IQSAM00
3G/HD/SD-SDI Signal Assurance Module
The IQSAM00 provides a fast and efficient way to monitor video and audio confidence and timing at various points within an SDI system. In broadcast systems, maintaining the association and timing between video and audio signals to avoid an objectionable viewer experience has always involved a lot of time-consuming setup, testing and monitoring by broadcast engineers and staff, but now IQSAM00 can provide the monitoring confidence that everything is correct and remains correct during live operation. It does this by generating and comparing video and audio signatures from the SDI stream and reporting back the delay value and an accuracy confidence, all without the need for potentially intrusive...
FEATURES
- Compares two signals for video and audio identity confidence and timing differences with accuracy to 1 ms
- Has the flexibility to operate as a local signal probe comparing two SDI inputs, or compare local SDI with remote signature information received via IP link using the Media Biometrics technology
- Handles and can check the channel mapping of up to 16 channels of embedded audio present on the incoming SDI stream
- Either input can be routed to either output for signal chain transparency
- Measures both absolute video and audio delays and is robust to format conversion, ARC changes and IP compression
- Generates Media Biometric signatures from each input for analysis by other Media Biometrics enabled units
- Standards supported:
- 3G-SDI to SMPTE ST 424/425 level A compatible
- HD-SDI to SMPTE ST 292/274/296
- SD-SDI to SMPTE ST 259-C
- Fiber to SMPTE ST 297-2006
- SFP cage enables I/O over fiber or additional SDI via HD-BNC
- 16x user memories, save/recall/rename
- RollTrack delay values created to enable delay correction by other RollTrack enabled units
- RollCall control and monitoring compatible with standard logging and reporting features
