Description
|
The Magni AVM-510A-T Automated Video and Audio Monitor is a dual standard (NTSC and PAL) and multi-format full-featured rasterizing waveform monitor and vectorscope with comprehensive measurement and reporting capabilities. Magni’s Logbook software, a standard accessory with the AVM-510A-T, provides user friendly Windows based remote control and monitoring using RS-232, telephone modems, or Ethernet. It fills the need of providing high quality and economical NTSC / PAL measurement products during the long transition period of analog to digital television. Magni’s patented raster technology with 10-bit signal processing provides accurate and smooth displays on a standard color picture monitor.
The Magni AVM-510A-T adds a transmitter measurement set to the AVM-510A Automated Video Monitors . It is a full-featured rasterizing waveform monitor and vectorscope with comprehensive measurement and error reporting capabilities. Magni’s patented raster display technology provides bright and sharp waveform and vector displays that resemble familiar CRT displays. All displays are routable so they can be viewed anywhere in a facility and on existing picture monitors. All AVM-510A-T monitors are dual standard (NTSC and PAL) and multi-format (Beta, MII, S-Video, EBU and GBR). The AVM-510A-T also saves space by occupying only a single rack unit (1 RU). The AVM-510A-T is an active monitoring system with reporting, alarming, and numerical readouts on “Program Video” parameters. Automated Measurement sets provide graphic displays and numeric readouts on program video and standard broadcast Vertical Interval Test Signals (VITS) for simplified QC and testing. In any “Out of Limit” condition, the system highlights the pertinent parameter in red, activates a ground closure, and generates a report to a personal computer or printer with time code (VITC) or real time/date stamp. The AVM-510A-T is ideally suited for transmitter site monitoring and remote control from a personal computer, or any other control system providing an RS-232 interface, over a Local Area Network (LAN) or Wide Area Network (WAN). Magni’s Windows based LOGBOOK II and LOGBOOK ME softwares provide full front panel control and easy viewing of bit maps of VITS, waveform/vector displays and measurement screens. LOGBOOK ME enables the users to program and control multiple events including multiple units. The AVM-510A-T adds a Transmitter measurement set with ZERO CARRIER REF. PULSE PRESENCE INDICATOR to the standard AVM-510A measurement sets.
