The all-new Cobalt® BBG-1078-ANC-MON 3G/HD/SD-SDI Modular 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, the BBG-1078-ANC-MON shows status in “plain language” on-screen overlays. Unlike typical test equipment, its user interface is designed from the ground up to be used by everyday operations personnel and not just engineers. The status burn-in is available on the card SDI output as well as a convenience HDMI output that can be directly connected to a wall monitor.
