Audio Monitors

The BM-A2-E8SHD is a 2U high-quality audio monitor, capable of monitoring discrete 3G, HD and SD multichannel audio, and decoding Dolby® E/Dolby® Digital sources. This class leading product, designed with close cooperation from Dolby Laboratories, builds on Bel’s reputation for providing very high quality and reliable broadcast solutions, whilst also maintaining our user friendly and stylish interfaces that are well respected throughout the industry.

The BM-A2-E8SHD accepts 2 x SDI and 2 x AES sources, and automatically detects between 3G, HD or SD video, displaying the current video format on the LCD display. 8 demuxed audio channels can be selected directly from 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.

A Dolby decoder is included in the BM-A2-E8SHD as standard. When 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. Eight high-resolution tricolour bargraphs are provided with user assignable ballistics and colour break points.
