Wheatstone HD-SDI Blade

Wheatstone HD-SDI Blade

de-embeds audio from four HD-SDI streams or 8 AES/EBU pairs (16 audio channels) per stream.

The HD-SDI BLADE is a specialty BLADE for de-embedding audio from an HD-SDI audio/video signal, used primarily in television applications. With the HD-SDI Blade, you can bring audio into the WheatNet-IP Intelligent Network from video production automation systems, routers, and other professional video equipment that uses HD-SDI. This 1RU device is capable of de-embedding up to four HD-SDI streams, with up to 8 audio channels per stream.  

The HD-SDI Blade has four SDI input BNC connectors and includes logic control, onboard utility functions and the dedicated controller that is at the core of its intelligence. Like other BLADEs, the HD-SDI Blade has its own CPU and operating system and provides a 1000BaseT (Gigabit) network interface for optimum network speed and reliability. It's AES67 compatible for interoperability with other AES67 compatible systems and devices, and has two built-in 8x2 stereo mixers. It comes with 12 universal logic (GPIO) ports for interfacing various external switches, indicators and devices for control purposes – as well as 128 software logic ports for routing and controlling devices anywhere on the network.
