Internal Frame Synchroniser
An internal frame synchroniser is provided to accommodate slight
differences between the incoming frame rate and that generated by the
stable reference used by the Encoder.
Output on Video Loss
The Encoder can be software-configured to show, in the event of video
input loss, either:
·
A test pattern (with or without ident text)
·
A freeze frame (with or without ident text)
·
Cut to a black screen (with or without ident text)

Audio Encoding
General
Audio can be encoded to:
·
MPEG-1 Audio (layer 2) standard (sampling rate 32 kHz or 48 kHz).
·
Dolby Digital (AC-3)
13
(sampling rate 32 kHz or 48 kHz)
14
.
Output bit-rate is selectable in the range 32 kbit/s - 384 kbit/s
(dependent on configuration) for MPEG-1 Audio (layer 2) and
56 kbit/s - 640 kbit/s (dependent on configuration) for Dolby Digital
(AC-3) coding mode selectable between 1/0 and 2/0.
·
Dolby Digital (AC-3) pre-encoded audio (IEC 61937 specification) in
pass-through mode is also available (it only operates at 48 kHz). This
is where an audio stream has already been encoded externally, prior to
entering the Encoder.
·
Linear PCM
14
(SMPTE 302M).
·
Dolby E Pass-through
14
.
NOTE…
See
Annex G, Audio Modes
for details of setting up the audio.
13
Dolby Digital (AC-3) is only available when software option M2/ESO2/AC3 is purchased.
14
To achieve lip sync in all modes the audio option M2/EOM2/AUDLIN must be used
