CHARON 8R2 - Overview

The Glensound Charon 8R2 is a very simple 3G-SDI audio embedder/de-embedder, featuring two embedder/de-embedder modules.

There are no controls on the Charon and audio is just passed simultaneously bidirectionally, 1 input to 1 output per module 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 8R2 is available as a rack mount unit with 2x VAC mains power supplies for redundancy.

It is standard with 2x embed/de-embed modules.
