The SDI Audio embedder is a versatile tool that allows you to embed up to 4 channels of analogue audio or 8 channels of AES/EBU digital audio into any SDI video connection. This makes it easy to add audio from devices like audio mixers and analogue decks to your SDI video setup, without the need for custom cables. The Mini Converter also offers a unique redundant SDI input for mission-critical tasks, as well as an SDI loop through for connecting to other devices.
 
Standard 1/4 inch jacks are built in for balanced analogue or AES/EBU audio. Because Mini Converters use standard 1/4 inch jack connectors for all audio connections, you can use standard cables commonly avalible from any pro audio store. Unlike other converters, Mini Converters don't need custom cables, as any balanced 1/4 inch jack cable can be used. Mini Converters are also unique as the same 1/4 inch jack connections can be switched between professional balanced analogue audio, or AES/EBU digital audio. This means you only need one model of Mini Converter for both analogue and digital audio. You can select the type of audio from one of the mini switches on the side of the Mini Converter unit. On modes with AES/EBU digital audio in, a sample rate converter lets you connect to any AES/EBU source, either synchronised, or un-syncronised. On HDMI models, you also have full access to the HDMI audio embedded in the HDMI video connection.
 
Mini Converters instantly switch between standard definition and high definition video formats and change over is automatic when the video input changes. A huge range of video standards are supported including, NTSC, PAL, 1080i/59.94, 1080i/50, 1080psf/23.98, 1080psf/24, 720p/59.94 and 720p/50 formats, plus new formats can be added via USB.
