Apantac LLC, a leading designer and developer
of high quality, cost effective image and signal processing
equipment, today announced that the TAHOMA line of Multiviewers
has been chosen to provide signal monitoring for the World
Games 2009 Kaohsiung Playout Center.
The Main Media Center (MMC) is a high-tech
digital facility that provides live transmission of the World
Games 2009. It serves as the central operational, technical,
production and administrative base for the World Games broadcast
operations. It provides a workspace for broadcasters to produce
television and radio coverage of the event.
The World Games provide the unique setting
for thousands of athletes from different sports and countries
to join in a celebration of unity and friendship across all
boundaries. It is made up of 32 International Sports Federations
governing all those sports and disciplines of sports which
are eligible for participation in the Official Sports Program.
The World Games will take place in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, July
16 – 26, 2009 and is the first international multi-sport
event to be held in Taiwan and is slated to be the largest
event in the history of Kaohsiung.
Public Television Services (PTS), the host
broadcaster for the World Games 2009, opted for Apantac’s
TAHOMA Multiviewers for the extensive signal monitoring of
incoming feeds from the different sports venues. TAHOMA LE-16
High Definition (HD) Multiviewers accept feeds from venue
cameras and present the multiple images on large displays
for the technical staff to monitor the events. Up to 16 feeds
can be displayed on a single display, providing an optimal
solution to simultaneously view multiple sources.
The TAHOMA series are a 3G family of Multiviewers
that auto-detects 4 to 32 video inputs (HD/SD-SDI/Composite),
supports DVI, HDMI and VGA outputs up to 2048x1080 (incl.
1080P), and includes built-in video and audio alarm detection.
The TAHOMA series incorporates a built-in CATx extender, which
allows digital 1080P signals to be extended up to 115 feet.
The unique combination of a Multiviewer and built-in CATx
extender in a single solution helps reduce overall equipment
costs and eliminates any equipment compatibility issues that
may arise.
Apantac’s skin technology lets users
personalize their on-screen display with any graphics tool.
Video windows on the display may include multiple labels,
and support UMD, OMD, IMD and standalone labels. Tahoma Multiviewers
include 16 channels of embedded audio per input with 4 channels
of discrete analog or digital audio as an option. Audio can
be associated with the video windows or work as standalone
audio meters.
The front panel of the Tahoma series also
offers a unique feature-set that includes a headphone jack
with volume adjustment for audio monitoring. And, front panel
buttons enable users to quickly recall presets.
