This compact de‑embedding unit is engineered to extract high quality audio from any SD, HD or 3G‑SDI signal, making it a reliable tool for modern broadcast environments that still depend on dedicated audio workflows. It automatically detects incoming SD, HD and level B 3G‑SDI formats, ensuring instant compatibility as formats change within live production chains or post‑production pipelines. This flexibility allows the unit to slot into complex infrastructures without requiring manual adjustments, maintaining a seamless signal path even as workflows shift between different resolutions and frame rates.
The device outputs up to four channels of balanced analog audio or up to eight channels of AES or EBU digital audio, enabling it to interface directly with professional mixers, monitoring systems, analog decks or digital recorders. Its 48 kHz and 24‑bit television‑standard sampling ensures that the extracted audio maintains broadcast‑grade precision, making it suitable for environments where accurate monitoring and synchronisation are essential. Whether feeding a sound desk, an external meter bridge or dedicated audio processing equipment, the unit preserves the integrity of the original SDI‑embedded audio.
Video compatibility is extensive, supporting NTSC and PAL in SD, a full range of progressive, interlaced and PsF HD formats up to 1080p60, and 2K DCI formats including 23.98p, 24p and 25p, as well as their PsF counterparts. Its adherence to SMPTE standards such as SMPTE 259M, 292M, 296M, 372M and 424M level B makes it suitable for integration with professional switchers, routers and SDI distribution systems. Internal reclocking further enhances signal stability by reducing jitter, ensuring robust performance even when feeding long cable runs or older equipment.
A redundant input is included for automatic failover, protecting the signal path during mission‑critical broadcasts where uninterrupted audio output is mandatory. Configuration is handled through the USB utility software, which also provides firmware updates to maintain long‑term compatibility. Power‑wise, the device ships with a universal 12‑volt international power supply and supports operation from 12 V DC sources, making it ideal for studios, mobile units and international deployments alike.
With its rugged build, comprehensive audio extraction capabilities and broad SDI format support, this converter provides a robust bridge between embedded SDI audio and traditional or digital audio systems used throughout professional broadcast operations.

Good to have if you've never seen the iTEP exam, but don't rely on it to boost your scores
Format: Paperback
This book is good in that it comes with two practice tests: one in the beginning of the book, one in the end of the book. The grading rubric is helpful too. However, the actual guide part of the book, doesn't help too much with how to improve test scores. What I like least about this guide is that it won't tell you which questions you answered incorrectly on the practice exams. A good test prep guide will tell you what you answered incorrectly, and will tell you what logic to follow to get to the correct answer. In the reading passages, it would be nice to know where I can find evidence to justify the "correct" answer. In the grammar section, it would be nice to know which rule I'm violating. Any test guide should always come with some testing strategies. I.E. If this question is taking up too much time, skip it and go to the next one. This guide lacks simple strategies like that. Simple strategies like that could be useful when incorporated into this guide because there are certain sections on the exam that you can go back to previous questions, but some sections where the "back" button is disabled.
Overall, if you've never seen an iTEP exam before, this book is certainly helpful in that it will give you an idea of what you will be testing for. However, this book alone won't help you achieve a score of 6. The table of contents itself will tell you there are only 86 pages of actual content covering test material. That's not enough to cover how to excel in the exam.

Don't buy it
Format: Paperback
It does not prepare for the real test.
Using it is absolutely not enough to be approved with good grades.
Too expensive for what it offers.
