Audio Monitors

The BM-A2-8SHD is a 2U high-quality audio monitor, capable of monitoring discrete 3G, HD and SD SDI multichannel audio sources and AES.

The BM-A2-8SHD accepts 2 x SDI and 2 x AES sources, and automatically detects between 3G, HD and SD video, displaying the current video format on the LCD display.

A total of 8 demuxed audio channels can be selected using the front panel rotary controls, making operation extremely simple. Each SDI input is provided with a loop-through output. An integral audio mix system enables any audio channel to be mixed on either, or both speakers, whilst maintaining a constant output level.

Eight high-resolution tricolour bargraphs are provided with user-assignable ballistics and colour break points.

An integral Dolby decoder PCB can be purchased from Bel as an option (BM-A2-DE upgrade kit). When installed and enabled it can decode Dolby® E or Dolby® Digital material from either the AES inputs, or from embedded audio data within the SDI bitstream.

Eight Dolby mix-down algorithms are available directly from a front panel rotary control. Comprehensive metadata reporting is also provided via the LCD display.
