CoolTouch Monitors is now shipping a new 4:3 high speed 17" rack-mounted LCD monitor with integrated audio confidence monitoring. The new RX-1701A offers Composite, S-Video, Analog RGB and Analog audio inputs.
"Many broadcasters, especially those dealing with sports content, have been slow to switch to LCD confidence monitoring for larger applications. When questioned, slow response time is amongst the most frequently cited reasons, and so with this in mind CoolTouch has produced a 17” LCD rack monitor capable of a response time of just 8ms (Tr+Td)." said Cian de Buitléir, Vice President of CoolTouch.
Where there is a need for video monitoring, there is often a need for confidence audio monitoring, which is why this LCD unit from CoolTouch offers an integrated stereo speaker system with front panel muting control to provide a comprehensive audio and video monitoring platform in a 8U chassis.
