C. General Operational requirements:
1. Audio Support-‐ due to the varying nature of projects, embedded inputs, outputs and
multiviewer outputs should be capable of handling an associated 16 channels of audio.
2. The System shall support channel swapping and channel exchange such that any audio input
signal in the system can be routed with any video in any combination.

• GV Node is capable of performing 16 channels of de/embed on every SDI I/O

• GV Node Multiviewers support 16 ch. audio probing/meters per PiP and one stereo pair for monitoring
• GV Node includes a 4,608x4,608 audio matrix for mono level channel swapping to/from de/embedders and
AES-67 bundles

3. All Outputs other than those associated with feeding multiviewers should be capable of clean
disturbance free switching of video and quiet pop free switching of audio.
4. Switching action should be no more that one frame between request to switch and
implementation (take).
