Harris Videotek HD-STAR Handheld HD-SDI and SD-SDI Generator and Monitor
Harris' Videotek® HD-STAR portable, battery powered, handheld HD-SDI & SD-SDI video and embedded audio generator and video and audio monitor provides multi-format functionality and versatility that set it apart from other handheld test and measurement products on the market.
With a powerful array of features and functions that include a Video Test Signal Generator, Color Monitor, Waveform Monitor, Vectorscope, Serial Data Analyzer and an Audio Analyzer/Monitor, the lightweight HD-STAR is ideal for monitoring field production camera setup, equipment installation, or troubleshooting signal path issues related to high definition and standard definition digital formats.
This PDA-sized test monitor was designed to offer the convenience of portability without sacrificing function and performance. To enhance the user's experience, the HD-STAR features an integrated 320 x 240 color LCD display, utilizing touch-screen technology and the provided stylus to control and configure each operation. Maintaining power in the field won't be a problem - the HD-STAR runs on a Li-Ion battery pack.
The HD-STAR includes one looping video input for monitoring HD-SDI and SD-SDI signals formatted in SMPTE 292 M or SMPTE 259 M-C with embedded audio. The test signal generator has two outputs selectable as HD-SDI or SD-SDI. The stereo headphone output may be used to monitor embedded audio from the SDI source.
Standard accessories include a sunshield, stylus, rechargeable Li-Ion battery pack, AC power adapter, serial communications cable, and a belt-style pouch.
