channel Analog Audio Embedder SD-SDIis a half-rack 1RU standalone embedder which embeds two stereo analog audio source signals into a single SDI stream, and applies frame sync processing to the output signal. It features two identical SDI outputs so that the video with the newly embedded audio may be delivered to two destinations without requiring a separate distribution amplifier. The unit also outputs one analog composite video signal for monitoring, or other applications. The embedding mode and channels to which the audio is embedded is user-defined, and may be set using DIP switches on the unit. The embedder supports 625i50 and 525i60 formats. The reference input supports INT, single EXT, and Global EXT sync modes.

The MVIO EMB-4AUD-FS provides automatic signal equalization for cable runs up to 656' (Belden 1694A), which can improve the signal quality and reduce the signal loss caused by long distance transmission of the input source. The LED lights on the module indicate the status of input signal and power supply. The unit supports SNMP and can be real-time managed and monitored by XIO NET, an optional network management module, via Ethernet.

Q: 1. I noticed that the power supply comes separately - does that mean that it can alternatively be powered by a computer through the USB port? I am also unclear about the audio inputs. I have never seen that type of jack before...

A: No, it cannot be powered via USB. That is used to provide more comprehensive control, diagnostics, and upgrades to the unit from a PC or Mac. The audio input uses a 6 pin Phoenix connector, Wiring is done by inserting the connector provided with the unit. The wires will need to be stripped and inserted into the connector as described in the manual.

Q: 2. Can the Decimator 2 simultaneously downconvert the input to composite while passing through the original format to HDMI?I want to input 720p59 over HD-SDI and output both 720p59 over HDMI and downconverted NTSC composite (anamorphic).

A: From what I have read, yes it can, however I will double check and get back to you. However, I am using 1080p/60 so there may be a difference for you. But this thing is fantastic

Q: 3. How do you set the deep switch for audio in and audio out

A: Please review pages 8 to 10 in the manual, which covers the dip switches to set for the audio channels you would like to output. See the link below: https://bhpho.to/3NPCxO6

Q: 4. Which Mini XLR to XLR Cables do you recommend?

A: Comprehensive makes very nice XLR Male to Mini XLR Female Cables that you can use with this Datavideo Product.

Q: 5. Do the analog audio channels replace the embedded audio on SDI input?

A: They only replace channels 1 and 2. The rest of the channels are passed through.

Q: 6. Does this unit include the power supply?

A: Yes, this includes the AJA DWP-U-R1 Worldwide Power Supply for AJA Mini-Converters B&H # AJDWPUR1.

Q: 7. My workflow is in HD-SDI out from switcher and HD-SDI In to encoder, will this product work for HD-SDI embedding?

A: Yes, this product will work for HD-SDI embedding.

Q: 8. My SDI input is 1080p 29.97. Will this output S-Video?

A: No, it does not. use this one. Blackmagic Design Mini Converter SDI to Analog B&H # BLSDIAMC.

Q: 9. Does this unit support 1080P 59.94 and 60?

A: This lists 3G-SDI which indicates it should work well with 1080p at 59.94/60fps.

Q: 10. Will the '16:9 to 16:9 anamorphic' analog setting output a SD signal with no pillar or letterboxing added to a 16:9 source?

A: When using the DECIMATOR 2 3G/HD/SD-SDI to HDMI Converter with Built-In NTSC/PAL Downscaler & Analog Audio Outputs, you can configure the Decimator 2 to output analogue SD signals as a 16x9 anamorphic signal as well as options for letterboxed and straight 4:3.
