Sometimes monitors can't be trusted, but with vectorscope you'll always know the exact colors you're working with. When you need to apply a tint, vectorscope lets you see exactly how much tint you're adding and what color it is. If you're color correcting video, vectorscope shows when color has been adjusted for accurate white balance. The synthesized composite waveform makes it easier for editors who are familiar with composite waveform monitors.Ī vectorscope allows users to accurately measure colors in a video signal. Composite video is synthesized from the SDI input displayed for a better view for aligning decks and other video equipment. SmartScope Duo features a composite setting to show both luminance and chroma.
Waveform view features a luminance display of the black and white levels in your video signal. Waveform display aids in adjusting video levels or matching black background levels when keying. If you're installing the unit into the extreme top or bottom of an equipment rack then simply flip SmartScope Duo upside down and the monitors will reverse automatically for the appropriate viewing angle. You can display two totally different sources at the same time, even with different video standards. SmartScope Duo's two 8" LCD displays are independent, which means each screen has its own SDI connections.
The included SmartView Utility for Mac and Windows allows you to daisy chain multiple units together on an Ethernet network and control them all from one location. This is especially helpful when mounting at in the very top or bottom of an equipment rack. The unit is also reversible, which means you can install it upside-down and the picture will flip right-side-up automatically. Each monitor is independent so users can display any combination of scope or picture view. In addition to monitoring picture, the key features include waveform, vectorscope, RGB parade, YUV parade, histogram and audio phase levels.
Oh yea, fibre cleaning and splicing gear, and the training, also an optical TDR so you can find the damage.SmartScope Duo from Blackmagic Design is a 3RU rack mount unit with two independent LCD displays. You can shut down a vendor claiming it is the other guys gear very quickly by saying "My Tek Prism says you are non compliant with the narrow profile" or whatever, and this usually gets the attention of the vendors engineering department. There should probably be a Tek Prism somewhere on the network, they are not my favourite thing (Feel sort of unfinished to me, especially given the price), but nobody questions them and that has value when talking to a vendors tech support. Lots of control vendors trying to shoe horn IP control into control systems designed for a central router, it can sort of work but not usually very well in a dynamic situation. Think thru carefully how you are handling control, 2110 has a very different control model to SDI and you will want to think carefully about how whatever you go for will play in a dynamic environment. While they are a bit of a pain in the arse in some ways, keeping a handful of embyonix encap and decap MSA SFPS around can get you out of trouble in a pinch, throw into a switch and you can get SDI in or out.Ī pc with a sufficiently serious network interface to be able to wireshark at speed is a good thing, or failing that a 1G port on a switch with IGMP snooping/PAM set up correctly so that you can at least see the PTP, Audio and Anc streams. Large and small! For example, Phabrix has a brand new benchtop QxL they exhibited at NAB that I'm going to add to our workbench, on top of the ones we have in the base system. This will by a dynamic environment, all kinds of stuff will get thrown at us that needs to be addressed quickly. Conversion, troubleshooting, playback, viewing, etc. I'm curious what people who have ST2110 experience are finding as valuable tools. Basically all the stuff that isn't permanently installed in a rack) I need to purchase, I keep finding myself saying saying about my favorite tools "Oh, no, that's an SDI tool, that's not applicable here." For example, my backpack would typically contain a Decimator MD-CROSS small, cheap, solves a bunch of problems. We will be 99% ST2110 for internal operations, the largest point of baseband conversion will be in the broadcast handoff room for connecting to OB trucks.Īs I sit down to list out all the loose equipment (cables, handtools, tools, etc. I'm in the process of kitting out a very large new sports/performance/concert venue.
