RadiantGrid Intelligent Media Transformation Platform

The Wohler RadiantGrid Intelligent Media Transformation Platform offers a highly efficient solution for transcoding, standards conversion, and audio processing in applications including loudness correction, quality control, and distribution of media. At the heart of the platform is RadiantGrids TrueGrid parallel-processing engine, which excels at providing faster-than-real-time content transformation, particularly for long-form content requiring multiple processes to be run concurrently. Intelligent automation of workflow processes coupled with close integration of best-of-breed plug-ins such as Cinnafilms Tachyon , Interras Baton , and Linear Acoustic AERO.file enables the versatile operation needed to manage everything from multiplatform transcoding and standards conversion to more complex processing such as mixed-cadence correction, video optimization, and audio loudness conformance.

iON Remote Broadcast Monitoring Platform

BroadcastAsia2013 marks the Asia-Pacific debut of iON, Wohlers next-generation monitoring solution. iON makes Wohlers world-class technologies for signal management and confidence monitoring available on a single software platform that users can access and control remotely from Web-enabled PC, Mac , smartphone, and tablet devices, with video and audio content streamed in real time. Recognized with a Broadcast Engineering Pick Hit Award at the 2013 NAB Show, iON is unique in enabling practical, flexible, and highly efficient monitoring of both baseband and file-based signals.

AMP1-MADIe Audio Monitor

The Wohler AMP1-MADIe is an in-rack portable MADI unit with Ethernet control and configuration. Ideal for sports production and other live broadcasts, it can be connected in series with a 56- or 64-channel MADI stream for individual volume adjustment and audible monitoring of any eight selected MADI channels at once. Designed specifically for customers requiring unique functionality equivalent to a MADI audio hot-mic mixer, Wohlers new AMP1-MADIe simplifies rapid selection and monitoring of MADI signals in fast-paced, live-to-air production environments. Two models will be on display, demonstrating support for either multimode or single-mode fiber connections in addition to standard copper on BNC.

AMP1-16M Dual 3G/HD/SD-SDI Audio Monitor

Wohlers new dual-input SDI audio monitor offers broadcasters high-performance monitoring of embedded audio in two 3G/HD or SD-SDI streams at an attractive price point. The 1-RU system de-embeds and provides metering and monitoring of any or all of the 16 audio channels in the selected 3G/HD or SD-SDI stream. It offers intuitive operation and clear display of levels and other critical information using bright 2.4-inch LED-backlit LCD displays, enabling one-touch monitoring and summing of any selected pair(s) to built-in speakers, headphones, or XLR balanced analog outputs. The monitor offers a number of convenient capabilities including remote access for setup and storage of user-defined presets via Ethernet and USB connections, gain adjustment/trim on individual audio channels with the ability to assign channels to either or both analog outputs (as well as select or deselect channel pairs), pass-through of both SDI inputs, and reclocked output of the selected monitored SDI stream.

DVM MPEG DVB-ASI and IPTV Monitors

At BroadcastAsia2013, Wohler will features its DVM family of video monitors, including the new DVM-5210, a 5-RU system with two 10-inch screens; the DVM-4290, a 4-RU system with two 9-inch screens; the DVM-3270, a 3-RU system with two 7-inch screens; and the DVM-2443 with four individual 4.3-inch screens and decoders. All of the DVM MPEG monitors provide convenient at-a-glance monitoring of program content from 3G/HD/SD-SDI inputs, as well as MPEG-2/4 DVB-ASI and Ethernet IP streams. The DVM broadcast-quality video monitors decode and display MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 signals via BNC or Ethernet inputs while giving users the ability to browse the PAT, PMT, and PID data for each selected stream. In addition to MPEG ASI and dual-input 3G/HD/SD-SDI with loop-through, the DVM monitors also accommodate HDMI video and audio with level meters, GPI, and tally.

HDM Series Full-HD Wide-Viewing-Angle Monitors

Offering a full feature set, the Wohler HDM-170 and HDM-215 are cost-effective, reliable 17-inch and 21.5-inch HD/SD-SDI video monitors that are perfect for viewing the many feeds in mobile trucks, news and transmission control rooms, duplication facilities, and postproduction houses. The units feature full HD-resolution displays with 178-degree viewing angles and dual split or picture-in-picture monitoring modes. Display features include in-screen labeling, tally, time code, format display, waveform, vectorscope, and safe area/title display markers. A host of audio tools includes level metering, headphone output, and built-in speaker monitoring of dual stereo analog inputs or SDI embedded audio.

Multi-Display Solutions

Wohler will showcase several multi-display solutions that simplify configuration and layout in space-constrained applications. The RMQ Series quad-split video monitors allow users to watch video and monitoring data in up to four display windows on a single 1920x1080 LED backlit screen. Available in 23-inch, 20-inch, and 17-inch screen sizes, RMQ Series monitors enable broadcasters to mix and match 3G/HD/SD-SDI, analog composite, and HDMI inputs in varying configurations tailored for different monitoring applications. Wohlers RMV16 multiviewer supports a cost-saving approach to monitoring while giving users the freedom to change their screen configurations on a dime. The unit accepts inputs including analog composite video, component, SD-SDI, HD-SDI, and even 3G, and it can provide outputs in VGA, DVI, an
