Vela Research is proud to introduce the
latest addition to the ArgoNavis Product
line - the Quad SDI & VANC Monitor.
The Quad SDI & VANC Monitor is a
1.5RU compact rack mount unit that
allows operators to monitor vital aspects
of up to four independent SDI signals in
real time providing critical information
on video, audio, and ancillary data nec-
essary to ensure regulatory compliance
and data integrity.
MONITOR 4 SDI CHANNELS SIMILTANEOUSLY
MONITOR 8 CHANNELS OF EMBEDDED AUDIO
SET HIGH/LOW ALARMS FOR AUDIO LEVELS
MONITOR 608 AND 708 CLOSED CAPTIONING
MONITOR ACTIVE FORMAT DESCRIPTOR
The Quad SDI & VANC monitor allows
the operator to monitor the SDI video in
real time with a ‘snapshot’ feature to
capture the current video image as a bitmap for reference or distribution.
MONITOR DOLBY AUDIO METADATA
MONITOR BROADCAST FLAG DATA
Up to 8 channels of SDI Audio can be monitored in real time and High/Low level setpoints
can be created to alert the operator should any audio level exceed an upper or lower thresh-
hold for a user defined period of time. Channels can be selected individually for monitoring
or all channels can be monitored simultaneously.
Decode and Monitor 608 and 708 Closed Captions from the VANC in real time and view both
types of captions simultaneously while not obstructing the video with open captions. Users
can decode and view Active Format Descriptor data in real time and get a pictorial represen-
tation of what effect the AFD value will have on the video signal. Determine the presence and
frequency of Broadcast Flag VANC data and also whether Dolby Audio Metadata exists in the
VANC.
