Providing functionality critical for facilities migrating toward IP-oriented distribution
networks, the award-winning MPEG Series monitors decode and provide convenient at-aglance monitoring of program content from MPEG-2/4 ASI and Ethernet IP streams, as
well as 3G/HD-SDI inputs. To meet broadcasters' increasing need for stream-based
monitoring, the MPEG video monitors identify, decode, and display in high resolution
both MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 signals (input via BNC or Ethernet) while giving users the
ability to browse the PAT, PMT, PID, EIT, and NIT data (both ATSC and DVB tables) for
each selected stream. In addition to MPEG ASI and dual-input 3G/HD-SDI with loopthrough, the MPEG monitors also accommodate audio with level meters, GPI, and tally.
Convenient monitoring capabilities include Dolby Digital and Digital+ decoding, as well as
the capacity to decode as many as 12 audio groups. In-picture level metering of up to 16

channels of audio is provided for both average and PPM (peak) levels with selectable
meter scales.
Wohler MPEG-4290 Video Monitor
AMP2-E16V Series Modular Audio/Video Processing Monitor
The AMP2-E16V monitor's feature list continues to be the longest in the industry, yet the
product is operated with one-touch simplicity. In addition to its top-quality audio system,
it features simultaneous multiformat monitoring, quick program selection, instant stereo
downmix, loudness monitoring, internal channel mixing including SDI re-embedding, and
audio delays. The monitor also includes a wide variety of meter scales and ways to view
meters, video, and Dolby or SMPTE 2020 metadata.
The AMP2-E16V offers Dolby Zoom, Dolby E line position, and CRC error monitoring, as
well as automatic system configuration based upon signal inputs, 32 system
configuration presets, an internal help system, and software updates via Ethernet. Audio
processor card options facilitate easy configuration for multiple SDI, AES I/O, analog I/O,
and connections to external surround systems.
A new AVB Monitoring Option card allows AVB channels to be mixed, level-adjusted, and
monitored alongside AES, SDI, analog, and other input types, and in the same fashion.
Further enhancements include new processing modules and newly developed software
that expand the feature set and capabilities to include loudness monitoring and extended
audio interfacing.

AMP1-16M Dual 3G/HD/SD-SDI Audio Monitor
Wohler's new AMP1-16M dual-input SDI audio monitor provides high-performance
monitoring of embedded audio in two 3G/HD/SD-SDI streams at an attractive price
point. The 1-RU system de-embeds and provides metering and monitoring of any or all
of the 16 audio channels in the selected 3G/HD/SD-SDI stream. It assures intuitive
operation and clear display of levels and other critical information using bright 2.4-inch
LED-backlit LCD displays, enabling one-touch monitoring and summing of any selected
channel pair(s) to built-in speakers, headphones, or XLR-balanced analog outputs.
The AMP1-16M monitor features a number of convenient capabilities, including remote
access for setup and storage of user-defined presets via Ethernet and USB connections,
along with gain adjustment/trim of individual audio channels with the ability to assign
channels as left, right, or center (both) to the internal audio system and the analog
outputs. It offers both pass-through of each SDI input and a reclocked output of the
selected monitored SDI stream.
AMP1-S8MDA Multiformat Audio Monitor
The AMP1-S8MDA is a complete yet compact multichannel audio monitoring solution
capable of monitoring audio from 3G/HD-SDI/SD-SDI, AES/EBU, and analog signal
sources. The 1-RU system processes and monitors up to eight channels from an HD-SDI
or SD-SDI bit stream, two sets of four AES/EBU signal pairs (balanced and unbalanced),
or eight balanced analog channels. Eight high-resolution 26-segment tricolor LED bargraph audio-level meters show simultaneous volume unit and peak program meter
readings for superior level-metering. A convenient high-contrast LCD display on the front
panel shows the user settings and status, type of signal, channel selection, mute status,
and phase/polarity relationships.
The monitor's unique design provides optimally focused sound for operators in an ultranear-field (1 to 3 feet) working environment and offers performance comparable to that
of many separate monitor pairs without the installation hassles, awkward speaker
placements, and "added-on" look. This design provides for a higher sound pressure level
for the operator while reducing overall ambient sound and crosstalk from adjacent bays.
Extended high-frequency response reveals potential problems with audio whine or hiss,
