Hamlet Unveils New 1U Rack Monitor

Acknowledging that many broadcast installations need high quality test and measurement in the machine room but are reluctant to give up valuable rack space to large monitors, Hamlet has developed the simple, elegant, perfect solution. The new DigiScope DS900G in a multi-format measurement device with integral monitoring – the twist is that the electronics take up just 1U of rack space with a high-resolution monitor on a gooseneck for easy positioning.
The electronics take up half the width of the 1U cabinet, with the 7” in-plane switching display mounted on the other half of the panel. But because it is on a gooseneck it can be turned to any angle. The device could be mounted at the top of the rack, for example, with the screen tilted down for ease of viewing. Not only does the DS900G take up a fraction of the rack space, it allows systems engineers to position it around existing equipment rather than worrying about ensuring it is visible.
The low-power DigiScope DS900G accepts up to six Hamlet 900 series modules. These are built on a bespoke digital platform developed by Hamlet to ensure consistent, high-precision signal test and measurement through the lifecycle of the product. Modules, which can be freely mixed in a single chassis, include analogue and digital input, SD, HD and 3G with looping SDI connections, and up to 16 channels of AES audio. Some modules include the ability to generate precision test signals. Measurements include all common video and audio tests, including the eye pattern display to visually determine the robustness of a digital signal.
With the built-in multi-viewer, users can tile the four inputs, then within each input look at the required displays. As well as the 7” display, which is part of the DigiScope DS900G, the output can also be fed to any DVI or XVGA screen. Set-up is by touchscreen displays on the chassis.
“I was a broadcast engineer, and now I spend a lot of my time talking to broadcast engineers,” said Steve Nunney, director of Hamlet. “I know that sometimes the challenge for good test and measurement is finding the space where you need it. The new DigiScope DS900G takes our proven and hugely popular test and measurement platform and puts it into another form factor that will solve a problem for many engineers.”
The DigiScope DS900G will be regionally launched at Broadcast Asia. Visitors can see it, and the rest of the Hamlet range, at the Gencom stand.
