Chapter 1: Introduction Overview The HD10AMA is a dual rate 4 channel analog audio Embedder/Disembedder. The Disembedder is always functional providing 4 outputs. The Embedder is user selectable, on a channel pair basis, to either “pass” input audio or embed input audio from the breakout cable. Analog audio levels are selectable. The HD10AMA automatically detects and configures to the input video standard.

User Controls The HD10AMA has an 8-switch DIP accessible through a cut-out in the bottom of the unit. The DIP switches are used to configure how the unit’s audio embedding and disembedding functions, and adjust audio levels. DIP Switch Setting LEFT RIGHT 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 The HD10AMA also has a jumper on the internal circuit board, accessible by removing the outer shell case of the HD10AMA, used in conjunction with the DIP switches 1 and 2 to select certain functions.

Chapter 2: Operation Internal Aux Jumper The AUX Jumper inside the HD10AMA case is used to pass or delete all incoming ancillary data packets in both the horizontal and vertical ancillary data spaces. In the default position (OPEN), ancillary data packets are preserved and passed through whenever possible (i.e., when audio packets for that group are not being embedded). This jumper setting affects the functions of DIP switches 1 and 2.
DIP Switch Settings DIP switch settings used to configure various functions are described below. Table 1. HD10AMA DIP Switch Setting Descriptions SWITCH FUNCTION DIP Set LEFT (default) DIP Set RIGHT 1 Audio Embedding for Channels 1/2 (EMBD 1/2) (ON) Overwrite or embed new channel 1/2 packets. (OFF) If AUX Jumper is OPEN (default): Pass any channel 1/2 packets from input SDI. If AUX Jumper is CLOSED: Delete all packets from input SDI.
Switches 3 and 4 Channel Mapping For Embedded Groups The following table shows how combinations of setting these two switches affects embedded channel mapping. Table 2.
