MATCHBOX 4K SOLVES UHD LINEUP HEADACHES

LIP SYNC / AUDIO COHERENCE / AUDIO IDENT / VIDEO IDENT / QUAD-LINK ALIGNMENT

With the UHD live broadcast finding its feet, line up from OB through an unproven 4K quad-link path can be challenging. In a matter of seconds, MatchBox 4K will check whether video and audio are in sync, that audio channels are coherent are timed with each other (to a subsample precision), and quadrants are correctly timed with respect to each other.

Inter-quadrant timing errors can be a nightmare; a rogue synchroniser in the chain of one quadrant left with a delay setting from a previous project, or routing through mismatched paths can cause chaos. MatchBox 4K gives operators immediate confidence that timing is precisely controlled – measuring with pixel precision up to hundreds of frames giving confidence that quad-link channels are timed correctly together ensuring harmony with the next piece of equipment in the chain.

Knowing space is at a premium, be it in OB or fixed installation, Hitomi has squeezed Matchbox 4K into a compact 1RU chasis only 150 mm deep.  You can even pack a reader and generator into that space.  If that doesn't fit the bill two readers, two generators or just one of either can be factory fitted.

Features:

  • Lip Sync Timing Measurement
  • Compatible with Pro-Bel VALID8
  • Audio Coherence Measurement
  • Quad-link Timing Check
  • SDI / Reference Timing Measurement
  • Dual redundant fans & power
  • Web browser based control interface.
  • 4K/3G/HD/SD TPG
  • 4 Lines of Video Text Ident
  • Voice Synthesised Audio Idents
  • Picture edge markers
  • Precision Genlocking
  • 16 Channels Audio tones
  • Flexible Video IO through SFP fibre / copper / 2022-6
  • Mix & Match Readers/Generators in 1RU frame
