Switches
Teranex Mini Audio to SDI 12G’s switches provide the following settings:
Switch 8, 7 – Input Audio Selection Bit 1, 0

various on/off combinations for switches 8 and 7 you can select from four input audio options.
Switch 6, 5, 4 – Embed Audio Bit 2, 1, 0
Switches 6, 5, and 4 are represented as bits 2, 1, and 0, respectively. This simply means that by
setting various on/off combinations for switches 6, 5, and 4 you can select which channels of
your SDI signal you wish to embed audio into.
If you are embedding analog audio, there are eight combinations, allowing you to embed audio
into the channel pairs from 1-2 through to 15-16.
If you are embedding AES/EBU audio, there are four combinations. You can select between
embedding audio into channels 1 to 4, 5 – 8, 9 – 12, or 13 – 16
