The DK-Technologies PT0740M is an audio-only version of the PT0760M waveform monitor. Aimed at engineers without the need for video measurement, this offers de-embedding from a single HD/SD SDi input and full StarFish surround-sound metering. It is complemented by the new PT0730M, which offers all the audio functions of its big brother but without the video input. These meters all benefit from the full range of PT0760 options, providing analogue and digital inputs and outputs, audio delay and Dolby decoding.
The PT0700R Client Panel is a remote unit PT0760M HD/SD Multichannel Video Waveform Monitor, aimed at broadcast engineers requiring to remotely access the facilities of the PT0760M or the entry-level PT0710M. With the Client Panel in place, an engineer in one location can see the same audio and video display as the engineer in the Master Control Room – and can access all the facilities of the PT0760M without interrupting its use at the master location.
The panel offers the same display as the PT0760M/PT0710M and provides a set of soft keys that replicate those on the main unit. Both the PT0760M and the PT0700R display can be independently controlled, allowing for identical or individual display of video and/or audio signals at both locations. A simple DVI interface between Host and Client is provided, and the unit follows a standard interface protocol, allowing any DVI/DCC interface to extend the distance between the remote and master units. It is also possible to remotely control the unit from a standard PC via the Ethernet port – an innovation that will be on show for the first time at the forthcoming IBC show.
All PT0700 Series waveform monitors can now be equipped with the company’s Loudness software, which is based on ITU algorithms and includes the 400Hz and 1kHz reference frequencies that are likely to be adopted by the broadcast and advertising authorities. DK has also introduced a new software upgrade that showsboth peak and loudness metering at the same time, as well as providing dual loudness measurement (for example integrated and instant), while displaying the loudness in a graphical form. The PT0700 series also provides comprehensive logging so that reports can be easily produced to accompany the finished product.
