Eyeheight introduce SA-2HD safe-area generator

Eyeheight's new SA-2HD high-definition safe-area generator provides guide markers for all common television and film formats.
Safe-action and safe-caption areas are clearly shown by the use of cursor lines, user-selectable shading or black areas. The selected safe-area markers are placed onto the HDTV video feed which can then be viewed on a monitor display.
This allows programme originators and telecine transfer houses to ensure that the essential elements of a high-definition widescreen picture are within the safe areas to maintain good visibility on a 16:9 screen.
The SA-2HD generates all commonly used guidelines, including safe-action and safe-title areas, centre markers (short and full screen), moveable horizontal and vertical cursors, variable aspect ratio box and edge blanking lines (analogue and digital).
Preset aspect ratios can be switch-selected within the SA-2HD for all common television and film formats. Dynamic Cursor Visibility (DCV) is used to keep all guidelines visible for black to white backgrounds.
Variable top and bottom film blanking is provided with choice of opacity (line, black or semi-transparent).
A text height measurement system is also incorporated.
