Eyeheight At CABSAT 2009, Dubai

Three additions to the Eyeheight range of HD, SD and multi-definition systems will be introduced to Middle East broadcasters, programme-makers and post-production facility managers on the Tevido LLC stand (ZM-33) at CABSAT 2009, Dubai, March 3-5.
A globally-active innovator in broadcast-quality video and audio engineering, Eyeheight designs and manufactures a wide range of SDI/HD-SDI equipment for use in programme-origination, quality assurance, post-production, master-control and associated areas.
Eyeheight products centre on a modular platform with Ethernet control and monitoring for easy connection to other devices and to external automation.
Making its Middle-East market launch at CABSAT is the NB-9 nanoBox softPanel chassis. Optimised for desktop use in control-rooms, edit suites and graphic studios as well as on location, Eyeheight's NB-9 nanoBox softPanel chassis is a cost-efficient and compact free-standing housing, which will accommodate any of Eyeheight's range of signal-height cards.
These include legalisers, safe-area-generators and SDI-embedded audio shufflers. Control of nanoBox is via Eyeheight's softPanel software which can run in a Java 1.5 environment on any standard PC.
Also receiving its Middle East market launch - in fact, making its first-ever exhbition appearance - at the event is the company's UD-2 broadcast up/down converter. The UD-2 is a high quality up/down converter with three-field temporal processing and 3:2-pulldown frame-rate conversion.
Like all Eyeheight multidefinition products, the UD-2 is compatible with the 18 video standards currently in use across 525/625 SD as 720p, 1080p and 1080i HD. Advanced video noise reduction features allow overall noise and artifacts associated with DCT compression to be minimised.
Finally, the LE-2MD multidefinition legaliser will also be launched to the Middle East market at CABSAT. The LE-2MD is the smallest and most powerful legaliser in the Eyeheight range. It is compatible with all commonly-used signal standards from 525 and 625-line SD up to 720p and 1080i HD. Structured as two internal independent legalisers in series, the LE-2MD can be configured to operate in composite and RGB domains simultaneously, including conformity to the 75 per cent chroma settings commonly used in the USA, Japan and Australia.
Eyeheight will be represented at CABSAT 2009, by Gilbert Viegas, Sales Manager.
