Brick House Video’s Neptune tops list for IBC showcase

Brick House Video’s award winning and expanded suite of products is to be exhibited on Stand 11.118 at IBC 2004.
Neptune, Brick House Video’s Dual SDI Frame Synchroniser, will make its European debut at the top of the list of offerings. Winner of TV Technology’s coveted STAR award at NAB 2004, Neptune was developed for use in a wide range of studio, edit suite, OB and transmission environments. The unit comprises two fully independent SDI framestore synchronisers in a 1RU chassis. It was designed with standard 10 bit SDI inputs and a range of analogue and digital input options for flexible signal acquisition. Multiple SDI and composite analogue (monitoring) outputs are included as standard.
Neptune can be configured as two fully independent channels or as an intelligent switch that selects the 'best' input based on criteria determined by the operator. In dual (redundant) path applications, the dual frame architecture allows a disturbance-free transition from a failing signal to a good signal.
Comprehensive local controls for signal levels and timing adjustments are integrated as well as an industry standard control interface for remote and automation applications. Internal test signal and source ident insertion facilities are included as well. Neptune can operate as a stand-alone unit or be genlocked to station reference.
Embedded audio synchronisers and level adjustments are available as an option in addition to the standard 'transparent' audio processing features.
