PANORAMAdtv, the video products division
of Wohler Technologies Inc., today introduced the first products
in its new RM series of high-definition (HD) monitor packs,
which offer an unmatched array of features at an extremely
competitive price point. Designed to enable affordable video
and audio confidence monitoring, the compact yet comprehensive
products in the RM series are ideal for use in mobile trucks,
news and transmission control rooms, and duplication and post-production
facilities.
"RM series monitoring systems allow broadcasters and
other media companies to implement cost-effective monitoring
systems without the tradeoffs typically required when purchasing
lower-cost products," said Carl J. Dempsey, Wohler president
and CEO. "While none of the features incorporated into
RM series products are new, it is unusual to find them available
at this price point. In this respect, nothing on the market
today quite compares with our new RM series, which brings
tremendous convenience to everyday monitoring operations."
Every new RM series HD monitor accepts formats up to 1080i60/30p
and offers key functionality that enhances monitoring processes.
Each SDI screen can display eight channels of VU over PPM
audio level meters, UMD, safe areas, frame marks, cropping,
switchable aspect ratios, as well as built-in color bars.
The RM HD units also provide an active loop-through output
for each SDI input. All settings are accessible from front-panel
controls and the system's intuitive on-screen menu. As a fully
inclusive solution, each model is designed for high-resolution
HD imaging with NTSC and PAL autosensing built into the units,
which accept two composite video inputs per screen on the
same BNC used for HD/SD-SDI.
The first seven models in the RM series include five HD monitoring
products: the 2RU RM-2443W-HD, with four 4.3-inch TFT/LCD
widescreen monitors; the 3RU RM-3270W-HD, with dual 7-inch
TFT/LCD widescreen monitors; the 3RU RM-3357W-HD, with three
5.7-inch TFT/LCD widescreen monitors; the 4RU RM-4290W-HD,
with dual 9-inch TFT/LCD widescreen monitors; and the very
compact 2RU RM-2435W-HD, with four 3.5-inch 4:3 TFT/LCD monitors.
The new RM series also includes two analog monitoring systems.
In just 2RU, the RM-2443W-2C supports two composite inputs
for each of four 4.3-inch widescreen monitors. The 3RU RM-3270W-A
serves as the analog version of the RM-3270W-HD and features
three composite inputs per screen.
In all of the RM series products announced today, the LCDs
are mounted in a versatile chassis that allows the operator
to rotate the display array ±55° in the vertical
plane to achieve an optimum viewing angle. Red/green/yellow
tally, as well as the in-screen UMD, can be interfaced to
most tally systems.
