3.1. SDI Audio Embed IP Core
The format of the embedded audio is in accordance with the following standards:
- SMPTE272M-ABCD standard for SD-SDI
- SMPTE299M standard for HD-SDI
- SMPTE299M standard for 3G-SDI (provisional)
This IP core supports AES audio format for 48-kHz sampling rate
This figure shows a block diagram of the SDI Audio Embed IP core.
The SDI Audio Embed IP core embeds up to 16 channels or 8 channel pairs. The input audio can be any of the sample rates permitted by the SMPTE272M-ABCD and SMPTE299M standards; synchronous to the video. If you want to embed audio pairs together in a sample audio group, the audio pairs must be synchronous with each other.
The SDI Audio Embed IP core consists of the following components:
- An encrypted audio embedder core
- A register interface block that provides support for an Avalon-MM control bus
When accepting the audio in AES format, the SDI Audio Embed IP core does one of the following operations:
- maintains the channel-status details
- replaces the channel-status details with the default or the RAM versions
