Hamlet DigiScope Rackmount Waveform Monitor

Provides measurement and monitoring of all HD, SD and Composite signals. Embedded, AES audio External reference included. Uses Patented "all digital" processing.
The DigiScope DS9000 is a 1U rack mountable, low power device with DVI and XVGA outputs for use on external displays which is an ideal alternative to, and/or replacement for broadcast measuring devices in production or engineering environments. Especially where repetitive monitoring or measurements need to be made. Areas such as, master control, pre or post production, remote sites and OB vehicles. Indeed anywhere serial digital signals or multi-format measurement is required. The DS9000 is a modular instrument so it is easy for the user to upgrade at any time.
The DS9000 unit is capable of HD SDI, SD SDI and composite video signals and audio in its embedded, or AES/EBU formats. The unit also offers a headphone socket on the front so the decoded audio can be monitored.

This product contains proprietary patented designs.
