MULTIPLE MONITORING MULTIVIEWERS AT NAB 05!
March 15th 2005
Dublin, 14 March 2005 - Zandar Technologies, a leading technology
innovator and pioneer in MultiViewer systems, will exhibit its exciting
range of high quality multi-image display solutions at NAB 2005
on booth SU8367, in the South Hall, Upper Level of the Las Vegas
Convention Center.
This year's NAB event comes at a time when the company continues
its expansion following a decade of product innovation and continuous
growth. Zandar Technologies recently relocated to prestigious new
premises from where it launches its 2005 NAB campaign with a full
product showing.
The booth will feature four key product lines; the FusionPro, Predator,
DX and MX Series MultiViewers, reflecting the choice and scalability
that is popular with broadcasters worldwide.
As the span of broadcast technology ever increases so does Zandar's
range of products, meeting new MultiViewer and monitoring applications
which include interfacing with ever increasing new IT technologies.
“For Zandar, the convergence of broadcast and IT is accelerating,”
explains Deirdre Smith, CEO of Zandar Technologies. “At NAB
05, we will be showcasing a range of flexible solutions that not
only reflects these changes, such as the feature enhancements to
our flagship display processor solution, the FusionPro, but will
also demonstrate that our product range can match the specific requirements
of any display and monitoring environment“.
The modular FusionPro Series already supports simultaneous use of
broadcast video and computer sources for output to numerous high
resolution displays and features audio metering, in vision UMD and
tally displays as well as up to 26 pictures from a neat 3RU system.
LAN connectivity provides a single interface for control and configuration,
marking the trend towards integrated IT and broadcast systems.
With installs in many leading broadcast companies throughout the
world and sales having doubled in USA during the last year, several
new features of FusionPro shall be showcased at NAB including support
for DVI inputs, the addition of output display support for the SXGA
Plus resolution of 1400x1050, and a new Big Picture output and Preview
Window feature. This latest new feature facilitates the switching
of a selected input into the user selected Preview Window, generally
the largest window (or Big Picture) within the display. It is a
very useful tool for previewing a source before broadcast or to
enlarge that source for closer scrutiny, without occluding the other
inputs.
Addressing HDTV applications, the new Predator HD Series being exhibited
at this year’s show is an excellent solution for broadcast
monitoring applications where image quality is of critical importance.
The razor sharp picture quality is derived from powerful new image
processing technology. Driven by the need for cost-effective display
of HDTV sources, the new compact Predator HD4 provides significant
cost savings over the use of HDTV monitors, making affordable HDTV
applications a reality.
The compact HD4 Quad auto detects standard SDI and HD SDI signals,
allowing both formats to be used seamlessly together for easy and
cost effective migration to HD. The product has a host of outstanding
features, including embedded audio monitoring, signal loss detection,
and supports various HDTV 1080i and 720p formats. Common widescreen
display resolutions such as 1280x768, 1024x768 and 1400x1050 are
also included ensuring the Predator has the sharpest picture around!
Also on display is the revolutionary DX Series which, having blazed
the trail of the now familiar MultiViewer market, has well over
1000 units installed around the globe. The DX is the first to introduce
automatic input signal detection, whether analog or digital (SDI),
enabling users to support legacy equipment as they move to digital.
Positioned more favourably than ever to satisfy the dynamic and
changing broadcast, security and surveillance markets, Zandar remains
a visionary in global MultiViewer and monitoring system solutions.
With a worldwide user base the applications for Zandar’s expansive
product range are enormous and varied. Turner broadcast in USA uses
Zandar’s DX MultiViewers to monitor over 1000 channels, while
the FusionPro Series provides interactive displays for televised
game shows by both TV-8 in Singapore and Telecino in Spain and offers
high quality displays for the intensive aircraft training of the
US Air Forces’ fighter pilots amongst numerous unique applications
throughout the world.
