Compact-Duo HD Datasheet

Product Description

HD/SD SDI Audio Monitoring With integral HD/SD SDI De-embedder 4 de-embedded Stereo Groups, PPM, PHASE, Peak LED & Speaker drive, Free standing operation or rack mount in 2U “Touch Latch” selection between the 4 embedded Groups provides  Flyaway Kit, Edit Suites and CARs with comprehensive and cost effective monitoring facilities.  The generously sized "Type 29" meters allow practical audio level monitoring with extended separation between meter and monitor in larger Control Rooms.  Instant selection between Channel 1 & 2 or Channel 3 & 4 of the selected Group is performed by the front panel switch. When jacked, the (level-limited) Phones mute the ext Speaker’ drive to provide high quality private monitoring of stereo sources.    The "Traffic light" concept is a major feature of all Murraypro audio meters, with  PHASE and PEAK Levels policed on LEDs. Constantly monitoring the selected input Group, our ever alert GREEN Phase LED or Peak LEDs  will snap to RED immediately any trouble is detected, saving vital time and much expense later!     Our video processor provides a reclocked and fully equalised "active loop-through" of the input SDI video signal, available for downstream use and often eliminating the requirement for a separate HD-VDA feed to the 'Duo. Fully buffered, balanced 4 Channel audio outputs of the selected Group are available on the rear panel's XLR-3Ms. The front panel volume control output is fully buffered and balanced, and is available too on XLR-3M for external loudspeaker monitoring. A useful utility feed of base band demodulated Video is available on the rear panel, which can be internally configured for YUV, RGsB, Y+C or CVBS output mode. Busy Facility Houses are often switching between material recorded with Reference levels of  -18dBFS  (EBU) or -20dBFS (SMPTE), so the  2dB gain normalisation feature via an  illuminated switch  is a most welcome feature; allowing conventional PPM monitoring of AES & SMPTE Material, with reference levels instantly normalised to “PPM 4”, whilst the absolute programme level remains totally unchanged at all times, so no expensive disasters here! Compact-Duo is designed for use on desks and in space limited applications. Inputs and outputs may be operated either balanced or unbalanced, as required, and a nominal +/- 12dB of internal gain adjustment available on multi-turn trimmers to normalise the metered levels from different sources.
