Page 4: Introduction
TANDEM10-VF provides a versatile solution for audio embedding and de-embedding for use with Vision rack frames from Crystal Vision. It has a single SDI video path with a de- embedder and an embedder which allow the extraction and insertion of up to 16 channels (four groups) of audio. - Page 5 Crystal Vision Introduction TANDEM10-VF functional block diagram Block Diagram Description SDI video is cable-equalised, re-clocked and passed through a de-embedder block where up to 16 channels of audio are extracted. The video signal is then processed allowing for adjustment of video gain, black level and independent RGB and YUV gains. This is followed by up to ten video frames of delay before the video is then passed to the embedder block where up to 16 audio channels are inserted.

Crystal Vision Control and Status monitoring Select to mono the channel pair. N.B. Only the first channel of the stereo pair is converted to mono, the Mono second channel is unchanged. The mono output is gain corrected to maintain unity gain. -
Page 22: Deembedded Input Delay
Crystal Vision Control and Status monitoring DeEmbedded input delay These controls can be used to match the video 0 to 10 frame delay, or to delay the de-embedded audio with respect to the video and compensate for any delay between the incoming video and audio signals. -
Page 23: Discrete Input Delay
Crystal Vision Control and Status monitoring Discrete input delay These controls can be used to match the video 0 to 10 frame delay or to delay the de-embedded audio with respect to the video and compensate for any delay between the incoming video and audio signals. The number of inputs will depend on the type of piggyback(s) and sub-board fitted. -
