Overview

The 9034 is a high quality format converter that also includes a full 16 channel audio embedder, a 12- bit analog to digital video converter, a 8 channel 24-bit balanced analog to digital audio converter, and a full video frame synchronizer.

The 9034 has a full featured, high quality, 12-bit analog to 10-bit serial digital converter. The dual rate HD/SD analog video input can accept all common analog video formats and will autodetect between HD and SD.

The embedder functions like an audio router internal to the card. On the input side of the router are the up to 16 channels (8 pairs) of discrete AES input, up to 8 channels of differential analog audio input. On the output side are the up to 16 channels of embedded AES audio, and the up to 16 channels (8 pairs) of discrete AES output. The router acts as a full audio cross point: each of the 32 output channels (16 embedded AES, 16 discrete AES) can receive signal from any one of the 29 (16 discrete AES, 8 Analog, 4 tone generator, 1 silence) input channels. Each output also allows gain adjustment and optional polarity inversion.
