HDR Image Analyzer 12G

HDR Waveform, Histogram and Vectorscope Monitoring

Overview

HDR Image Analyzer 12G delivers a comprehensive array of tools for the effective analysis of the latest 4K/UltraHD HDR standards, over a single cable with 12G-SDI, – including HLG, PQ, Rec.2020 and Rec.709 – from 8K/UltraHD2/4K/UltraHD/2K/HD content in a convenient real time 1RU device.

Developed in partnership with Colorfront, AJA HDR Image Analyzer 12G supports a wealth of inputs from camera LOG formats to SDR (REC 709), PQ (ST 2084) and HLG and offers color gamut support for BT.2020 alongside traditional BT.709. AJA hardware prowess ensures high reliability and performance, with 4x 12G-SDI bidirectional I/O, and DisplayPort connections.

Specifically designed to be used wherever needed, the 1RU form factor fits into a range of environments, providing the confidence you need for consistent and predictable HDR production and mastering.

Features

  • HDR Waveform, Histogram and Vectorscope Monitoring
  • UltraHD UI for native-resolution picture display including PQ support for HDR capable displays
  • Configurable layouts allow you to put the tool you need in the window you need it
  • Support for display referred SDR (Rec.709), HDR ST2084/PQ, and HLG analysis
  • Support for scene referred ARRI, Canon, Panasonic, RED and Sony camera color spaces
  • Precision CIE graph, vectorscope, waveform, and histogram support
  • False color mode to easily spot out of gamut/out of brightness pixels
  • NIT levels and audio phase metering
  • Line mode to focus a region of interest onto a single horizontal or vertical line
  • File base error logging with timecode
  • Three year warranty

Workflow

Working with the HDR Image Analyzer 12G is simple and flexible with its 4x 12G-SDI bidirectional connections.

Connect your sources to one or more of the 12G-SDI connections and loop through to monitors or further in your pipeline with the remaining 12G-SDI connections.

For 8K/UltraHD2 workflows, simply connect your source to all four of the 12G-SDI connections.

Connect an UltraHD display (up to 60p) from a DisplayPort connection for best viewing of both the footage and the HDR Image Analyzer 12G interface – if necessary the DisplayPort can drive an HDMI monitor with a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter.

FS-HDR

Real Time HDR/WCG Conversion
with the Colorfront Engine™ Video Processing

 

Overview

FS-HDR, a 1RU, rackmount, universal converter/frame synchronizer, is designed specifically to meet the High Dynamic Range (HDR) and Wide Color Gamut (WCG) needs of broadcast, OTT, production, post, and live event AV environments, where real time, low latency processing and color fidelity is required for 4K/UltraHD and 2K/HD workflows. Developed in partnership with Colorfront, the FS-HDR’s HDR/WCG functionality is powered by Colorfront Engine™ proprietary video processing algorithms.

In Single Channel Mode, FS-HDR also serves as a full, 1-Channel up, down, cross-converter for 4K/UltraHD/2K/HD HDR/WCG transformation. In 4-Channel Mode, FS-HDR offers 4 independent channels of 2K/HD HDR/WCG transformations as well as up, down, and cross conversions.

The pursuit of High Dynamic Range (HDR) is the dream of getting closer to the Human Visual System (HVS) in all that we experience as viewers. FS-HDR has been designed to get us all there faster with a low profile, stand-alone, and real time device uniquely designed to bridge SDR to HDR, HDR to SDR, and HDR to HDR, all in real time.

HDR Conversions:

  • HDR to HDR
  • SDR to HDR
  • HDR to SDR

WCG Conversions:

  • BT.709 and BT.2020

Up and Down Conversion examples:

  • Converting HD SDR BT.709 sources to UltraHD HDR BT.2020
  • Converting UltraHD HDR BT.2020 sources to HD SDR BT.709 or HD HDR BT.2020

    FS-HDR Key Features
