Feature Summary
Signal Routing
8 x 8 Video Matrix - the video channel from any SDIinput can be assigned to any SDIoutput.
384 x 384 Audio Matrix - for each SDI output, embed up to 16 audio channels from any de-
embedded SDIor MADIinput. Similarly, for each MADI output channel, assign audio from any
de-embedded SDIor MADIinput.
Video Processing
Frame Sync (per channel) - to align incoming video signals to the reference.
Variable Delay (per channel) - up to 8 frames, adjusted in 1 frame steps. Delay can be
applied to the video input and/or output. An auto phaser can be enabled to align video input
signals (within the line phaser range).
Format Conversion (up to 2 channels simultaneously) - up/down/cross format and aspect
ratio conversion. For example, you can convert a 1080i production to 720p and SD 16:9 or 4:3
at the same time.
Colour Correction (per channel) - standard ProcAmp and RGB-style colour correction. An
integrated Vectorscope or Waveform Monitor can be used to visualise the luminance and
chrominance components.
Channel ID and Timecode Insertion (per channel).
Audio Processing
Sample Rate Conversion (for all SDI in & out) - SRCs can be enabled, or disabled, on a
group-by-group basis for all embedded and de-embedded SDIchannels.
Variable Delay(per channel) - up to 320 ms, adjusted in 1ms steps. Delay can be applied to
the audio input and/or output, on a channel-by-channel basis.
Test tone Generator (per SDIembedder) - switched to either 400Hz or 1kHz sine wave.
Remote Control
Operational control is via a web browser interface, running on a computer connected to the pro8 via
Ethernet. The user interface provides fast and intuitive operation of all tasks. Multiple units can be
remotely controlled from any network access point - just open a different browser session to each
unit's IP address. In addition to controlling routing and parameters, the GUIprovides:
Video Thumbnail Streaming - to preview each of the 8 SDIoutput channels.
Audio PPM Metering - for every audio input and output channel.
Status Monitoring - for an overview of SDIand MADIinputs.
Quad Split Monitoring
The MV(MultiView) output, available on BNC or DisplayPort connectors, provides local monitoring of
up to 4 SDIinputs or outputs simultaneously.
