CHARON 8R1 - Overview

The Glensound Charon 8R1 is a very simple 3G-SDI audio embedder/de-embedder.

There are no controls on the Charon and audio is just passed simultaneously bidirectionally, 1 input to 1 output as above. This simplicity of operation is intentional for situations where basic 3G-SDI audio embed/de-embed functions are required without the excess functions of other units that inevitably cost more.

Network connections are fully redundant with primary and secondary connections via CAT5 copper Ethernet, or fiber via primary and secondary SFP cages.

At this time, the Charon is 3G-SDI (SMPTE 424M) only, and 6G or 12G are not supported.

The SDI input and output is via 2x 75Ω unbalanced BNC connectors.

The Charon 8R1 is a 19" rack mount unit with 2x VAC mains power supplies for redundancy.
