6.2 Cascading SDI-AES De-Embedder / SDI-AES Embedder Units

You can cascade up to four interconnected 6809 SDI-AES Embedder units with up to four interconnected 6808 SDI-AESDe-Embedderunits1 to provide eight streams of AES, each stream containing two digital audio channels (see Figure 6 and Figure 7).

To cascade four 6809 and four 6808 units, do the following:

1.Connect up to 16 analog audio sources to the analog inputs on an AES Audio Router (A/D), and connect each of the eight AES outputs2.

2.Connect an SDI source to the SDI IN BNC connector on the 6809 unit # 1 and interconnect3 the four 6809 units.

3.Connect the SDI OUT BNC connector on 6809 unit # 4 to the SDI IN BNC connector on 6808 unit # 1, and interconnect4 the four 6808 units.

4.Connect the two AES OUTPUT BNC connectors on each 6808 unit5.

5.On each 6809 / 6808 unit, set the GROUP SELECT dipswitches to choose the audio group (see section 5￿ .2.1).

6.On each 6809 / 6808 unit, connect a 12V DC power adapter to the power socket and connect the adapter to the mains electricity6.

2 Connect the AES OUTPUT 1 to the AES INPUT A BNC connector, and the AES OUTPUT 2 to the AES INPUT B BNC connector (6809 unit # 1). Connect the AES OUTPUT 3 to the AES INPUT A BNC connector, and the AES OUTPUT 4 to the AES INPUT B BNC connector (6809 unit # 2). Connect the AES OUTPUT 5 to the AES INPUT A BNC connector, and the AES OUTPUT 6 to the AES INPUT B BNC connector (6809 unit # 3). Connect the AES OUTPUT 7 to the AES INPUT A BNC connector, and the AES OUTPUT 8 to the AES INPUT B BNC connector (6809 unit # 4)

3 Connect the SDI OUT BNC connector on unit # 1 to the SDI IN BNC connector on unit # 2; connect the SDI OUT BNC connector on unit # 2 to the SDI IN BNC connector on unit # 3; and connect the SDI OUT BNC connector on unit # 3 to the SDI IN BNC connector on unit # 4

4 Connect the SDI LOOP BNC connector on unit # 1 to the SDI IN BNC connector on unit # 2; connect the SDI LOOP BNC connector on unit # 2 to the SDI IN BNC connector on unit # 3; and connect the SDI LOOP BNC connector on unit # 3 to the SDI IN BNC connector on unit # 4

5 On 6808 unit # 1, connect the AES OUTPUT A BNC connector to the AES stream 1, and the AES OUTPUT B BNC connector to the AES stream 2. On 6808 unit # 2,connect the AES OUTPUT A BNC connector to the AES stream 3, and the AES OUTPUT B BNC connector to the AES stream 4. On 6808 unit # 3, connect the AES OUTPUT A BNC connector to the AES stream 5, and the AES OUTPUT B BNC connector to the AES stream 6. On 6808 unit # 4, connect the AES OUTPUT A BNC connector to the AES stream 7, and the AES OUTPUT B BNC connector to the AES stream 8

6 As an option, you can purchase the Kramer VA-50P 6 Port Universal 12-Volt Power Supply, enabling you to supply power to up to 6 Kramer devices that require 12VDC
