and 7/8.

Under the Audio 1 tab, the Embed to control under Analog Audio Inputs shows

that Channels 1-8 have been selected for embedding the selected analog audio

inputs.

The Disembed from control Under Analog Audio Outputs shows that Channels

1-8 are selected for disembedding.

The Embed controls are turned on for channel pairs 1/2 and 3/4, and turned off

for channel pairs 5/6 and 7/8. When an Embed control is turned off, it changes the

function from embed to disembed.

The reporting panel on the left, under the Status tab, shows that analog

audio connectors 1/2 and 3/4 are configured as inputs and are being used for

embedding to SDI channels 1/2 and 3/4. Analog audio connectors 5/6 and 7/8 are

configured as outputs and are being used for carrying the disembedded audio

from channels 5/6 and 7/8 from the SDI signal.
