BBG-EMDE-AES75
3G/HD/SD AES Audio Embedder / De-Embedder
(AES-3id BNC)
The BlueBox™ BBG-EMDE-AES75 3G/HD/SD AES Audio Embedder / De-Embedder
(hereinafter "BBG-EMDE-AES75") provides embedding and de-embedding between 16 AES
and embedded audio channels. Each AES pair can be set as input (embed) or output (receive
de-embedded). BBG-EMDE-AES75 provides eight BNC pairs (via a HD-15 connector or by
accessory BNC male breakout adapter cable, PN BBG-CA-75-BNCM).
Embed/de-embed select can be performed using a DIP switch on the bottom of BBG-EMDE-
AES75, or via a free remote control application that can be downloaded from
www.cobaltdigital.com > Support. This application then allows GUI control of BBG-EMDE-
AES75 via a USB connection. Refer to the "Installing and Using BBGConfig" sheet
provided with this unit if USB remote control is desired.

Connecting BBG-EMDE-AES75
1 Connect the supplied AC adapter to BBG-EMDE-AES75 DC power input 5-16VDC PWR.
2. Connect SDI input and output. (If BBG-EMDE-AES75 is being used purely as a de-
embedder with no SDI pass-thru to downstream device(s), the SDI OUT connector does
not require termination if unused.)
3. Connect AES connections as follows:
• If using accessory breakout cable BBG-CA-75-BNCM, connect this cable between the
AES I/O HD-15 connector on BBG-EMDE-AES75. AES breakout is as listed below.
• If it is desired to connect to your own AES audio HD-15 cable , make certain pinouts
comform to those shown below (view shows "looking into" BBG-EMDE-AES75 connector).

Embed Select Using DIP Switch Bank
BBG-EMDE-AES75 can be used in a local control mode using DIP switches to configure
embedding/de-embedding, or via USB remote control. Refer to diagram on rear page or unit
label for switch positions.
• If using DIP switch control, make certain switch SW1 is set to ON. USB remote control
is locked out in this mode.
• If using USB remote control, make certain switch SW1 is set to OFF. DIP switch local
control is locked out in this mode.
AES Receive SRC
BBG-EMDE-AES75 is equipped with audio embed adaptive SRC that allows asynchronous
48 kHz AES audio to automatically sync with the device 48 kHz timing for glitch-free
embedding. Individual, per-pair SRC auto-detects and disables SRC when a Dolby pair is
detected on an AES input pair.
Status Indicator
BBG-EMDE-AES75 has a Status LED on the side of the unit which functions as follows:
• Solid ON – Input lock OK
• Slow Flash – Unlocked to input video; input video not present
