DUAL HEAD IS BETTER THAN ONE
December 1st 2005
Dublin, December 1st 2005 -
Zandar
Technologies announces the release of ZdHTM
Zandar
Dual Head Display, a powerful new market leading technology for
MultiViewers, setting new standards with innovative functionality,
flexibility, redundancy and cost savings for broadcasters worldwide.
MultiViewers typically combine many
diverse inputs for display on a single large screen, thus replacing
the traditional monitor stack with a virtual monitor wall. Display
wall processors, on the other hand, take a few inputs and drive them
across many displays for seamless views. Zandar's ZdHTM blurs
the distinction providing an important and lower cost alternative
for Master Control Rooms and Network
Operation Centers.
Zandar's ZdH enabled MultiViewers combine support for multiple
inputs, of any format, and in any combination, with the ability to
drive two displays as one virtual monitor wall, seamlessly concocted
and simply controlled. Any of the inputs, up to 26 on the FusionPro+,
can be viewed on either display, including horizontally spanning the
displays. This level of flexibility greatly empowers the monitor
wall as an intelligent visual information display tool in critical
monitoring applications.
ZdH provides another
critical functional - display device redundancy. In the event of
failure of one display, the operator can instantly re-route all
channels to the remaining active display with no loss of function in
the control room, by recalling a pre-loaded recovery configuration.
Across a range of application areas,
ZdH brings benefits. When used to drive two displays independently,
ZdH effectively provides two MultiViewers in one chassis, with
consequent cost savings. Other savings can be made by using smaller,
lower cost screens to achieve the same overall display real estate
at a fraction of the price. For example, a 40" LCD is typically
more than six times the cost of a 20" LCD.
Zandar
's innovative ZdH technology allows broadcasters to use, for
example, 2 x 20" LCDs instead of a 40" LCD therefore reducing
capital equipment costs without loss of functionality or control.
This is a very cost effective way to achieve portrait displays too.
The range of resolutions supported
using ZdH includes the popular plasma, LCD and projection system
resolutions. ZdH is enabled via software license and can be factory
installed or provided as a field upgrade. Hence users can change the
functionality of their MultiViewer as needs change for even greater
flexibility.
ZdH is a major enhancement in output
display management. It allows users to combine displays to create a
video wall, driven by
Zandar
Predator or FusionPro+ MultiViewers and seamlessly
controlled by
Zandar
's Z-Configurator User Interface software. This innovative
technology is another 'first' from
Zandar
and is set to become an essential part of all good monitoring
systems.
