P DM 5240 Reference Manual. Rev 2.1 Audio Processing The module will de-embed the complete audio payload from the incoming SDI stream (4 AES groups = 8 AES streams = 16 mono channels), and passed to the AES audio processing infrastructure, along with up to 8 external AES inputs. The type of audio (PCM, DolbyE or Audio Data) is detected by the module automatically. -

Page 17: Control System Gui
P DM 5240 Reference Manual. Rev 2.1 Control System GUI All LYNX CardModules support a computer interface which allows setting the modules parameters using a simple GUI interface. Access to all standard features and in some cases extended features is possible using this interface. The complex nature and extensive user settings provided on the P DM 5240 requires the use of the control system. -
Page 18: Overview
P DM 5240 Reference Manual. Rev 2.1 The “Event Log” at the bottom of the screen displays an individual timestamp’ed message for any error or warning condition in the system. The same information can always be found in the APPolo Control System’s textual logfiles. The primary GUI screens and functions are described in the following sections. -

The internal delay and signal timings can NOT be influenced or modified in the P DM 5240. For applications that require a manual adjustment of such delay values, consider the use of the LYNX P DM 5280 product. Audio Infastructure The complete audio payload of 8 AES is deembedded from the SDI input stream. -
Page 20: Audio Content Detection
P DM 5240 Reference Manual. Rev 2.1 group 3, however, is not guaranteed to be phase-aligned with the content of groups 1 and 2 (which had been there before already). I.e. if the content of the HANC space is re-arranged to accommodate for an additional audio group while other audio groups remain present, the additional groups are, by default, not guaranteed to be deembedded phase-aligned to the previous content. -
Page 21: Audio Processing
P DM 5240 Reference Manual. Rev 2.1 Audio Processing The Audio Processing block provides access to the detailed audio processing functionality. The following functions are available per mono-channel. Gain Adjustment [-66.3dB … +18dB] Phase Inversion [on / off] Mute [on / off] Mono Downmix per output mono-channel: enable the addition of the other (sibling) mono-channel as a simple (a+b)/2 downmix. -
Page 22: Audio Crossbars
P DM 5240 Reference Manual. Rev 2.1 Audio Crossbars After going through the audio processing stage, each internal audio stream is delivered to the output audio crossbar. Here, each of the possible audio destinations (embedder and external output) can select from all of the available signals. The output can be connected to a new source by simply clicking onto an existing connection and dragging and connecting the open handle to the desired... - Page 23 P DM 5240 Reference Manual. Rev 2.1 An embedded audio-group can only be embedded as a complete group containing two AES streams. If you want to replace only one out of the two AES streams in the SDI, you need to feed the other AES stream from the Deemedder (on the left) through the audio- processing block and the output crossbar to the Embedder, and re-embed it together with that other (new) AES content into the same group.
