3.3 High Signal Quality Recommendations
To achieve the best performance:
ñ
Connect only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding interference,
deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels
(often associated with low quality cables)
ñ
Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may
adversely influence signal quality
Position your Kramer DigiTOOLS 6808 and/or 6809 away from
moisture, excessive sunlight and dust

Using the SDI-AES De-Embedder / SDI-AES Embedder
5.1 Connecting the 6808 SDI-AES De-Embedder
To connect the 6808 SDI-AES De-Embedder, as the example in Figure 3
illustrates, do the following1:
1. Connect an SDI source (for example, a digital video player) to the SDI IN
BNC connector.
2. Connect the SDI LOOP BNC connector (OPTIONAL) to the SDI IN
BNC connector on an additional unit to increase outputs (see Figure 7).
3. Connect the AES OUTPUT A BNC connector2 (for channels 1-2) to a
digital audio acceptor for channels 1 and 2 (for example, DAT-Recorder A)
4. Connect the AES OUTPUT B BNC connector2 (for channels 3-4) to a
digital audio acceptor for channels 3 and 4 (for example, DAT-Recorder B)
5. Set the GROUP SELECT dipswitches to choose the audio group (see
section 5.2.1).
6. Connect the 12V DC power adapter to the power socket and connect the
adapter to the mains electricity.
Figure 3: Connecting a 6808 SDI-AES De-Embedder
1 Switch OFF the power on each device before connecting it to your 6808. After connecting your 6808, switch on its power
and then switch on the power on each device. Switching on the 6808, recalls the last status prior to powering down
2 When only one digital audio stream containing 2 audio channels is required, use either of the AES outputs, and leave the
other AES output unconnected

5.2 Connecting the 6809 SDI-AES Embedder
To connect the 6809 SDI-AES Embedder, as the example in Figure 4
illustrates, do the following1:
1. Connect an SDI source (for example, a digital video player) to the SDI IN
BNC connector.
2. Connect the SDI OUT BNC connector to an SDI and AES/EBU acceptor
or to the SDI IN BNC connector on a 6808 SDI-AES De-Embedder unit
(see Figure 6).
3. Connect an AES digital audio source (for example, DAT-Player A) to the
AES INPUT A BNC connector (for channels 1-2).
4. Connect an AES digital audio source (for example, DAT-Player B) to the
AES INPUT B BNC connector (for channels 3-4).
5. Set the GROUP SELECT dipswitches to choose the audio group (see
section 5.2.1).
6. Connect the 12V DC power adapter to the power socket and connect the
adapter to the mains electricity.

On the 6809, you can delete the entire vertical blanking interval (VBI) data
and embed the audio to Group 1, by setting all four GROUP SELECT
dipswitches ON. This lets you input an SDI stream with other (undesired)
embedded audio or other VBI information. The 6809 will delete this data and
start a new audio chain (cascading up to four 6809 units).

Section 6.1 describes how to connect a 6809 SDI-AES Embedder to a 6808
SDI-AES De-Embedder. Section 6.2 describes how to cascade 6809 SDI-AES
Embedder / 6808 SDI-AES De-Embedder units.
6.1 Connecting an SDI-AES Embedder to an SDI-AES De-Embedder
You can use a single coax cable (as opposed to separate audio and video
cables) to transmit video (SDI) and audio (AES) data up to 300m. To do so,
connect the SDI OUT BNC connector of the 6809 SDI-AES Embedder to the
SDI IN BNC connector on the 6808 SDI-AES De-Embedder, as the example
in Figure 5 illustrates:

Linking SDI-AES De-Embedder / SDI-AES Embedder Units
6.2 Cascading SDI-AES De-Embedder / SDI-AES Embedder Units
You can cascade up to four interconnected 6809 SDI-AES Embedder units
with up to four interconnected 6808 SDI-AES De-Embedder units1 to provide
eight streams of AES, each stream containing two digital audio channels (see
Figure 6 and Figure 7).
To cascade four 6809 and four 6808 units, do the following:
1. Connect up to 16 analog audio sources to the analog inputs on an AES
Audio Router (A/D), and connect each of the eight AES outputs2.
2. Connect an SDI source to the SDI IN BNC connector on the 6809 unit # 1
and interconnect3 the four 6809 units.
3. Connect the SDI OUT BNC connector on 6809 unit # 4 to the SDI IN
BNC connector on 6808 unit # 1, and interconnect4 the four 6808 units.
4. Connect the two AES OUTPUT BNC connectors on each 6808 unit5.
5. On each 6809 / 6808 unit, set the GROUP SELECT dipswitches to
choose the audio group (see section 5.2.1).
6. On each 6809 / 6808 unit, connect a 12V DC power adapter to the power
socket and connect the adapter to the mains electricity6.
