Miranda AMX-3981 3G/HD/SD 8 AES audio and Metadata embedder - AMX-3981



The AMX-3981 is an advanced, high quality audio processor which embeds up to eight (8) AES signals into a 3G/HD/SD video signal. Each AES input can accept different sample rates, or even asynchronous audio, and will be resampled at 48 kHz by a sample rate converter, which can be manually or automatically disabled in the presence of non-PCM audio. The AMX-3981 can simultaneously process up to 32 channels of audio (16 channels from the discrete AES inputs, and 16 channels of embedded audio). Functions include downmixing, proc amp, channel shuffling and mixing. Options include automatic loudness control, dynamic processing (limiter, compressor and expander) and loudness measurement. The AMX-3981 generates audio/video fingerprints (via an iControl option) to detect and measure lip sync errors in a broadcast facility.

Key Features

Video

  • 3G/HD/SD input

  • Supports 3Gb/s level A (mapping 1) and level B

  • Audio/video de-glitcher to handle video hot switch at the input

  • Automatic detection of input video loss and switchover to local grey for continuity of embedded audio

  • Flexible HD/SD reference using the internal URS frame reference

  • Minimum processing delay of 8 µs, but additional delay can be added up to 15 frames

  • Optional optical fiber module

  • A/V fingerprint generation option for lip sync measurement


Metadata

  • AFD (SMPTE-2016), VLI (RP-186) and WSS insertion
