BMD embedding audio on SDI

I need to embed up to 8 channels of audio on a single SDI line. These devices can be chained together to provide up to 16 audio channels. (It would require 4 units to accomplish 16 analog channels.) My setup was 8 direct out audio channels from a analog Allen & Heath mixer. Doing a sound check revealed the BMD needs line level inputs and the direct outs were very low level audio. I went head and recorded the low level audio and found in post I could bring the levels up with little or no added noise. I have also used one to embed audio on channels 3&4, bypassing 1&2, ie I needed the audio on 1&2 and need to add 3&4. This worked great. Hope this helps.
