As part of its 25th anniversary celebrations, Hamlet will launch four new LCD monitors designed for critical viewing applications. The family is headed with a 24 grade one monitor for the most demanding applications, and is completed with 24 and 17 grade two displays, including multi-viewer capabilities.
The grade one monitor is specifically designed to meet EBU Tech 3320 Grade 1 standards and uses an active LED backlight to provide uncompromised consistency across the whole of the display, allied with painstaking selection of LCD panels to achieve the highest image quality and broadcast standard colourimetry across the whole of its 1920 x 1080 screen. Inputs auto-sense the signal presented, covering standard definition, HD and 3Gb/s 1080p HD. There are two SDI inputs, together with HDMI and DVI-I ports, with inputs selectable locally or via a control network.
The user can elect to focus on the image to be evaluated, or add tally, UMD information, audio metering and cages, all generated internally. The monitor is likely to find enthusiastic users in editing suites as well as engineering control rooms for critical picture evaluation.
The grade two displays also use carefully selected LCD panels, this time illuminated by a cold cathode source. Again extensive image adjustment controls and multiple inputs are provided. The 24 monitor is available with or without an integral four-source multi-viewer for quad split displays, and there is also a 17 monitor, again with grade two performance and quad multi-viewer capabilities
It is great to be able to add these really exceptional graded monitors to our product line, said Steve Nunney, director of Hamlet. They are a natural fit with our test and measurement products, recognising that when you evaluate a picture sometimes you need a precise value, sometimes you need to apply the finest calibrated eyeballs. Both the grade one and grade two models produce fantastic images, and I am really looking forward to introducing them to our critical customers.
See the new LCD graded monitors and the rest of the Hamlet range on booth C4841 at NAB.
