Product Description
Audio International's SER-1001-x01-x is a stand-alone Serial
Digital Serializer that, depending on the model (see below) accepts
analog audio input signals and analog video input signals from an
external A/V device or devices or accepts analog audio input
signals only from an external audio device or devices.
SER-1001-101-x integrates a Serial Digital Serializer Board
that separately serializes one (1) analog audio source into an
AES3 (aka AES/EBU) serial digital format and one (1) analog
video source into a standard-definition (SD) serial digital interface
(SDI). The SD-SDI video input is compliant to level C of SMPTE
259M standards requirements. Each set of serial digital signals is
then routed to either compatible switching or de-serializing
devices. The input accepts stereo analog audio along with
Composite (NTSC, PAL, SECAM) video signals. Stereo audio
input is accomplished using 24-bit, 48kHz analog-to-digital
conversion.
SER-1001-201-x integrates a Serial Digital Serializer Board
that serializes analog audio sources into respective AES3 (aka
AES/EBU) serial digital formats. The serial digital audio signals
are then routed to either compatible switching or decoding devices.
The “-x01” in the model number designates the type of input
the unit accepts; SER-1001-101-x accepts analog audio input
signals and analog video input signals from an external A/V device
or devices, while SER-1001-201-x accepts analog audio input
signals only. The “-x” suffix designates the type of connector
utilized in installation; “-1” = Positronic and “-2” = D-Subminiature.

Power and ground connections are recommended to use 22
AWG, minimum, wiring in accordance with MIL-W-22759 or
equivalent.
Source input analog audio connections and output digital
audio connections are recommended to use 22 AWG,
minimum, shielded twisted pair cabling as necessary in
accordance with NEMA WC 27500 or equivalent.
Composite and SDI video connections (for the –101 model)
are recommended to use shielded coaxial cable V76261 from
PIC Wire and Cable length limitations are 50 meters with up
to four (4) interconnects permitted, as long as the connectors
do not create in-line impedance (example - the 50 meter
video cable can be broken up into five 10 meter segments).
In-line connectors must be rated the same characteristic
impedance; it must be designed for the cable and installed
properly. In the case of V76261 cable, the characteristic
impedance is 75 Ω. For longer cable runs, a transition to
RG59 cable, using BNC connectors, can be made.
All digital audio wire connections must be twisted shielded
cable with the shield properly grounded to the dedicated pin
at the source end to the dedicated pin at the load end.
Twisted shielded cable shall be 22 AWG (minimum) for digital
audio signals and shall be in accordance with NEMA WC
27500 or equivalent. Cable impedance must be 110 Ω +/10%.
