WFM4000/5000 Waveform Monitor Series
Multi-format, multi-standard SD/HD-SDI waveform rasterizers
The WFM5000 and WFM4000 waveform monitors offer uncompromised monitoring quality with sharp CRT-like traces, patented Gamut displays, Picture thumbnail, Display freeze and an Error log for 10,000 events for efficient content compliance verification.
These portable video waveform monitors weigh less than 3 kg. and provide an ideal solution for basic video and audio monitoring needs in a convenient 3RU half-rack short depth form factor, suitable for space-constrained environments. Both models support options to accept power from a 12 VDC source, a battery or a 100-240 VAC converter. Both models come standard with support for 8 channels of Embedded Audio and 1 input for 2 channels of Digital AES audio.
