HDR Image Analyzer 12G provides the necessary connectivity to support advanced 8K/UltraHD2 HDR/WCG and SDR production monitoring and analysis workflows, including video payload identifier (VPID) analysis.

8K/UltraHD2 workflows are increasing, and so are the products that support them. Ensure your workflow gets set up correctly the first time by validating 8K/UltraHD2 VPIDs before you get started with HDR Image Analyzer 12G.

Providing the same high quality and precision analysis tools available for all other video formats, this powerful analyzer is a smart investment for today's needs as well as ensuring you are ready for tomorrow.

Supports Dolby Vision® dynamic metadata inspection and analysis for advanced HDR mastering and QC applications.

• Display of SDI embedded Dolby Vision dynamic metadata
• Supports both Dolby Vision v4.0 and v2.9 through automatic detection
• Presents scene-by-scene/shot-by-shot metadata in various ways:
  • Visually in the waveform showing NIT markers for L1 metadata (Min, Mid, Max)
  • Other Dolby Vision metadata in Dolby Vision tools in human readable text

Simultaneously analyze up to 4x 4K/UltraHD signals side-by-side. Perfect for camera matching and camera testing applications providing the ability to see, in real-time, the matching adjustments made.  This is also helpful for analyzing different cameras in a multi-camera environment, multiple deliverables, or even QCing multiple projects at one time.  Mix and match SDI and NDI signal analysis for ultimate flexibility.

The use of Network Device Interface (NDI) is expanding into a wide range of applications from Pro AV to broadcast and postproduction applications. NDI and SDI signals are often being used within the same applications.  

New in version 3.0 is the ability to analyze and monitor NDI signals by adding NDI streams to the list of available source devices for signal analysis. NDI signals can now be analyzed with the same high quality tools as your SDI signals. Applications are endless and HDR Image Analyzer 12G helps to bridge the gap between SDI and NDI workflows.

• NDI inputs support 4K/UltraHD/2K/HD
• Supports “Full NDI” (High Bandwidth NDI)
• Mix and match SDI and NDI signal analysis

Colorist Samuel Bilodeau from Mystery Box offers practical and personal insights as a power user of the HDR Image Analyzer. Based on his on-set and in the post suite experiences, he shares his favorite features and why the HDR Image Analyzer is vital to their workflow from end-to-end.

Modern cameras are inherently HDR capable with their wide dynamic ranges, and for live events, recording, and broadcasts, it’s crucial to monitor their dynamic range and gamut outputs being employed for HDR delivery.

With input support for both leading camera Log formats as well as SDR, HLG, and PQ monitoring from a range of sources, HDR Image Analyzer 12G takes the pain out of HDR/WCG monitoring. With a wide range of analysis tools and automatic error logging with timecode stamping, HDR Image Analyzer 12G ensures your production achieves the desired final results.

The HDR Image Analyzer 12G interface provides a quadrant layout for viewing your tools and footage as you work. Quick key shortcuts provide preconfigured common layouts for how your tools and views are presented.

For quick and easy layout customization, you can choose a particular tool to be shown in any of the quadrants by either right clicking on the quadrant itself and choosing your preferred tool or by accessing quadrant choices from the Analyzer Mode menu.  

Each quadrant is individually configurable to present an analysis tool for any of the four channels. Mix and match SDI and NDI signal analysis as needed.  

A four channel view is available to monitor four signals simultaneously, with each channel showing the image, waveform, and vectorscope plus audio metering.

Working with the HDR Image Analyzer 12G is simple and flexible with its 4x 12G-SDI connections and dual 10 GigE interfaces for media and control.

Connect your SDI sources to one or more of the 12G-SDI connections and connect the dual 10 GigE RJ-45’s to the network with access to your Full NDI sources.

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

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