TSL Products has added the MPA1 Solo SDI audio monitor to its MPA (Monitor Plus Audio) range – an intuitive, flexible audio monitoring tool for viewing all 16 embedded audio channels simultaneously, while allowing any channel to be selected for monitoring.
At 1U-high and 100mm deep, the MPA1 Solo SDI is designed to suit confined environments such as outside broadcast vehicles and small flight-packs. The MPA Solo SDI source, channel names and system parameters can be managed remotely over an Ethernet network using the built-in web server. Audio levels, signal status and format can all be viewed remotely via the web GUI (graphics user interface).
‘The prevalence of multichannel and multi-lingual services among TSL’s customers has led us to develop a product that provides at-a-glance monitoring of all embedded audio, thereby helping our customers maintain consistent production quality,’ says TSL Products Audio Product Manager, Stephen Brownsill. ‘Furthermore, the most efficient workflow for any production environment can be secured using the web GUI to ‘lock-down’ any MPA Solo SDI, preventing unintentional or unwanted changes to its configuration.
The HDMI output provides convenient confidence monitoring of the SDI video source making it suitable for checking lip sync.
‘We’re in the process of installing several of the new MP1A Solo SDI units in one of our new OB trucks,’ says NEP UK Head of Audio, Paul Fournier (part of one the largest providers of live event solutions in the world). ‘We particularly like the scroll-to-hear feature to quickly monitor any of the visible 16 channels, and the ability to see a video source to quickly identify you are monitoring the correct source will be a great help. The internal PSU also makes for a neater build, which is always important when space is at a premium.’
