HCP-1801
HD/SD SDI Video and Embedded Audio Control Probe
The HCP-1801 HD/SD control probe integrates many advanced features for monitoring both video and embedded audio signals, including a new macro-block detection option. It offers complete real-time measurement and analysis of signal parameters, as well as flexible alarm thresholds and user-defined profiles. In addition, the probe functions as a distribution amplifier, with a single input and four HD or SD reclocked outputs.
