AJA HD10AM Dual Rate HD/SD 8-Channel AES Embedder/Disembedder

$75.00

The AJA HD10AM is a dual rate 8-channel AES audio Embedder/Disembedder. The Disembedder is always functional providing 4 AES outputs. The Embedder is user selectable, on a channel pair basis, to either "pass" SDI input audio or to embed input AES audio from the breakout cable.

AES inputs are sample rate converted to a 48KHz rate synchronous to the video input. The HD10AM automatically detects and configures to the input video standard.

About the AJA HD10AM Dual Rate HD/SD 8-Channel AES Embedder/Disembedder

The AJA HD10AM is a professional audio processing unit designed to handle the embedding and de-embedding of multi-channel AES digital audio within HD and SD SDI video signals. Its primary function is to either insert up to eight channels of external AES audio into an incoming SDI stream or extract up to eight channels of embedded audio from an SDI signal and output them as discrete AES signals. This capability is fundamental in broadcast and post-production facilities where audio from external consoles, servers, or recording devices needs to be perfectly synchronized and combined with video for recording, distribution, or transmission. The "Dual Rate" designation indicates its ability to automatically handle both standard-definition and high-definition SDI signals, providing versatile operation across different production formats.

Housed in a compact half-rack metal enclosure, the HD10AM is engineered for reliable 24/7 operation in equipment racks. It offers flexible routing and processing options, allowing users to map specific AES inputs to chosen embedded audio channel pairs (groups) within the SDI output. The unit provides clear front-panel metering and status indicators for both video and audio signals, enabling quick verification of proper operation. For facilities managing complex audio-for-video workflows, the AJA HD10AM serves as a critical interoperability tool, ensuring flawless synchronization and integration of high-quality digital audio with video throughout the production chain.
