QS100HD Quad™ Card
Multiformat HD Quad Card For Sony® LMD/LUMA Displays
The QS100HD Quad™ card is a unique, first-to-market monitoring solution designed for integration with the Sony® LMD/LUMA display range. It offers outstanding performance and image quality for HDTV monitoring environments — ideal for outside broadcast/mobile production, master control room and production studio quality monitoring.
Configurable as a quad-split or in any four-window arrangement, the QS100HD Quad card will drive high-resolution Sony® LMD/LUMA displays, allowing the display of up to four auto-sensing analog, SDI and HD-SDI inputs. It is a fully integrated monitoring solution that fits into the expansion slot of the LMD/LUMA display range. 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 on-screen 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-detects up to four analog, SDI (525, 625) or HD (720p, 1080i) 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
- Lowest minimum frame delays (< 1 frame) — critical in production environments
- Full-screen, quad-split and any four-window display configuration
- Native HD and SD input processing to ensure excellence 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 resizeable
- 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
- Configurable tally lamps with up to four tally lamps per video window
- User-configurable preset layouts
- Embedded audio ballistic meters
Product Details
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 multiimage 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.
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.
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.
