TANDEM10-VF audio embedder and de-embedder

Powerful embedding and de-embedding

TANDEM10-VF is a very powerful and flexible four group audio embedder/de-embedder system. You can use it when you need to embed and de-embed at the same time or if you want a single product for use as an embedder or de-embedder as required.

Crystal Vision has always been known for creating the industry's most flexible embedded audio products. Not only can TANDEM10-VF be used as either an embedder, a de-embedder or a mixed embedder/de-embedder, it can be used with AES, analogue audio or a mixture of both.

TANDEM10-VF can be used with a variety of signals. It works with 3Gb/s, HD and SD video and with synchronous 48kHz AES, asynchronous 48kHz AES, synchronous Dolby E and analogue audio.

TANDEM10-VF provides flexible embedding and de-embedding of external audio. Using piggybacks TANDEM10-VF can input and output a mixture of up to eight AES stereo pairs and four analogue audio stereo pairs (or eight mono channels) – with this external audio easily combined with audio embedded in the incoming video input using the powerful audio routers.

TANDEM10-VF offers the most video outputs yet on a Crystal Vision embedder/de-embedder, while other useful features include audio and video processing, flexible delay compensation, fibre input/output connectivity and comprehensive signal monitoring.

Embed and de-embed analogue or digital audio (or both)

TANDEM10-VF embeds and de-embeds external audio by fitting up to two audio piggybacks to the main card. These external channels can be routed to or from any of the four audio groups processed by TANDEM10-VF.

Three different piggybacks are available. The 3G-AIP2 is used for inputting two stereo pairs or four mono channels of external analogue audio. The 3G-AOP2 is used for outputting two stereo pairs or four mono channels of analogue audio. The DIOP4 is used for inputting or outputting four stereo pairs of external digital audio; four bi-directional AES ports allow each stereo pair to be independently configured as input or output.

It is possible to fit two of the same piggybacks or to fit two different piggybacks to create the product required. For example, analogue and digital piggybacks can be mixed to create a hybrid system – ideal for those using analogue microphones with digital audio mixers in the studio.

TANDEM10-VF is aware of which piggybacks are fitted and adjusts the menus and audio routers to reflect the options available.

The following table shows the combinations of piggybacks allowed:

TANDEM10-VF piggyback combinations
Front position (nearest handle)	Rear position (nearest edge connector)	This combination allows you to...
None	None	Shuffle or process audio from your input video
DIOP4	None	Input and/or output four external AES stereo pairs (each stereo pair configured independently as input or output)
3G-AIP2	None	Input two external analogue stereo pairs (or four mono channels)
3G-AOP2	None	Output two analogue stereo pairs (or four mono channels) externally
DIOP4	DIOP4	Input and/or output eight external AES stereo pairs (each stereo pair configured independently as input or output)
DIOP4	3G-AIP2	Input and/or output four external AES stereo pairs (each stereo pair configured independently as input or output) and input two external analogue stereo pairs (or four mono channels)
DIOP4	3G-AOP2	Input and/or output four external AES stereo pairs (each stereo pair configured independently as input or output) and output two analogue stereo pairs (or four mono channels) externally
3G-AIP2	3G-AIP2	Input four external analogue stereo pairs (or eight mono channels)
3G-AIP2	3G-AOP2	Input two external analogue stereo pairs (or four mono channels) and output two analogue stereo pairs (or four mono channels) externally
3G-AOP2	3G-AOP2	Output four analogue stereo pairs (or eight mono channels) externally

Powerful audio routing

TANDEM10-VF includes powerful audio routing, allowing full shuffling and overwriting of the mono channels taken from the incoming video input and input piggybacks.

At the heart of TANDEM10-VF are two mono audio routing matrices. The first is the Embedded output router which is used to select which of up to 32 audio input channels (16 channels de-embedded from the input video and 16 channels from two input piggybacks) should be embedded into up to four groups on the output video. HANC cleaning removes the original version of old groups. The second is the Discrete output router and is used to select which of up to 32 audio input channels should be output externally as AES or analogue audio via the DIOP4 or 3G-AOP2 piggybacks.

