The UHD SDI Audio core is configurable as an Audio Embedder or an Audio Extractor.

When configured as an Audio Embedder, it can embed of up to 32 channels of AES3 audio data that is transmitted over anAXI4-Stream Audio Interface on to an SDI stream.

Similarly, when configured as an Audio Extractor, it can extract up to 32 channels of audio data from the incoming SDI stream, and output them in AES3 format on the AXI4-Stream Audio Interface. In both the configurations, it supports multiple audio sample rates (32 KHz, 44.1 KHz, and 48 KHz).

The UHD SDI Audio core is designed in accordance with SMPTE ST 272 for SD-SDI, SMPTE ST 299-1 for HD-SDI, and SMPTE ST 299-1 & 2 for 3G/6G/12G-SDI.
