MARKETPLACE /// MADI-CAPABLE & AVB MONITORING HAND-HELD TEST SIG GENERATOR


The SAM1 MADI from TSL Products provides multiple source monitoring of up to 20 channels of audio from MADI, embedded HD-SDI, AES and analogue sources on a user-configurable screen. It gives users immediate access to any combination of formats, delivering a comprehensive visual and audio feedback for confidence monitoring in a compact unit. Also from TSL Products is the space-efficient PAM1 MK2 audio monitor. Dolby encoded, multi-language, 5.1 audio and loudness compliance measurement features are packaged in a space- efficient 1RU chassis. Debuting at NAB are the PAM1 and PAM2 AVB Audio Monitoring Units, which provide all the power and capability of TSL Products’ PAM precision audio monitoring systems, while specifically addressing the needs of an audio-over- IP AVB facility infrastructure. www.tsl.co.uk


NEW FIBRE CAMERA BACK


Miranda has just introduced its Telecast brand CopperHead 3404K camera-mountable fibre transceiver. Designed to take advantage of lightweight, easy to install fibre, the 4K UHDTV-


ready CopperHead 3404K transceiver requires only two strands of fibre optic cable to carry all bi-directional signals, including four 3Gbps HD/SDI paths, from camera locations to truck or control room or around a remote production site. The dual-strand bi- directional system enables 4K cameras to be easily multi- purposed for ENG, digital cinematography and studio applications without the constraints imposed by copper connections. www.miranda.com


HD CABLES & BNC CONECTORS


Belden has extended its range of coaxial digital video cables with the new Belden Duobond Plus DNH series which makes the termination of Belden's 1-Piece HD BNC very easy and much faster than the traditional 3-Piece BNCs. Also, a new line of Belden Brilliance Broadcast High-Definition BNC Connectors exceeds SMPTE return loss standards, providing excellent headroom and true 75 ohm performance. www.beldensolutions.com


Joseph Electronics has announced the availability of the new Camera Caddie-FP Series of fibre acquisition tools. Designed to reduce setup and teardown time while providing all of the fibre signal transport components necessary to streamline live video acquisition workflows, the series is comprised of custom, portable, flypack- friendly packages that have been optimally configured to meet the demands of different types of events, such as entertainment, news, and specific sports. Base units can be configured for stand- alone or dual-rackmount scenarios, while the camera side has the flexibility of using local power or being powered over short or long distances via Lemo- or Neutrik-


LYNX Technik AG has launched its new Testor | lite 3G, a cost- effective, compact, hand held multi-format test signal generator with local touch-screen control. Designed to address the demands of testing multi-format digital infrastructures, the new Testor | lite 3G supports SD/HD/3G 4:2:2, 4:4:4 and dual-link video formats and generates two simultaneous outputs, as well as one sync output. In addition, Testor | lite 3G generates a 3D test pattern either as two separate signal outputs (left eye, right eye) or one 3G-SDI 1080P 4:4:4 dual-stream signal (Level B). The user can select from pre-defined static or dynamic moving patterns for each of the SDI outputs. Also available is a dynamic EBU Digital AV sync test pattern that has been designed to address a number of test and alignment requirements in a multi-format digital environment. www.lynx-technik.com


FILE-BASED QC


The latest version of Digimetrics’ Aurora 5.0 introduces a completely new architecture to both substantially improve production times of HD and adaptive bit rate material, but additionally ensures production worthiness for workflows involving 4K . Aurora 5.0’s dynamic CPU and GPU allocation ensures optimal utilization of all available resources,


allowing common IT hardware to achieve HD material testing at speeds of 4X+ faster than real-time with 4K material testing faster than real-time. Digimetrics’ focus on minimizing false positives with a high


degree of correlation to human perception continues to show improvement in Aurora 5.0, with every quality/baseband metric having been tuned using Digimetrics’ machine-learning loop. Aurora 5.0 enables testing for metadata gate-keeping, broadcast and streaming distribution constraints, editing errors and visual/audible artefacts in the baseband material. www.digi-metrics.com


HD OVER FIBRE


equipped hybrid copper/fibre cables. Customers get one 3G/HD-SDI video signal in each direction, sync back to the camera for genlock, one line-level audio in each direction, intercom (Studio Technologies Model 37), two GPIs, and data for camera control. There are options for 4K and Ethernet as well. Remote power options are provided by


Connexion Designs and an exclusive OPTC port on all camera caddies allows operators to daisy-chain additional Caddie systems in the series on a single camera cable. All feeds and returns ride on the original camera cable and can be deployed to distances of up to 10 kilometres with local power, or up to 1,640 feet (500


meters) when powered remotely from the base station. www.josephelectronics.com
