Hamlet Introduces Compact High-Resolution Colour Legaliser

An expert in high precision cost effective test and measurement equipment, is extending its range with the IBC2010 launch of KromaScope, a full feature colour processor and legaliser.
Hamlet's compact device is available in a half width 1U form factor, making it an ideal companion for the new Hamlet DS900 compact DigiScope.
Maintaining Hamlet's programme of products, which are flexible as well as affordable, the new KromaScope is capable of processing standard and high-definition video, including 3Gb/s signals for 1080p HD. It provides full colour legalising on any format, with individual controls when used as a colour correcting process amplifier.
User controls include separate adjustment of Y, U and V gain and of U and V pedestal and limiting, as well as adjustment of Y delay to maintain correct timing. There is adjustment of black, luma and chroma levels, and the ability to crop the picture. Three buffered outputs are provided, with bypass in the event of power failure.
"At Hamlet we believe strongly that it is better to measure and control video quality rather than just send a signal out and hope that it is right," said Steve Nunney, Director of Hamlet. "A dumb colour legaliser can be a dangerous tool, so providing comprehensive control to allow the user to achieve the best possible quality is the right way to go. We have put all this in a cabinet which makes it an ideal companion product for the new DigiScope DS900 – test, measurement and correction in one compact and convenient place."
The Hamlet KromaScope is also available in a desktop enclosure. The new product will be deliverable immediately after IBC2010. See the KromaScope, the DS900 and all other Hamlet products at IBC on stand 10.A24.
