Dublin, Ireland - July 24th 2006 –
Zandar Technologies will be Driving HD at IBC 06 as they demonstrate
enhanced HDTV monitoring capabilities in their MultiViewer range in
outside broadcast applications.
The Zandar stand #8.411 will feature an
OB
vehicle scenario with multiple Predator HD MultiViewers configured
across a bank of LCD monitors while in the outside exhibitions
(#OEH218), SBP's new
OB
vehicle will be open to visitors to show a working installation of
the FusionPro+ and Predator HD MultiViewers inside.
The International broadcast and production community will have
the opportunity to witness the outstanding flexibility and control
of Zandar MultiViewers - whether in the studio, control room or at
demanding live outside broadcast events.
The Predator HD MultiViewers (HD4, HD8, HD12 and HD16) offer true
HD quality images, driving high resolution displays up to 1080p with
auto-detect of SDI and HD-SDI signals. With
an extensive feature set, as standard, including audio and video
monitoring, UMD & Tallies, clock display, and LAN control, the
HD MultiViewers have numerous control options including the
intuitive Z-Configurator layout editing software, On-Screen Display,
GPI, and ZRP remote panel. The Predator range can also uniquely
output Dual HD across two displays at various 50Hz resolutions using
the ZdHT Zandar Dual Head display feature.
The modular FusionPro+ MultiViewer also
supports high definition resolutions up to 1080p.
Available in either 1RU or 3RU, this fully configurable
system combines multiple inputs in all common formats such as analog
video, SDI, HD-SDI, DVI sources, and audio, all in one system.
Like the Predator HD range, FusionPro+ is
easily set up and managed using the intuitive Z-Configurator layout
software with the ZdH Dual Head display capability available as an
option.
At IBC06, Zandar will demonstrate how the ZdH reduces capital
costs by seamlessly converting the MultiViewer into a wall
processor, capable of driving two displays as one virtual
super-screen. With the
ability to display any input on either output, images can also be
spanned across both displays to add further flexibility and making
it particularly suitable for space-saving
OB
truck installations.
All systems boast immediate startups and can be easily
reconfigured at the touch of a button, making this comprehensive
product range ideal for HDTV monitoring in a variety of
applications.
And there's more! At
IBC, the company shall unveil even further functionality to its
feature-rich MultiViewer systems including the superb control
options available with the all new Z-Controller software.
Z-Controller is a powerful monitoring tool that boasts
extensive alarm reporting and control features.
With Z-Controller, an operator can simultaneously control and
monitor multiple Zandar MultiViewer units as one wall.
All settings (alarm configuration, layout, audio) for each
MultiViewer within a predefined group can be seamlessly changed at
the click of a button. The Z-Controller also visually indicates
faults to the operator and allows for SNMP reporting and event
logging.
