CVM-306
Compact Multiformat Signal Analyzer
The Videotek® CVM-306 multiformat signal analyzer boasts integrated video and audio signal monitoring in an affordable, compact package. With a robust feature set and space-saving design, the CVM-306 allows even the most modest installation to benefit from high-end monitoring and a professional look.
Three versions of the CVM-306 are available: SD, HD/SD and 3G/HD/SD. Both the SD and HD/SD versions are upgradeable to 3 Gb/s. All three units possess two SDI inputs, and selectable waveform, vector, gamut, timing and full-screen picture display. You can meter all 16 channels of embedded audio or the one AES input, with integrated speakers that can monitor any two selected channels. You can also customize the integrated LCD display with independent sizing and positioning of waveform, vector and picture, or select from the following quad displays:
- Waveform or timing
- Vector or gamut
- Audio, alarm pane or alarm status
- Picture
The 3RU CVM-306 chassis is less than seven inches deep and integrates easily with today’s consoles. An 11-17 VDC power input comes standard, and low power consumption allows the use of convection cooling for silent operation.
