DESCRIPTION
The HCP-1801 is a probe for the quality control of HD SDI
(SMPTE 292 M) and SD SDI (SMPTE 259M-C) digital video
signals. The HCP-1801 probe integrates several advanced
features for monitoring both video and embedded audio
signals. It offers complete real-time measurement and
analysis of all relevant signal parameters as well as flexible
alarm thresholds and user-defined profiles. In addition, the
HCP-1801 probe functions as a distribution amplifier, with
its HD/SD SDI input and four reclocked outputs. Used in
conjunction with Miranda's iControl family of products, the
HCP-1801 allows users to see the signals they are
monitoring. The probe generates real-time video thumbnails
and audio level meters for transmission over IP networks.
As part of the Miranda Densité series, the probe can be
used along with a wide variety of interface and distribution
amplifiers, and allows users to benefit from extensive
flexibility and ease of use so unique to Miranda's Densité
platform.
