Argosy, a leading
international supplier of HD broadcast, cables and studio infrastructure
products, will be demonstrating its recently introduced Sonarae audio
monitoring system for the first time at IBC (Stand no. 10 D55). Sonarae is
the latest entry in Graham-Patten Systems line of digital audio products for
the professional video industry and is designed specifically to meet the
need of Non Linear Editing (NLE) operators who critically monitor the audio
associated with a video edit session as a part of the NLE process.
Sonarae offers an input mode selector for up to eight AES/EBU data streams
or 16 individual audio channels which allows the user to switch from the
main AES/EBU inputs to STEM recorder preview inputs or to an external tone
generator. A set-up, learn, and clear function, along with 5.1, 6.1, and
7.1 Surround Sound stereo mix-down selectors, allows the operator to store
custom stereo mix-down formats that are available for recall at any time.
"We have seen very significant worldwide interest in Sonarae since its
launch at NAB 2008. A number of prospects are currently evaluating the
system, so IBC will be an exciting time to discuss firm orders," said Mike
Purnell, director at Argosy. "Sonarae is a unique system as it allows audio
engineers to monitor the audio, without distortion and without changing the
audio in the process - all within an NLE environment."
Options for monitoring include a master speaker level with two dim settings
and a mute switch, and a headphone amplifier with separate level control.
The system provides outputs of pre- and post-level AES/EBU audio in addition
to optional pre- and post-level analogue audio. Operator-selectable delay,
adjustable from zero to 9.5 video frames in 0.5 frame steps, is built into
the unit to allow for compensation of picture monitor latency.
The Sonarae system will showcase alongside the latest additions to the
company's portfolio including MDUs; audio jack fields; high density
high-definition video patch panel; changeover switchers and an array of
video accessories. Furthermore Argosy will display the company's leading
range of IMAGE HD video cables, recognised worldwide for their high
performance in broadcast, transmission and production houses facilities.
