The Harris series of 1RU processors also includes the X85™ and X75™ platforms. The X50 features up/down/cross conversion with optional 1080p 3 Gb/s, eight analog and four AES inputs and outputs, and 16 channels of embedded audio processing. Included as standard are color correction, closed caption/teletext capabilities, control and monitoring via a built-in Web server, support for Active Format Description (AFD) and two fully controllable Aspect Ratio Converters. The X50 processor is ideal for a range of broadcast workflows — from small stations and OB vans to production studios and networks.
Harris also was honored with Broadcast Engineering magazine’s Pick Hit award for its Predator II-GX™, a complete HD control and monitoring solution available in a 1 or 2RU frame. The Predator II-GX offers built-in autosensing support for multiple input standards, as well as options for graphics input display and integrated audio monitoring. The Predator II-GX also has the ability to take on additional inputs, making it a truly expandable system. Featuring low system latency, a highly intuitive user interface and extensive metadata processing, Predator II-GX multiviewers meet the demands of space-restrictive environments. The compact design greatly reduces power consumption, resulting in low long-term operational costs. Predator II-GX is ideal for control rooms, outside broadcast vans, production centers or monitoring facilities that require a flexible, scalable architecture.
