Videotek® VTM4150PKG

Multiformat, Modular Rasterizer Monitor

Videotek^® VTM4150 packages are predefined module groupings designed to quickly deliver the onscreen monitoring solution you need. Select among 3 Gb/s, HD/SD-SDI, SD-SDI, analog composite and ASI video monitoring, advanced physical layer jitter analysis, Dolby^®, advanced audio and lip sync monitoring options to build a system customized to your requirements.

The perfect solution for today’s multiformat environments, the VTM4150PKG features the first user-configurable, field-upgradeable, multiformat test and measurement console. The innovative modular platform makes the VTM series fully customizable and affords broadcasters unprecedented flexibility.

When fully equipped, the VTM Series is the only test instrument of its kind that monitors and displays as many as four inputs simultaneously. The Imagine Communications proprietary graphic display engines enable multiple input configurations to accommodate any environment. 3 Gb/s, HD/SD, DVB-ASI/SMPTE 310M and composite analog inputs options are available. Users can mix and match the appropriate options, such as eye pattern with jitter display and audio packages featuring Dolby decoding, to create the ideal tool for their specific application. A further benefit is a clear upgrade path when monitoring requirements change.

Detail

The VTM Series is loaded with features designed to enhance the user experience, including illuminated controls, simple navigation and a compact 1RU console. Favorite display configurations are instantly recalled using assignable one-touch presets. Whether customized with specially selected options or preconfigured by Imagine Communications experts, the VTM4150 is the ideal choice for any facility. The console is easily configured via direct access to display functions, selectable screen location and context-sensitive pop-up menus. The intuitive navigation system enables easy access to all functions for even the most inexperienced users.

All VTM4150PKG base models feature the patented Q-SEE™ technology, which enables users to configure a common XGA monitor for any specific need. Whether the desire is for full screen, quadrant with picture thumbnail or the convenient MULTI mode, Q-SEE can make it happen. Choose from waveform, vector, gamut, audio, picture and timing displays, and place each in any quadrant on the screen.

Q-SEE is just one more way the VTM Series proves itself as the most versatile instrument in its class. When equipped with the proper input options, the VTM Series can output four different waveforms to the Q-SEE display, from four distinct signals — in essence, handling a job that used to require four separate monitoring systems.

VTM4150PKG options include dual 3G/HD/SD-SDI eye pattern with jitter display, dual 3G/HD/SD-SDI, dual HD/SD-SDI, dual ASI and dual analog composite inputs, advanced audio analysis with CineSound® Surround display and comprehensive Dolby decoding. The SD-SDI and SD-SDI eye pattern inputs can be field-upgraded to HD/SD with the purchase of an unlock key.
