Introduction 9035 Functional Description Zero-DEClay Audio Embedding In cases where additional delay must be avoided, it may be desirable to embed AES with minimum latency. Using zero-DEClay embedding, the video can then be delayed by one frame to account for any remaining audio delay. In this manner, any delay between video and audio can be cleanly contained and managed within one frame period.
1 9035 Functional Description Dolby® Identification and Metadata Output Processing (See Figure 1-7.) All AES pairs and embedded channels are checked by the 9035-DEC for valid Dolby® status. When a valid Dolby® encoded embedded or discrete AES pair is detected, the channel pair carrying the Dolby® format is displayed as “Locked Dolby E” or “Locked Dolby Digital”, as applicable. (The decoder always uses the metadata associated with its respective AES pair.
Introduction 9035 Functional Description User Control Interface Figure 1-8 shows the user control interface options for the 9035. These options are individually described below. Note: All user control interfaces described here are cross-compatible and can operate together as desired.

Operating Instructions 9035 Function Submenu List and Descriptions Audio Routing Example Using DashBoard™ Figure 3-6 shows an example of using the 9035 Embedded Audio Group and AES Output Pairs functions to de-embed audio, route the audio to discrete outputs for post-production processing, and finally re-embed the audio into the SDI video output. Additionally, the example shows how external analog and internal tone generator sources can be embedded into the SDI output.
3 9035 Function Submenu List and Descriptions In the example here, Embedded Channels 1 thru 5 are de-embedded from the input SDI data and routed to discrete AES channels 1 thru 5. Also, an internal tone generator (TG1) and two analog inputs are routed to AES channels 6 thru 8, respectively. Figure 3-6 (sheet 2) shows the 9035 control settings (in this example, using the DashBoard™ user interface) that result in this routing. AUD_ROUTE_EX1.

3 Troubleshooting Troubleshooting This section provides general troubleshooting information and specific symptom/corrective action for the 9035 card. The 9035 card requires no periodic maintenance in its normal operation; if any error indication (as described in this section) occurs, use this section to correct the condition. Error and Failure Indicator Overview The 9035 card itself and its remote control systems all (to varying degrees) provide error and failure indications.
Operating Instructions Troubleshooting 9035 Card Edge Status/Error Indicators and Display Figure 3-8 shows and describes the 9035 card edge status indicators and display. These indicators and the display show status and error conditions relating to the card itself and remote (network) communications (where applicable).
3 Troubleshooting DashBoard™ Status/Error Indicators and Displays Figure 3-9 shows and describes the DashBoard™ status indicators and displays. These indicator icons and displays show status and error conditions relating to the 9035 card itself and remote (network) communications.

3 Troubleshooting Basic Troubleshooting Checks Failures of a general nature (affecting many cards and/or functions simultaneously), or gross inoperability errors are best addressed first by performing basic checks before proceeding further. Table 3-3 provides basic system checks that typically locate the source of most general problems. If required and applicable, perform further troubleshooting in accordance with the other troubleshooting tables in this section.
Operating Instructions Troubleshooting 9035 Processing Error Troubleshooting Table 3-4 provides 9035 processing troubleshooting information. If the 9035 card exhibits any of the symptoms listed in Table 3-4, follow the troubleshooting instructions provided. In the majority of cases, most errors are caused by simple errors where the 9035 is not appropriately set for the type of signal being received by the card.
