APANTAC HYBRID IP + BASEBAND MULTIVIEWER

23 April 2015

Apantac has launched a new hybrid multiviewer that supports IP/ASI and SDI/CVBS on its award-winning Tahoma platform at the NAB Show, giving facilities the ability to mix and match up to 16 images on a single display.

IP/ASI support on the new Tahoma IL includes H.264, MPEG-2/4, and ASI, and video support includes 3G/HD/SD, as well as composite video formats. The multiviewer offers high resolution HDMI/DVI outputs and an optional SDI output, with output resolution up to 2048 x 1080P.

Built-in CATx extenders (with optional active receivers) for each output extend the output up to 35m. If longer distances are needed for the HDMI outputs, Apantac offers HDBaseT extenders for up to 100m, or fibre extenders for up to 457m.

Apantac’s ‘Skin Technology’ offers easy and advanced visual layout setup and on-screen display. The interactive and customisable on-screen display set-up via software includes borders, labels, GPI/O, tally, visual and audio alarms, AFD and WSS, alarm monitoring, close captioning, safe area markers, audio meters, analogue and digital clocks, as well as room for logos. Video windows on the display include multiple labels, and support UMD, OMD, IMD and standalone labels.

Control is supported by all existing Tahoma control accessories including the CP-16 control panel, SSP simple present control, and a preset recall keypad.
