Avitech International Corporation To Showcase Multiviewer Range At IBC 2007

Avitech International Corporation is showcasing new additions to their extensive range of highly affordable, scalable, compact, and reliable Multiviewers at the upcoming IBC event in Amsterdam – Booth No. 11.651.
Avitech is launching the Rainier Series to the European broadcast market at IBC. The Rainier Series is an extremely cost-effective line of multi-image display processors that addresses entry-level broadcast and professional AV (ProAV) applications. Its small form factor also makes it ideal for space-deficient applications. Avitech will be demonstrating two Rainier Series models at IBC, which include: The Rainier model 2a2v allows you to display 4 inputs on a single display. It auto-detects 2 DVI / VGA inputs, PLUS auto-detects 2 composite video (PAL / NTSC) inputs. Also, the windows can be resized and re-positioned, and labeled, offering you a truly configurable visual display of your content.
The Rainier model 2v, allows you to display 2 auto-detect DVI / VGA inputs, with high resolution DVI and RGB output resolutions up to 1920 x 1200. With the exception of the number of inputs, the Rainier-2v offers all the same features as the Rainier-2a2v.
Avitech is launching two new models in their VCC-8000 series of Multiviewers; the VCC-8004U, and the VCC-8008U.
The VCC-8004U allows you to visually monitor a total of 4 inputs – 2 DVI/VGA/YPbPr inputs, and 2 HD/SD-SDI/ analogue composite video inputs.
The VCC-8008U processes a total of 8 inputs - 4 DVI/VGA/YPbPr inputs, and 4 HD/SD-SDI/analogue composite video inputs, and all at the same time on a single display using a single 1RU module. It gives you the flexibility to mix and match these formats in any combination, depending on the application at hand.
Each VCC-8000U module (including the new models) can easily be cascaded with any other VCC-8000 modules to display up to 120 images on a single display. This expansion is made possible by Avitech’s open and distributed architecture where each module operates independently to ensure 'no single point of failure'.
Plus, the VCC-8000 series can be combined with Avitech’s other products including the MCC-8004 series, and the ACC-8000 series, offering you an expansive facility-wide visual monitoring environment. This gives the ability to monitor inputs ranging from HD-SDI to component video or DVI/VGA as well as offering embedded analogue and AES/EBU audio through audio meters.
Avitech’s MCC-8004 product line are considered feature-rich and unique with an integrated on-screen display (OSD) that offers embedded analogue, and AES / EBU audio monitoring, multiple language support including 2-byte characters, tally functionality, alarm reporting, analogue & digital clock display, and a variety of text label options.
At IBC, Avitech will be launching the new MCC-8004Q fixed HD/SD quad-split multiviewer, which is an affordable, compact, and reliable quad-split multi-image display solution. Each module includes four auto-detecting HD-SDI or SD-SDI video inputs with eight channels of embedded audio per source, and offers high quality output resolutions up to 1920 x 1200.
Avitech multiviewers are increasingly being used to replace monitor racks and increase operational flexibility in a variety of broadcast, professional AV (ProAV), and security applications, including; law enforcement, surveillance, sports booking, radio broadcast automation, news room automation, a variety of video production applications, multi-channel monitoring, deep-sea monitoring, global sporting events, and much more.
