Description

The Hamlet MicroFlex is the world’s smallest multi-format multi-standard handheld waveform, vector, audio, and picture monitor.

The Microflex utilizes a built-in 3.5" diagonal high quality VGA (640 x 480) TFT display shows the picture in 4:3 or 16:9 formats. Also shows conventional waveform, vector and audio displays together with data analysis.

With easy to plug-in option modules, operation in all current formats is allowed. Furthermore it enables future standards to be accommodated and allows easy upgrade for the user at any time.

The MicroFlex unit is capable of analysis, measurement and monitoring HD SDI, SD SDI and composite video signals and audio in its embedded, or AES/EBU formats and generating HD SDI and SD SDI video and audio signals dependant on the installed modules.

Vector, Waveform, Audio and Picture can be monitored and measured. Colored traces, Line Select, stuck bit detect (no activity on one data line).

A headphone socket and a speaker on the base let you monitor the decoded audio.

Using a standard USB connection, computer downloads and data uploads are easy.

The new Option 03 module, makes video and audio generation is available simultaneously with the monitoring and measurement allowing a closed loop testing environment to be set up with the device/system under test

Top it all off with an ergonomically designed machined aluminium case, operating for over 2 hours on 6 x AA batteries or from the supplied 12V power adaptor.

Patented proprietary 10 bit processing of all signals
