Markertek News Channel coverage of the new Toch-It Digital 16 multi-channel video color monitor and AMP1/2 Series Audio Monitors from Wohler Technologies at NAB 2009, Las Vegas. The Touch-it Digital is a multi-channel video color monitor offering a simple and convenient way to monitor multi-channel SD-SDI video and provide route switching in a compact size. HD-SDI capability is optional. The unit is three rack spaces (3RU) in height and installs into an industry standard 19" wide rack. The unit features dual high resolution color 7" LCD display monitors. The left monitor may display from four to sixteen "thumbnail" images, and when one of these is touched, that image appears on the right monitor at full size and its HD/SD-SDI source signal is sent to an unbalanced output and to a VGA output for monitoring on an external display. The rear panel features sixteen HD/SD-SDI auto-sensing inputs and two re-clocked outputs of the selected HD/SD-SDI source. Other connections on the rear panel include a VGA output of the selected video source, eight General Purpose Interface (GPI) inputs and outputs, 10/100BaseT and RS232/422 connections for configuration and control, and connector for the external 24V DC power supply. The AMP1-16-3G monitors sixteen channels of audio from 3G/HD/SD-SDI and AES sources with loudness display using ITU-R1770-1 algorithms with audible monitoring through a fully digital high-fidelity amplifier system and speakers. Sixteen audio level meters are configured and displayed on two of three innovative LCD screens. A third screen is dedicated to displaying diverse data or video de-embedded from the selected 3G/HD/SD-SDI input. Signal source routing is totally flexible and features include two selectable 3G/HD/SD-SDI inputs with re-clocked output, eight AES inputs, eight pair AES outputs, eight analog outputs, 3G/HD/SD to HD/SD down-conversion, eight GPI inputs for remote control, and easy setup and programming using a graphical user interface.
