The all-new Cobalt® 9978-ANC-MON 3G/HD/SD-SDI Ancillary Data Monitoring Probe with Multiple-Protocol Data Payload SDI/HDMI Display and Fault Detection/Forwarding provides an easy to use, economical solution that offers comprehensive ancillary data monitoring/”probing” to validate and ensure expected presence and handling of ancillary data in SDI streams.
Unlike expensive and hard to use waveform monitors or typical test systems, the 9978-ANC-MON is an economical openGear®-based solution that monitors and shows status in “plain language” on-screen overlays. The 9978-ANC-MON user interface is designed from the ground up to be used by everyday operations personnel and not just engineers. The status burn-in overlay is available on the card SDI output as well as a convenience HDMI output that can be directly connected to a wall monitor. In addition to its user interface, the 9978-ANC-MON can integrate with automation systems via its serial, GPIO, IP and SNMP interfaces.
