c Loop Through connector — If necessary, plug in an output device to the Loop Through connector. The SDI input signal is equalized, re-clocked, and routed to the Loop Through connector. This connector may also be used for cascading to another 3G-AE 100. NOTE: It is not required to connect a device to the Loop Through connector in order to extract audio from the input device. d Analog Outputs — Connect up to four audio output devices to the Analog Outputs, using a cable with a balanced or unbalanced 3.
Operation Audio Group Selection The 3G-AE 100 supports up to sixteen channels (eight stereo pairs) of embedded digital audio. SDI audio is divided into four groups; each group has four channels (two stereo pairs). When a group is enabled, its channels are extracted and routed to the 3G-AE 100 analog output ports. The Group Select DIP switch can enable two groups at the same time: • To enable groups 1 and 2, set the Group Select switch to 1/2. Group 1 is output on Group is output on the top1ports.
Reference Information This section covers the following: • • SDI Audio Channel Designation Mounting SDI Audio Channel Designation The following table shows the typical SDI audio channel designations for SDI audio groups 1/2 and 3/4. • Audio groups 1/2 (AES channel pairs 1-4): AES AES SDI Pair Channel Channel Group number number No.
Mounting Tabletop Placement Attach the four provided rubber feet to the bottom of the unit and place it in any convenient location.
