Video monitoring solution for 2 HD/SD-SDI feeds. The OR-701A is equipped with two HD/SD-SDI inputs with
an active switched loop thru as well as optional input slot which can be used for and additional Component, DVI-I
or other input formats. Diagnostic tools include our exclusive ClipGuide™ feature, 16 Tri-Color Audio Bar Graph
meters with peak hold and numeric display of headroom and peak levels, as well as real time analysis of color
space conversion Gamut Errors. Other standard features include factory calibrated screens, easy to navigate on
screen menus with 5 button control, 11 assignable function keys, 4 assignable rotary encoders, adjustable color
temperature, aspect ratio settings, a variety of screen markers, under scan mode, blue-only mode, monochrome
mode, H/V delay, 7 assignable GPI inputs…..
High Resolution 7” Widescreen Panel
The OR-701A features an all-digital TFT-MegaPixel active matrix LCD system. The LCD panel features a nomi
-
nal brightness of 350 cd/m
2
and a contrast ratio of 400:1 making the display ideal in a variety of environments
and lighting conditions.
Real-time Color Vectorscope
The built-in Vectorscope allows users to monitor color gamut range in real
time. It displays in full color and can also be displayed in various sizes,
positions, and transparency options. The Vectorscope has adjustable gain
from 1x to 5x.
Waveform monitor function
The built-in waveform monitor (which includes adjustable White and Black
clip level indicators) can be displayed in various aspect ratios, positions,
and transparency options. The Waveform Monitor not only monitors
luminance, but can also warn the user for out-of-range conditions such
as overexposure or “blacker-than-black” errors with fully user-adjustable
warning limits.
ClipGuide
™
The ClipGuide function operates with both the Waveform display and
Monochrome/Color picture display. Both the upper and lower ClipGuide
levels are user-adjustable in order to accurately display over-and-under ex
-
posures during different shooting conditions. For example, the upper Clip
-
Guide limit may be set to 85 IRE and the lower limit to 10 IRE. With these
settings, any exposures over the set limit of 85 IRE will display red on both
the Waveform and picture (if selected). The same will be true for blacks
under 10 IRE.
Chroma monitor function
Included in the ClipGuide menu are settings for monitoring color gamut errors, which can occur in color space
conversion. Any data exceeding these values will be displayed as Yellow in the picture. The factory preset for C
limits are 16 and 240 according to ITU-R BT.709. Typically, these values should not be exceeded during normal
video production.
