AUDIO I/O
The HDX-SDI delivers comprehensive audio
capture and monitoring in stereo or full surround
with support for both 5.1 or 7.1 configurations.
The HDX-SDI provides four 8-channels banks of
audio output: analog, AES/EBU digital, SDI
embedded, and HDMI embedded. All four banks
can be active at once, and each can be
independently assigned to either channels 1-8
(Bank A) or 9-16 (Bank B).
The HDX-SDI also provides four banks of audio
input: analog, AES/EBU on DB-25 breakout,
SDI/HDMI embedded, and one mixed bank of
stereo AES/EBU on BNC connectors plus stereo
analog on RCA connectors. Any two banks can be
active at one time, except for the mixed bank,
which cannot be active at the same time as either
the analog bank or the AES/EBU DB-25 bank.
The HDX-SDI’s bank of quarter-inch analog TRS
connectors makes it a snap to connect cameras and
a wide range of video and audio gear up to eight
channels at a time.

output
■ Supports all standard audio sample rates from
44.1 to 96kHz

SYNC AND DEVICE CONTROL
The HDX-SDI provides comprehensive video and
audio synchronization features, including
timecode I/O, video ref with loop through, large
front panel timecode readout and RS-422 (Sony 9-
pin) machine control.
Synchronize your HDX-SDI system with reliable
performance and fast lock-up times. Perform
batch capture and edit/export to tape operations in
Premiere Pro with a 9-pin compatible camera or
deck connected to the HDX-SDI.
■ Video reference in and thru — resolve to
blackburst, composite or HD Tri-level sync.
■ Timecode in and out — generate and resolve to
timecode (LTC, SD VITC or embedded).
■ Front panel timecode display — provides frame-
accurate timecode readout when converting
timecode, or during playback from host software.
■ RS-422 machine control — control the
transports of a connected camera or video deck
using Premiere Pro.
■ Direct Digital Synthesis — DSP-driven phase
lock engine provides ultra-low jitter.
