Studio Technologies Model 5152 Video Generator/Audio Embedder Module
Video Generator/Audio Embedder Module The Model 5152 Video Generator/Audio Embedder Module is a unique device suited for a variety of custom broadcast, post-production, industrial, and corporate multimedia installations. As a member of the 5100-Series of modules, the Model 5152's compact size belies its powerful video and audio feature set. At its most basic, the Model 5152 provides the ability to embed up to eight audio channels (four AES3 digital audio "pairs") into an SMPTE-compliant HD- or 3G-SDI video "stream." Unlike most stand-alone embedder products, Model 5152 embedding operation does not require an external source of SDI to be connected. Advanced circuitry within the Model 5152 supports the generation of a broadcast-standard high-definition SDI signal. And rather than reproducing a fixed test pattern, the Model 5152 has the capability to store and output two custom video images. The images, one for "720" and one for "1080," are based on bitmap (.bmp) files that can be created
