Audio embedding into 4K SDI

Embed professional analog audio or AES/EBU into an SDI signal, including Ultra HD and 4K DCI formats. The converter suits recorders as well as other SDI devices and converters.

6G-SDIUltra HD4× analog8× AES/EBUPower supply included

4 analog or 8 AES/EBU channels

Each of the four jacks carries one analog channel or a pair of AES/EBU channels. Audio is embedded at 48 kHz and 24 bit.

Mixing desks

Add audio from the sound control room to SDI.

Analog recorders

Embed audio from an analog recorder with the picture.

SDI routes

The signal with audio continues to recorders and other SDI devices.

Extra channels

Add audio channels to video converters.

Four analog channels or eight AES/EBU

The converter embeds up to 4 channels of balanced analog audio or up to 8 channels of digital AES/EBU into the SDI signal. Each of the four jacks carries either one analog channel or a pair of AES/EBU channels (1 and 2, 3 and 4, 5 and 6, 7 and 8).

From SD to Ultra HD

The multi-rate 6G-SDI input detects SD, HD, 3G and 6G-SDI automatically and works with SD, HD, 2K DCI, Ultra HD up to 2160p30 and 4K DCI up to 30p. Reclocking stabilizes the output signal.

Redundant SDI input

In addition to the main SDI input, the converter has a redundant ALT SDI input. If the main signal is lost, for example when a cable is damaged, the converter automatically switches over to the redundant input and the SDI output with audio keeps running.

Standard jack connectors

Audio connects via standard 1/4 inch jacks, so no custom cables are needed. Sampling at 48 kHz and 24 bit matches the television standard, and the audio stays in sync with the picture.

6G-SDI Mini Converter range

The 4K model is designed for Ultra HD production; for SD and HD up to 1080p60 the more affordable Mini Converter Audio to SDI is enough. Both models have the same audio connections and the same setup with mini switches.

Setup with mini switches or over USB

Functions are selected with mini switches using the diagram printed on the converter: analog audio or AES/EBU, sample rate conversion, the channel group in SDI that the audio is embedded into and disabling individual channels. Over USB and the utility for macOS and Windows, settings can be changed from a computer and new software installed.

For the sound control room and the studio

The Mini Converter range of converters is built for 24/7 operation: the compact metal body fits into a rack in the sound control room, in the studio or in an outside broadcast truck. The connections are easy to reach and use standard cables.
