A high-intensity LCD on the operational panel displays the audio level meter, PST, PGM and on-air video. Optional AES/EBU audio input and support for machine control of up to six VTRs is available.
The company also will introduce the portable HMS-30, which converts HDMI signals into HD (1.485Mb/s 1080i/720p; 59.94/50Hz) and SD (270Mb/s 525/625) signals. It can embed audio on an HDMI signal or two channels of analog audio into an SDI signal.
