CD-1

Wohler has unveiled the AMP2-16V Series 16-channel audio/video monitor, a dual 4.3-inch OLED version of its AMP2-16 Series modular audio monitor. The AMP2-16V features dedicated video monitoring along with Free Mix and Dolby Zoom functions. Dolby Zoom switches between the standard overview of monitored channels and monitoring of the decoded channels of an available Dolby stream without entering any menus. The full trim, pan, and routing controls of the Free Mix feature reduce dependence on mixing consoles.

The right-hand screen remains "Audio Central" with simultaneous metering of up to 16 channels of audio from a choice of input and output cards. Also on display is variable-timescale loudness metering and selected metadata. The front-panel hotkeys can now be assigned to not only solo or mute groups of channels and recall system-wide presets, but also activate Dolby Zoom on a target source, or apply a saved Free Mix.

The Closed Caption Video Monitor Adaptor (CD-1) decodes and renders closed caption subtitles for any video monitor to display. This small externally-powered unit translates an HD/SD-SDI multirate input  containing closed captioning signaling into a burned-in HD/SD-SDI or DVI signal with open captions  dded to the picture.

The CD-1 detects and decodes WST, OP-47, and EIA-608/EIA-708 subtitles. Output options include two open-caption HD/SDI outputs, a DVI open-caption output, and an RS-232 output of closed caption contents. The new device can also de-embed any one of the eight pairs of audio from the SDI signal and output it as a line-level stereo analogue output.

Wohler has also introduced a new software GUI for its HDCC captioning card. The HDCC GUI features an overview screen, encoding/decoding settings, complete test functions, and GPI/O configuration.
