 The SoundPals™ ASDM-8 HD Audio de-embedder offers the user an economic yet versatile means of ingesting the various digital video standards and de-embedding up to eight channels of analog audio at line level.
The unit auto-senses the video format (HD or SD SDI) that is applied to the looping input.
All eight line-level outputs are available on Phoenix connectors at the rear of the unit. Provision is made for two-channel headphone monitoring along with embedded group and channel selection.
Like all of the SoundPals™ line, the ASDM-8 is housed in a compact, rugged aluminum enclosure.
Features include:
- Active looping input
- 8 line-level analog outputs
- 2 channel headphone output with independent volume control
- AES/EBU group and channel selectors
- Compact size: 5.2”W x 1.62”H x 6.625”D (15.2x4.1x16.8 cm) less connectors
