Connecting the 6809HD HD/SD-SDI AES Embedder 5 Connecting the 6809HD HD/SD-SDI AES Embedder To connect the 6809HD HD/SD-SDI AES Embedder, as illustrated in the example in Figure 2, do the following1: 1. Connect an SDI source (for example, an HD/SD digital video player) to the SDI IN BNC connector. 2. Connect the SDI OUT BNC connector to an SDI and AES-3id acceptor. 3. Connect an AES digital audio source (for example, DAT-Player A) to the AES INPUT A BNC connector (for channels 1-2). 4.

These channels can be assigned to a group. You can set the GROUP SELECT dipswitches to choose the audio group. For example, to choose audio group 3, set DIP 3 OFF and the remaining DIPs ON.
Cascading 6809HD Machines 6 Cascading 6809HD Machines You can cascade up to four interconnected 6809HD SDI-AES Embedder units to create four streams of AES, each stream containing two digital audio channels (see Figure 4). To cascade four 6809HD units, do the following: 1. On each 6809HD unit, connect the A and B AES INPUTS. 2. Connect an SDI source to the SDI IN BNC connector on the 6809HD unit # 1 and interconnect1 the four 6809HD units. 3.