Easy to match all your signals

As well as featuring short minimum delays for both the audio and video to help prevent system lip-sync complications, TANDEM10-VF makes it easy to compensate for any delay between the incoming video and audio and match all the signals.

An adjustable audio delay of up to 400ms (adjustable in 1ms steps) provides flexibility in compensating for any audio delays introduced by other equipment.

Up to ten frames of video delay (adjustable in one frame steps) can be used to match any big system delays, such as those created by Dolby E encoding and decoding or transcoding to AC3 and re-embedding. This allows the video and audio timing to be brought back into alignment at points where it matters (such as when switching signals or approaching a mixer) and therefore avoid lip-sync errors.

Optimise the audio

TANDEM10-VF includes full audio processing of the linear AES.

The audio levels can be increased or decreased to match the rest of your system, or even be muted to silence. There are 32 audio gain controls, one for each of the available input channels. Each gain control is independently adjustable between +18dB and -18dB in 0.1dB steps.

Each of the audio input channels can also be individually inverted – allowing you to correct for any reversed wiring of differential pairs. Stereo to mono conversion is available to help those broadcasting a multi-language service.

Audio resampling is set by default (except for Dolby E) and is used to seamlessly match the timing of audio signals when the user-controlled delay is altered.

Optimise the video

TANDEM10-VF includes a video proc-amp for picture optimisation, with adjustment of the video gain, black level and independent RGB and YUV gains.

Fibre connectivity - on the card

If you need to embed and de-embed signals from beyond your local equipment bay, it’s easy to give TANDEM10-VF integrated fibre connectivity. Just order either the FIP-VF fibre input option, FOP-VF fibre output option or FIO-VF fibre input and output option.

With a fibre option fitted you could easily, for example, take signals from another part of the building and de-embed audio into the audio mixer, or embed audio from the audio mixer and then send the signals to another area.

Designed for SMPTE 297-2006 short-haul applications, the FIP-VF is used to receive an optical input and the FOP-VF to transmit an optical output using a Class 1 laser. The FIO-VF can do both – giving you simultaneous fibre input and output.

With a FIP-VF or FIO-VF fitted you can select your video input source to be taken either from the input BNC or the optical input.

Having the fibre integral to the board reduces the need to use up additional rack space for separate fibre optic transmitters and receivers – as well as saving you money.

TANDEM10-VF can also support a CWDM laser if required.

Remote control

All control is done remotely, with a choice of remote control and monitoring options for the TANDEM10-VF.

Hardware control options include an integrated control panel on the Vision 3 frame, the VisionPanel remote control panel and the SBB-4 smart button box.

Software control options include SNMP, our ASCII and JSON protocols and the VisionWeb web browser control. Try the TANDEM10-VF with analogue audio VisionWeb demo or the TANDEM10-VF with digital audio VisionWeb demo...

TANDEM10-VF is very straightforward to operate. See the REMOTE CONTROL section of the Specs for the extensive list of features that can be controlled and monitored.

Save rack space

Fitting in the standard Vision frames (currently available in 3U size), TANDEM10-VF is a space-saving 96mm x 325mm card that sits in one frame slot – allowing up to 20 embedders/de-embedders in 3U, depending on the rear module fitted.

TANDEM10-VF can be used with three different frame rear modules to access the inputs and outputs.

The single slot VR02 is used for 110 ohm AES or analogue audio applications which use BNCs for the SDI and provides three video outputs.

The single slot VR12 is designed for those using 110 ohm AES or analogue audio with a fibre input or output option. It provides two BNC video outputs with the FIP-VF fibre input option fitted, and three video outputs (one on fibre and two on BNC) with either the FOP-VF fibre output option or the FIO-VF fibre input and output option fitted.

