Yamaha MY8-SDI-ED: HD/SD-SDI Embed/De-embed Card

Experience unmatched flexibility in audio and video workflows with the Yamaha MY8-SDI-ED HD/SD-SDI Embed/De-embed Card. Engineered for compatibility with Yamaha digital mixing consoles and signal processors, this compact interface brings professional embed and de-embed capabilities directly to your SDI-based setups. By enabling the embedding of two audio groups into an HD-/SD-SDI output and the de-embedding of up to two of the four audio channels from an SDI feed, the MY8-SDI-ED simplifies signal routing, reduces cabling, and ensures precise synchronization between audio and video across live events, broadcast feeds, and studio environments. The LED audio status display provides real-time feedback, allowing engineers to monitor active paths at a glance and troubleshoot quickly on busy stages. Its slim footprint makes it easy to integrate into rack systems, transportable rigs, and permanent installations, delivering reliable performance without sacrificing space or workflow efficiency. Whether you are coordinating complex multi-room concerts, streaming productions, or studio productions, the MY8-SDI-ED is built to deliver clear, dependable audio alignment with your SDI video backbone.

• Embed two audio groups into an HD-/SD-SDI signal for output, enabling synchronized multi-channel audio to ride with video for seamless live sound, broadcast feeds, and multi-camera productions. This capability reduces the need for separate audio paths and enables streamlined, integrated signal routing from console to monitor, recorder, or display systems.
• De-embed up to two of the four audio channels from an HD-/SD-SDI feed, giving you flexible on-site monitoring, stage feeds, or alternative headphone and cue mixes without altering the primary video path. This is ideal for back-of-house monitoring, front-of-house cueing, or redirecting audio to supplementary recording devices.
• LED audio status display provides immediate, at-a-glance visibility of embed/de-embed activity and routing status. In fast-paced environments, this visual feedback helps technicians confirm correct channel assignments, detect active paths, and accelerate setup and troubleshooting.
• Compact, rack-friendly dimensions (120 mm x 40 mm x 176 mm) designed for discreet installation inside Yamaha consoles or compatible signal processing units. The slim profile supports clean cable management and easy integration into ready-made racks, portable rigs, or fixed installations.
• Built for compatibility with Yamaha digital mixing consoles and signal processors, offering plug-and-play integration and dependable performance. The card is designed to complement Yamaha ecosystems, delivering reliable embed/de-embed functionality with minimal setup time and robust operation in demanding live and studio environments.
