Excellent image quality
Irrespective of the input combination, iStudio always guarantees perfectly displayed, flicker-free and steady images. The images are displayed on a high-contrast screen for wide viewing angles
Be more flexible!
The layout of the display wall can easily be adapted from any authorized PC that is linked to the LAN. All the layouts are created, saved, retrieved, and adapted by means of a Java application running in a standard Web-browser.
You configure and re-configure your display wall according to your requirements, without moving a monitor. Select from the list of available sources, add a clock, tally indicators, and source identifiers, drag and drop, enlarge and reduce the windows until the layout satisfies you, and publish it on the display wall.
Exceptional functionality
Be it for the recording of programs in studios or OB-vans, or for the routing of several feeds to and from studios in master and traffic control, iStudio provides unique and powerful functionalities beyond that of traditional studio monitors.
For instant layout switching, the iStudio concept is unparalleled. For adjustment of camera parameters, the output from thirty cameras can be displayed on one 50, 67, 70 or 80" display, providing an easy, reliable comparison.
Let iStudio be the watchdog of your network!
Uninterrupted monitoring of signal presence, and alarm generation in the event of e.g. loss of signal, have become increasingly important with the ever-growing number of channels brought to us by digital TV.
In addition to monitoring, the iStudio's management capability allows the installation of customized automation tasks to interact with existing video routing systems, and thus perform automatic restoration of services in the event of device or transmission failure.
Typical applications for video source monitoring & management, are digital uplink centers and video retransmission stations.
Managed broadcast monitoring for 24/7 uptime
iStudio's advanced warning features are highly valued. Its graphic controller Hydra can detect fault conditions on the incoming feeds - both video and audio - and notify the operator of these errors in a variety of ways.
Hydra then communicates the alarm to network management systems via SNMP traps or XML.
If an alarm is monitored on screen, the operator can bring the entire network process diagram alive with a simple mouse click. At a single glance, the operator can detect the failure and take the necessary actions.
Hydra can monitor an alarm on screen, log it to a file, or allow the operator to confirm it in the alarm list provided by the user interface.
Monitoring of VBI info such as closed captioning,V-chip, WSS and XDS is all integrated in the Hydra controller.
Managed broadcast monitoring supports your quality of service 24/7!
Digital or analog inputs
iStudio can display a wide range of source types, covering practically all the standards commonly required by the industry. These include analog and digital video on PAL, SECAM and NTSC, HD-SDI and analog RGB-HD, in 4:3 or 16:9 formats and computer images through analog RGB or digital DVI (VGA, SVGA, XGA, SXGA, UXGA). Each image can be upscaled to the full output resolution ranging from SVGA up to SXGA.
Any additional information, such as computer-generated objects, digital or analog clocks, animated logos, and counters as well as tally indicators, source identifications, and audiometers, is flawlessly displayed. You can position any content exactly where you want: next to the video image, or overlaid on it in transparent mode.
Audio monitoring
iStudio offers the possibility of real-time calibrated in-picture audio metering: it handles embedded audio for 30 video channels (SDI) with each 16 audio channels/SDI inputs or up to 112 external audio channels, analog or AES/EBU.
Open protocol

Main features include on-screen peak meters, phase and loudness meters, as well as full customization of bar size, orientation, position and colors. All popular scales and ballistics can be selected.
