P DM 5280 Reference Manual. Rev 2.1 Getting Started Most CardModules are installed into the rack frames and system tested in the factory. If this is an upgrade part or service exchange item then the module is supplied in a padded cardboard carton which includes the CardModule, rear connection plate and mounting screws.
Page 7: Product Description
P DM 5280 Reference Manual. Rev 2.1 Product Description The P DM 5280 Module is a high performance SD/HD/3GBit/s audio embedder and deembedder for AES digital audio streams. Eight external AES ports are provided which can be switched by the user individually as AES inputs or outputs.
Page 8: Video Input Formats
P DM 5280 Reference Manual. Rev 2.1 Video Input Formats The module has a multi-format serial digital input with automatic input detection. The module will detect the following input standards and configure the input stage automatically for operation in the connected format. SDTV Formats HDTV Formats 525 / 59.94Hz...
Page 9: Audio Processing
P DM 5280 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.

P DM 5280 Reference Manual. Rev 2.1 Optical Fiber The P DM 5280 UO and DO versions provide LC/PC connectors for single mode fiber cables (option). The fiber interfaces can be selected from a variety of different SFP style modules. Also from all of the 18 CWDM wavelengths a SFP module can be selected. Multimode fiber cables can be used also, but this will limit the max.
Page 15: Settings And Control
P DM 5280 Reference Manual. Rev 2.1 Settings and Control The P DM 5280 has an integrated micro-controller, which enables the module to be configured and controlled locally via the dip-switch or from remote when using one of the optional controllers and control software. Once set, all settings are automatically saved in non-volatile internal memory.
Page 16: Factory Preset Condition
P DM 5280 Reference Manual. Rev 2.1 DIP Switch 1 enables local adjustments. Setting it to ON enables the setting of the other DIP switches to configure the module. Setting it to OFF will prevent any local DIP switch settings from taking effect. NOTE: It is recommended to set DIP switch #1 to OFF to prevent from accidental changes to the stored module configuration if the switches are moved.

Page 18: Control System Gui
P DM 5280 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 5280 requires the use of the control system.

P DM 5280 Reference Manual. Rev 2.1 Overview Figure 12: P DM 5280 MAIN Tab The MAIN Tab (Figure 12) visualizes the module’s functionality. The audio and video signals are presented flowing from left to right. Selections are made using onscreen sliders, radio buttons, drop down selections and checkboxes.
Page 20: Audio Routing
P DM 5280 Reference Manual. Rev 2.1 Audio Routing All 8 AES channels are deembedded from the SDI input. In addition, up to 8 external AES inputs can be used. This makes a total of up to 16 AES inputs that can be processed and then assigned to any one of the outputs (SDI embedder and up to 8 external AES outputs).

P DM 5280 Reference Manual. Rev 2.1 the video after they have been timing-adjusted to match the processing delay of the video path. Video Timing Adjustments By default, the video output is set to “Frame Delay Mode”, which means that the SDI stream is delivered with a correct H/V alignment relative to the SDI input.
Page 22: Audio Infastructure
P DM 5280 Reference Manual. Rev 2.1 Even a late-audio situation (when video is earlier than audio) can be corrected by entering negative values as user audio delay. These negative values will then be subtracted from the internal audio compensation delay (see above). Input vs.
Page 23: Audio Content Detection
P DM 5280 Reference Manual. Rev 2.1 Such phase-aligned deembedding can optionally be guaranteed, even in the above case. This can be achieved by enabling the Parameter “DeembPhaseSync” on the “Params” tab (page 28). As a consequence, all deembedding will be re-initialized on a re- arrangement of the HANC content.

Page 25: Audio Crossbars
P DM 5280 Reference Manual. Rev 2.1 The repeating / dropping of frames happens at the exact same moment for DolbyE audio frames as for video frames. This guarantees correct lip-sync even if DolbyE content is processed independently from the SDI path. DolbyE Guardband Alignment: The AES path delay for DolbyE encoded streams will make sure that the DolbyE bitstream is embedded into the SDI stream with correct timing alignment of the Dolby Guardband.
Page 26: Embedder
P DM 5280 Reference Manual. Rev 2.1 Embedder All four embedded audio-groups can be (re-) embedded into the SDI output. An existing embedded group can also be removed from the SDI stream, even without embedding anything. (Re-) embedding a group will implicitly remove this same group from the input SDI stream, if applicable.
Page 27: Aes Port Setup
P DM 5280 Reference Manual. Rev 2.1 AES Port Setup The P DM 5280 provides a total of eight external AES ports. Each of these ports can be configured to be an AES input (receiver) or an AES output (source). By default, i.e. when delivered from the factory, AES ports 1 through 4 are configured as AES inputs, while AES ports 5 through 8 are configured as outputs.
