Hamlet MonitorScope Benchtop Waveform Monitor

Measurement and monitoring of all HD, SD and composite signals. Embedded, AES audio external reference included. Uses patented "all digital" processing.
The MonitorScope MS9000 is compact, low power On Screen Display (OSD) device with a built in XVGA display 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, editing and graphics suites, remote sites and OB vehicles. Indeed anywhere serial digital signals or multi-format measurement is required. The MS9000 is a modular instrument so it is easy for the user to upgrade at any time. Optional module to show signals on a DVI/XVGA external monitor (1024 x 768 @ 60Hz digital or analog monitor, via a DVI-I socket).
The MS9000 unit is capable of HD SDI, SD SDI and composite video signals and audio in its embedded, or AES/EBU formats. For analysis, measurement and monitoring. There is a headphone socket on the front so the decoded audio can be monitored.
