Following the iVAM 1-1 audio/video monitor, the first product in Wohler Technologies’ iVAM range, the company has now released the iVAM 2-2 and the iVAM 1-3 – in response to the popularity of the iVAM 1-1 and customer requests for a 2U-high option.
Promising a ‘new level of flexibility and futureproofing’, the 16-channel audio/video monitor unit offers its SFP -based expansion possibilities for a wide range of applications where physical space and budget are limited.
‘The iVAM 1-1 offers great flexibility in confidence monitoring and metering of 16-channels of audio, along with video, from a variety of sources from SDI to SMPTE 2110. Its compact size and ease of use makes it particularly suitable in OB truck applications,’ says Matthew Fletcher, Head of Sales at HHB Communications, Wohler’s UK distributor. ‘The new models build on this platform with an enhanced feature set making the iVAM range an attractive prospect for broadcast facilities to standardise on.
The two new models have been launched to bring loudness measurement and preset management in 2U-high and 1U-high units and, with the optional Output Routing licence, signals can be combined and routed for flexible monitoring on the internal speakers or routed to external equipment.
The iVAM 2-2 can monitor and meter up to 16 channels of 3G-SDI audio and video, plus two channels of analogue audio in a compact 2U format. With 64 presets, and using dual touchscreens, operators may toggle between video, meters, loudness measurement and menus. An HDMI output allows additional external monitoring of the currently selected video source, while analogue XLR, headphone and selected 3G-SDI output are also included as standard.
The iVAM 1-3 is a well featured, easy to use, competitively priced 16-channel video and audio monitor that includes loudness measurement and phase status, as well as offering 3G-SDI and analogue inputs as standard. This three-screen version enables simultaneous view of meters, loudness and video, for any application that requires a compact product for simple-to complex monitoring of an evolving range of professional signals.
The iVAM range, like the iAM, is flexible, adaptable, and future proof. Each product comes with multiple options including AES3, Madi64, Dante, Ravenna, SMPTE-2110 and SMPTE-2022-7. As technology expands and changes customers will be able ensure their iVAM products stay current with I/O SFPs, and expansion cards and software activation keys.
