Certain specifications are presented here to assure the engineer that they are reasonable, to help plan the installation, and to help make certain comparisons with other processing equipment.
Some of the specifications are for features that are optional or may not yet be available at the time you place your order. Consult the current price list for details.
PERFORMANCE
Specifications apply for measurements from analog left/right input to stereo composite output and to TV analog left/right output.
Frequency Response (Bypass Mode):
Follows standard 50 µs or 75 µs pre-emphasis
curve ±0.10 dB, 2.0 Hz–15 kHz. Analog
left/right output and digital output can be
user-configured for flat or pre-emphasized
output.
Noise: Output noise floor will
depend upon how much gain the processor is
set for (Limit Drive, AGC Drive, Two-Band
Drive, and / or Multiband Drive), gating
level, equalization, noise reduction, etc.
The dynamic range of the A/D Converter,
which has a specified overload-to–noise
ratio of 110 dB, primarily governs it. The
dynamic range of the digital signal
processing is 144 dB.
Total System Distortion (de-emphasized, 100%
modulation): <0.01% THD, 20 Hz–1
kHz, rising to <0.05% at 15 kHz. <0.02%
SMPTE IM Distortion.
Total System L / R Channel Separation:
>80 dB, 20 Hz – 15 kHz; 90 dB typical.
Polarity (Two-Band and Bypass Modes):
Absolute polarity maintained. Positive-going
signal on input will result in
positive-going signal on output.
Processing Sample Rate: The 8382 is
a “multirate” system, using internal rates
from 32 kHz to 512 kHz as appropriate for
the processing being performed. Audio
clippers operate at 256 kHz and are
anti-aliased.
Processing Resolution: Internal
processing has 24 bit (fixed point) or
higher resolution; uses Motorola DSP56362
DSP chips.
Delay: The minimum available input
/ output delay is approximately 20 ms, as
determined by the advanced “look-ahead”
processing algorithms employed. This can be
padded to exactly one frame of 24, 25,
29.97, or 30 frames / second video.
Operating mode: Stereo or
dual-mono. In dual-mono mode, both
processing channels have the same subjective
adjustments (as determined by the active
preset) but are otherwise independent,
making this mode appropriate for
dual-language transmissions.
