QS100HD

Multiformat HD Quad Card for Sony® LMD/LUMA Displays

The Harris® QS100HD Quad card is a unique, first-to-market monitoring solution designed for integration with the Sony® LMD/LUMA display range. This multiviewer offers outstanding performance and image quality for HDTV monitoring environments and is ideal for outside broadcast/mobile production, master control room and production studio quality monitoring.

The QS100HD Quad card fits into the expansion slot of the Sony® LMD/LUMA display range. Configurable as a quad-split or in any four-window arrangement, this fully integrated monitoring solution drives the high-resolution LMD/LUMA displays, allowing up to four auto-sensing analog, SDI and HD-SDI inputs to be shown. With an extensive standard feature set, the QS100HD Quad cards have numerous control options including the intuitive Z-Configurator™ layout editing software, which enables easy setup and operation, support for embedded audio and onscreen alarm display for video and audio. The high-performance QS100HD Quad card also features an HD-SDI output for distribution of the multi-image display output, or for cascading units.

Features

As a full-featured multiviewer within the Sony display, the QS100HD saves space, reduces cabling requirements and provides excellent image quality, making it an ideal solution for mobile production vehicles, as well as desk top studio applications.

  • Auto-detection up to four analog, HD (720p, 1080i) or SDI (525, 625) inputs
  • DVI-D output up to 1920x1080/1200* simultaneous DVI and HD/SDI output * 1920x1200 resolution results in additional frame delay and rate conversion on LMD/LUMA series

  • Full-screen, quad-split and any four-window display configuration
  • Native HD and SD input processing to ensure excellent in picture quality
  • 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratio management with aspect ratio markers
  • NTP timecode support and digital clock display
  • Instant display reconfigurability — all four inputs are scalable and resizable
  • Full-screen selection from LMD/LUMA front panel
  • Dynamic and static UMD protocol; supports numerous options for flexible operator control; Z-Configurator software, LMD/LUMA front panel, GPI and LAN

Excellence in Image Quality and Display 
The QS100HD Quad card auto-senses up to four 10-bit digital HD/SDI signals or analog signals. The module can route any of the four sources internally to the display, with no multi-image processing for full-screen display. Alternatively, users can select a DVI input for multi-image display processing. The result is an outstanding high-resolution quad display with minimal input-to-output frame delay. A simultaneous HD-SDI output is available as standard to distribute the four-channel (quad) output to additional displays and routers within the production system.

Superior Control/Ease Of Use
The QS100HD Quad card module features the powerful Z-Configurator layout editing software to make system setup and operation effortless. The creation of layouts is simplified with the option to edit pre-loaded basic templates or use the drag-and-drop functionality to quickly create and save new layout styles. The intuitive GUI allows the operator to easily configure, resize and position any source in the layout in order to set up tally/UMD parameters, alarm thresholds and audio ballistics. LAN and GPI control are standard interfaces. Users can choose between any of the four inputs viewed full screen, with no processing of the multi-image display directly from the LMD/LUMA front panel.

Reliable Performance
The superior processing technology of the QS100HD Quad card results in performance that is second to none. The integrated module boasts minimum frame delays (<1 frame) from source to output, making it a reliable choice in critical production environments.