The double slot VR13 is designed for all 75 ohm AES applications, including those using a fibre input or output option. It provides three BNC video outputs with the FIP-VF or when no fibre option is fitted, and four video outputs (one on fibre and three on BNC) with either the FOP-VF or the FIO-VF.

AUDIO INPUTS AND OUTPUTS

Up to two piggybacks can be added to the main card. Each piggyback allows either input or output of four external AES stereo pairs or two external analogue stereo pairs (four mono channels). These channels can be routed to or from any of the four audio groups processed by TANDEM10-VF

Use 3G-AIP2 to input analogue audio. Fit one piggyback for two stereo pairs (four mono channels) or two piggybacks for four stereo pairs (eight mono channels)

Use 3G-AOP2 to output analogue audio. Fit one piggyback for two stereo pairs (four mono channels) or two piggybacks for four stereo pairs (eight mono channels)

Use bi-directional DIOP4 to input or output 75 ohm or 110 ohm AES audio. Select one piggyback for four stereo pairs or two piggybacks for eight stereo pairs (with each stereo pair configured independently as either 24 bit AES input or output)

Different piggybacks can be used together, allowing embedding and de-embedding at same time and mixture of analogue and digital audio

There are rules regarding which piggybacks can be fitted in the front and rear positions

TANDEM 10-VF can embed or de-embed analogue audio, synchronous 48kHz AES, asynchronous 48kHz AES and synchronous Dolby E. Linear AES can be resampled. Dolby E cannot be resampled. A manual resampler on/off control allows TANDEM 10-VF to embed synchronous compressed audio such as AC3

DELAY THROUGH BOARD

Minimum embedding audio delay: <200us

VIDEO DELAY

Up to ten frames of video delay adjustable in one frame steps allows compensation for any big system delays such as Dolby E encoding and decoding and transcoding to AC3 and re-embedding

AUDIO DELAY

Adjustable audio delay of up to 400ms on each stereo pair will compensate for any delay between the incoming video and audio signals. Delay is either on or off for any given stereo pair or can be set to follow the video frame delay

AUDIO REPLACE

TANDEM 10-VF has two input/output mono audio routing matrices. The first is the Embedded output router, the second is the Discrete output router. This second router will not be shown if neither 3G-AOP2 nor DIOP4 piggybacks are fitted

These audio routers are auto configured according to the piggyback options fitted to the motherboard, to a maximum of 32 x 16 for each router

HANC cleaning removes the original version of old groups

AUDIO PROCESSING

Audio processing can be applied to linear AES only. It cannot be applied to Dolby E

Gain level adjustment on each channel between -18dB and +18dB in 0.1dB steps with 0dB calibration. There are a total of 32 audio gain controls, for the 16 channels of audio de-embedded from the video audio and 16 channels of external AES audio

Mute

Inversion

Stereo to mono conversion

VIDEO PROCESSING

Video proc-amp for picture optimisation, with adjustment for the video gain, black level and independent RGB and YUV gains

Video gain: Modify the gain of the whole video signal from 0 to +200%

RGB lift: Offset the colour component by +/- 10%

RGB gain: Modify the gain of the colour component from +80% to +120%

YUV lift: Offset the luminance, U or Y component by +/- 10%

YUV gain: Modify the luminance, U or Y component gain from 0 to +200%

ANCILLARY DATA

Ancillary data passed unless set to blank (by enabling VANC blanking)

AUDIO SILENCE

An audio level check is performed. The audio silence level setting can be selected from -48dBFS, -54dBFS, -60dBFS, -66dBFS, -72dBFS, -78dBFS, -84dBFS and -90dBFS. If the audio signal level falls below the selected level for a period of time from 2 to 120 seconds, then an alarm is triggered. The audio on the channels must be continuously silent for the full period – a single non-silent sample restarts the delay period
