Audio groups are normally embedded into the HANC area of the 4:2:2 signal per SMPTE 272M. Miranda has expanded on this capability by permitting embedders to be cascaded and to also embed audio groups into time slots in the active picture area.
2 Installation 2.1 Unpacking Make sure the following items have been shipped with the ADX-102i/104i/108i. If any of the following items are missing, contact your distributor or Miranda Technologies Inc. • ADX-102i, ADX-104i or ADX-108i Digital Audio Demultiplexer • Rear panel labels •...
2.3 Rear Panel Label Several connector labels have been shipped with the ADX-102i/104i/108i. A label is to be installed on the frames’ rear panel in order to identify the module's external connectors. 2.3.1 Quartet-A-75 and Quartet-A-110 Frame To install the rear panel label on a Quartet-A-75 or a Quartet-A-110 frame, follow these steps while referring to Figure 2.1 and 2.2.
2.3.2 Symphonie Frame To install the Symphonie label, follow these steps while referring to Figure 2.3. 1. Locate the rear panel connectors associated with the ADX-102i/104i/108i module. Find the proper label according to your rear module type. 2. Apply the label to the connectors and press down until it rests onto the BNC connectors shoulder.
2.4 ADX-102i/104i/108i Electrical Installation Refer to Figure 2.6 for rear panel electrical installation. 4:2:2 IN: serial digital video input with active loop-through Connect a 4:2:2 serial digital video source to 4:2:2 IN. The ADX-102i/104i/108i accepts a 4:2:2 serial digital video signal in either 525 or 625-line format. This input must conform to the SMPTE 259M-C standard.

HD-15 connector (Figure 2.5) the signal may be used as 2 unbalanced signals or one side may be grounded. This signal conforms with the SMPTE 12M standard. Figure 2.5 LTC connector pinout (HD-15) 4:2:2 LOOP : serial digital video output An active loop-through of the serial digital video signal is provided by the 4:2:2 LOOP connector(s).
2.5 Impedance Selection Jumpers Depending on the type of rear module used with the ADX-102i/104i/108i, the proper output impedance selection must be set on the module. When used with an AES3 rear panel (Symphonie-R-AX, Symphonie-R-A110 or Quartet-R-A-110) set the impedance jumper to 110Ω. When used with an AES-3id rear panel (Symphonie R-A75, Symphonie-R-CX or Quartet-A-75) set the impedance jumper to 75Ω.
3 Operation 3.1 ADX-102i/104i/108i User Interface Figure 3.1 illustrates the ADX-102i/104i/108i's user interface situated at the front end of the module. The interface components include the following: • Digital video input status monitoring • Audio groups status monitoring • Embedded LTC status monitoring •...

Normal Mode When the menu is not being accessed we refer to this as normal mode. When in normal mode, the display is turned off. Automatic Exit From Menu After 1-Minute Interval If the menu is currently being accessed and no push-button has been pressed for 1 minute, the ADX-102i/104i/108i automatically exits from the menu thereby returning to normal mode.
Figure 3.4 ADX-102i menu hierarchy 3.3 Status Monitoring • The 525 LED turns on to indicate a 525-line serial digital 4:2:2 signal has been detected on the 4:2:2 IN BNC. • The 625 LED turns on to indicate a 625-line serial digital 4:2:2 signal has been detected on the 4:2:2 IN BNC.
• ERR (Error) The ERR LED will turn on if no serial digital 4:2:2 signal is input or if an input error has been detected. Make sure the source signal is properly connected to 4:2:2 IN and verify for any source equipment errors. •...
3.5 Linear Time Code Extraction (OUT->LTC) Follow these steps to extract sampled LTC from the selected ancillary data space (see section 3.10 for ancillary data space selection) of the video input LTC (SAMP) and output as LTC; alternatively, no LTC signal may be output (NONE). 1.
3.8 Audio and Time Code Delay (DLY) It is possible to add an audio delay of up to 6 fields, by steps of one field. The time code may be set to track the audio when a delay is applied. To add audio delay, follow these steps: 7.
Normally the audio groups are embedded into the HANC area of the 4:2:2 signal per SMPTE 272M. Miranda has expanded on this capability by permitting embedders to be cascaded and to also embed audio groups into time slots in the active picture area.
