Sony PVM-X1800 HDR Monitor
The PVM-X1800 is an 18.4-inch 4K HDR high grade picture monitor, incorporating a Sony-specified premium LCD panel that offers 1000 cd/m2 luminance and colour matching with the BVM-HX310 4K HDR master monitor. This makes group monitoring easy for on-set, studio and OB van walls, and in 19” EIA racks for editing, audio mixing etc.
Sony’s acclaimed TRIMASTER architecture delivers accurate picture reproduction, precise imaging and quality picture consistency. There are many advantages in the panel control and signal processing system such as fast processing, accurate linearizing of an input signal with Optical Electrical Transfer Function, accurate colour reproduction, etc.
Dynamic Contrast Drive is a new backlight control system that dynamically changes the panel’s backlight luminance to adapt to changing content enabling you to confirm the total balance of highlights and low lights at a glance. The feature can be used to reproduce black representation in dark content, such as night scenes and provide specular highlights in bright content such as snow field and summer beach scenes. The Dynamic Contrast Drive feature provides a dynamic contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1.
Due to the inherent nature of LCD panels, some backlight leakage is unavoidable. To compensate, Black Detail Mode High/Mid/Low facilitates more accurate monitoring of black detail in dark, low- APL (average picture level) images. The backlight level is reduced but gamma is maintained for correct colour and grey scale. High luminance areas may be clipped due to the dynamic range of the monitor. Any clipped portions can be displayed as clipped or highlighted by a zebra pattern.

Ereca Stageracer 2
The Stage Racer 2 is a complete optical fiber transmission solution for every broadcast event ranging from simple OB interconnect to complex star, ring or linear topology spread over a whole TV compound. Remote production capacity also allows the exchange of content with distant locations.
The Stage Racer 2 is designed to accept all kinds of signals on the same device without external adapter.
Internally those signals can be grouped/routed/distributed to all other machines of the network.
Only 2 fibers connected directly on the unit are needed to get full transport capacity.
The Stage Racer 2 also offers processing capabilities with Frame buffering, Audio Embedding/Deembedding, Audio SRC and much more….
The Stage Racer 2 setup is provided with an easy to use web interface or with automation systems (VSM…)
Each unit is capable of transmitting a comprehensive set of signals as follows:
16 SD to 3G bidirectional ports (direction configurable)
8 SD to 12G bidirectional ports (direction configurable)
1 Distributed Genlock (Composite video / Black burst / Tri-level)
16 Bidirectional analog audio for intercom or programme
2 Ethernet 10/100/1000Mbs
2 Data RS 232/422/485
8 Contact closures
4 AES 3 bidirectional (intercom panel compatible)
1 Bidirectional MADI (AES10) Signal (Shared with 2 of the 4 AES connectors)
1 Built in Dante / AES67 audio port with 64 channels support.

Ereca Stage Racer
The Stage Racer product line is an ultra flexible solution to connect a stage to an OB VAN.
With the ERECA unique feature for on the fly direction configurable 3G-SDI channels and the numerous commodities signal transmitted along the videos, the stage racer is the product of choice for an affordable fast and easy event deployment.
All our Stage Racers are built in to bespoke 6U racks to utilise all signal functionality.
The equipment assumes transmission of a comprehensive set of signals as follows:
8 or 12 x video 3G / HD / SDI signals (direction configurable through built in web server),
1 x Genlock bidirectional (PAL image / Black burst / Tri-level),
16 x analog audio for intercom or broadcasting,
8 x Microphone pre-amp blocks
2 x Ethernet 10/100/1000Mbs (1 Gigabit trunk with 2 VLANS),
4 x Data RS 232/422/485,
8 x Contact closures.
4 x AES 3 bidirectional (Riedel panel compatible)
1 x bidirectional MADI (AES10) Signal (Shared with 2 of the 4 AES connectors).
For flexible setup the mechanical is declined in a 1U rack which fits everywhere and in a very rugged compact die cast aluminum box. This latter enclosure ensures excellent shock/drop protection along with dust and water resistant capacity for all “no fly case” applications. Links can be built between racks, rugged boxes or rack and rugged box.
All the signals are transmitted on 2 singlemode fibers. As an option, an optical cable failover is built inside the modules by adding a second connector. In case of fiber break the equipment automatically select the other cable.
