Waveform monitoring is about to undergo a revolution thanks to a new product that DK-Technologies will be launching at this year‘s NAB Convention in Las Vegas.

Targeted squarely at Outside Broadcast vehicles, production studios and Master Control Rooms, the DK PT0760 is effectively four HD/SD waveform monitors in one box. This lightweight and easy to operate unit is also ideal for Camera Control Units as it can monitor up to four cameras from one compact box. more

DK-Technologies will be using the NAB 2008 platform to show a colour analyser set that measures both CRT and LCD monitors.

The PM5639 CRT/LCD KIT, which will be on show at the company‘s booth (N1533), includes an LCD probe, a CRT probe and a display unit. The LCD probe has a stand to hold it steady in front of the monitor screen, while the CRT probe comes with a suction cup to secure it to the screen. The entire set is packaged in a handy flightcase, making it easy to transport and offering it protection when it is not in use.

DK-Technologies is targeting the PM5639 CRT/LCD KIT at broadcast and post production facilities, particularly those who are making the switch from CRT to LCD and need an easy to use product that can calibrate both types of monitor. more

There is no doubt that loudness is a hot topic for the broadcast and post production industries. As anyone who has ever reached for the TV volume control during a commercial break will know, today‘s sound processing can lead to remarkably high perceived sound levels without sound exceeding the maximum permitted signal peak levels. more
