MUX-8552
AES / EBU Multiplexer
The ideal solution for embedding 2 AES audio streams into an SDI signal.

- 2 AES inputs
- Provides 2 SDI outputs with embedded audio
- Multiplexed audio can be set to any AES group
- Optional analog audio input with 24-bit ADC (MUX-8552-C)
- -6 to +24dBu input range on analog audio option
- EDH insertion into SDI outputs
- 5-year transferable warranty
- Power: 2.8 Watts
