Introduction 1 Introduction Welcome to Kramer Electronics (since 1981): a world of unique, creative and affordable solutions to the infinite range of problems that confront the video, audio and presentation professional on a daily basis. In recent years, we have redesigned and upgraded most of our line, making the best even better! Our 350-plus different models now appear in 8 Groups1, which are clearly defined by function.
Overview a cable equalized (up to 350m of input cable) and reclocked SDI output (loop), and de-embeds the audio from the SDI stream.
Your SDI-AES De-Embedder / SDI-AES Embedder 4 Your SDI-AES De-Embedder / SDI-AES Embedder Sections 4.1 and 4.2 define the 6808 SDI-AES De-Embedder, and the 6809 SDI-AES Embedder, respectively. 4.

Using the SDI-AES De-Embedder / SDI-AES Embedder 5.1 Connecting the 6808 SDI-AES De-Embedder To connect the 6808 SDI-AES De-Embedder, as the example in Figure 3 illustrates, do the following1: 1. Connect an SDI source (for example, a digital video player) to the SDI IN BNC connector. 2. Connect the SDI LOOP BNC connector (OPTIONAL) to the SDI IN BNC connector on an additional unit to increase outputs (see Figure 7). 3.
Using the SDI-AES De-Embedder / SDI-AES Embedder 5.2 Connecting the 6809 SDI-AES Embedder To connect the 6809 SDI-AES Embedder, as the example in Figure 4 illustrates, do the following1: 1. Connect an SDI source (for example, a digital video player) to the SDI IN BNC connector. 2. Connect the SDI OUT BNC connector to an SDI and AES/EBU acceptor or to the SDI IN BNC connector on a 6808 SDI-AES De-Embedder unit (see Figure 6). 3.
Using the SDI-AES De-Embedder / SDI-AES Embedder 5.2.1 Setting the GROUP SELECT Dipswitches Set the GROUP SELECT dipswitches1 to choose the audio group. For example, to choose audio group 3, set DIP 3 OFF2.
Linking SDI-AES De-Embedder / SDI-AES Embedder Units 6 Linking SDI-AES De-Embedder / SDI-AES Embedder Units Section 6.1 describes how to connect a 6809 SDI-AES Embedder to a 6808 SDI-AES De-Embedder. Section 6.2 describes how to cascade 6809 SDI-AES Embedder / 6808 SDI-AES De-Embedder units. 6.1 Connecting an SDI-AES Embedder to an SDI-AES De-Embedder You can use a single coax cable (as opposed to separate audio and video cables) to transmit video (SDI) and audio (AES) data up to 300m.
Linking SDI-AES De-Embedder / SDI-AES Embedder Units 6.2 Cascading SDI-AES De-Embedder / SDI-AES Embedder Units You can cascade up to four interconnected 6809 SDI-AES Embedder units with up to four interconnected 6808 SDI-AES De-Embedder units1 to provide eight streams of AES, each stream containing two digital audio channels (see Figure 6 and Figure 7). To cascade four 6809 and four 6808 units, do the following: 1.
