LAS VEGAS— Omnitek will highlight the new audio and networking functionality added to its Ultra TQ broadcast waveform rasterizer at the 2018 NAB Show. Responding to industry demand, this network-connected test and measurement system now supports SDI up to 3G, as well as SMPTE 2110/2022-6 IP connections.

With this upgrade, the Ultra TQ now analyzes and decodes Dolby E and D audio for monitoring and quality checking, de-embeds SDI/2110/2022-6 audio content to AES/EBU audio outputs, and monitors AES/EBU audio on discrete audio connections. It also lets users connect to SDI and IP environments, with more latitude as to how they monitor audio content.

Omnitek will also display its Ultra XR 4K/UHD Waveform Rasterizer and Ultra 4K Tool Box 4K/UHD Analyzer/Generator/Converter, both running V3.4 software. The V3.4 release adds or improves the Lissajous display, AV delay measurement, propagation delay measurement and new status displays.

Also at the booth, Omnitek’s Design Services will be demonstrating its new OSP (Omnitek Standard Product) silicon chipset solutions for 4K AV over IP and 4K/HD warp, touting them as competitive alternatives to ASIC and ASSP devices.

Omnitek will be in booth C7412.

BASINGSTOKE, ENGLAND—IBC 2017 will serve as an introduction for Omnitek’s new Ultra TQ broadcast waveform rasterizer, per a recent show preview.

Ultra TQ

The video test and measurement provider’s next generation broadcast waveform rasterizer is based on the Ultra 4K Tool Box and Ultra XR technology. With this background, Ultra TQ can perform QC and monitoring of SD-SDI/HD-SDI/3G-SDI signals as standard. It also features the tools expected of a broadcast waveform rasterizer, including picture, waveform, monitor, vectorscope, video status, video timing, audio meters, audio status, loudness, TC logging and basic line pattern generator. Additional options are available to provide a broadcast solution for those working with either SDR or HDR material with PQ, Hybrid Log Gamma or S-Log profiles.

At the IBC conference, the Ultra TQ will be supporting analysis of video over SDI or IP links as a SMPTE 2110/SMPTE 2022-6 enabled waveform rasterizer for broadcast applications.

Additional Omnitek products expected to be shown during the conference include the Ultra XR 4K/UHD waveform rasterizer and the Ultra 4K Tool Box/UHD Analyzer/Generator/Converter, both running v3.3 software. The v3.3 release includes remote waveforms, video pass-through, audio meters with industry scales and ballistics, loudness graph, surround sound audio meters, program loudness meters, O-Zone picture scale, timecode display, clean display mode and many other features and improvements.

Omnike will be located at booth 10.A24 during IBC 2017.
