The PANORAMAdtv HDMon Series of video monitors offer an extremely flexible and quality solution to the monitoring
of diverse analog and digital video, including HD-SDI, SD-SDI, DVI, composite, Y-Pb-Pr, S-Video, and RGBHV video
sources. All models may be used on a flat surface or installed into an industry standard EIA 19” wide rack with an optional
rackmount kit.
The HDMon Series is comprised of a number of models featuring different screen sizes. The TFT/LCD screens used are
of exceptionally high quality with up to 85 degrees of off-axis viewing without the image and color distortions normally
associated with LCD displays. These LCD displays offer superb motion plus advanced user adjustable scaling and motion
interpolation for standard definition images.
Problems such as inter-field “jaggies”, mosquito, smear and blending are minimized with our Motion Adaptive Algorithm.
In this process, motion of each Pixel is analyzed for any movement using a motion adaptive processes (3D) for changes
in horizontal, vertical, and diagonal directions. Even though the HDMon Series is primarily designed for 1080 line HD
applications, 525/625-line SD and 720-line HD images are easily displayed by enlargement of the image to fill the screen.
Our advanced I/P system incorporates user selected noise reduction to further analyze each pixel in the enlargement and
interpolation process producing superb images regardless of native resolution. Each signal format can be viewed in the
native resolution using our one-to-one pixel display prior to enlargement.
A wide range of parameters are available for on-screen or remote adjustment including channel isolate, overscan,
underscan, power saving auto off, automatic and manual color temperature, interpolation process (IP), auto source
search. auto setup, dual picture-in-picture (PIP) display, vector/waveform and signal analysis display, CRT color profile
match, and triple gamma select.
The integrated 100Base T Ethernet and RS232 connections provide full remote control via our included Windows
based GUI software application, or you may use our new line of modular designed and configurable audio monitors in
addition to on board controls. Control is even possible with remote systems from other manufacturers. By networking,
a large monitor wall can be easily accessed for control and setup functions. By using a master set-up file, the same
settings can be programmed on all similar models.
Inputs on the rear panel include from one to two HD/SD-SDI multi-rate inputs (with re-clocked outputs) on BNC
connectors, one composite ( CVBS) input on BNC connector, one S-Video input on 6-pin mini-DIN connector, one VGA
(PC-RGBHV) input on 15-pin D-sub connector, one Digital Video input on DVI-D connector, and one Y-Pr-Pb
component input on three BNC connectors. Other connectors on the rear panel include an RJ-45 connector for ethernet
connection (10 BASE-T/100 BASE-TX), 9-pin D-sub connector for serial connections to a PC Windows computer, 9-
pin D-sub connector for tally and remote control connections, external 24V DC power connector on 4-pin XLR, and
an internal AC power connector for attaching the supplied IEC-320 power cord.
