Figure 1. Simplified Block Diagram of 9033-SD Functions
The 9033-SD is an analog to digital converter that also features an embedder which can embed both
analog audio and AES. For the audio embedded on the SDI output, the card acts as a router that can
map any input channel to any channel on the embedded SDI output. The router inputs are discrete AES
audio, and differential analog audio.
Each router for the embedded output provides a gain and polarity control, and each router output can
be sourced from any input channel. This router feature gives your 9033-SD a great deal of flexibility.
There is also a video proc module to allow any necessary corrections to the inbound video signal. It has
separate controls for Luma gain (Y channel), Saturation (C channel gain), Lift (Y channel offset), and
Phase adjustment (C channel).
