This SDI de-embedder expansion card provides a single 12G/6G/3G/HD/SD-SDI input and a corresponding re-driven 12G/6G/3G/HD/SD-SDI output via BNC connectors, supporting a wide range of broadcast video formats for flexible system integration. The module extracts embedded audio from the incoming SDI signal, making all de-embedded audio channels available within the unit’s internal routing grid via the integrated web server. This allows selected audio channels to be easily assigned and routed within the wider system workflow.

Typical Applications
Ideal for outside broadcast (OB) environments where compact, high-density monitoring systems are required to extract audio from incoming SDI feeds while maintaining signal integrity for onward distribution. Its re-driven SDI output ensures reliable pass-through to additional equipment within complex mobile production workflows. It is also well suited to Master Control Room (MCR) installations, where embedded 12G-SDI audio needs to be monitored, routed, or analysed prior to transmission. In this role, it supports critical tasks such as signal verification, audio monitoring, and compliance checking, while maintaining a stable SDI feed for downstream systems.
