Harris' Videotek® HD-STAR portable,
battery powered, handheld HD-SDI & SD-SDI video and embedded audio
generator and video and audio monitor provides multi-format
functionality and versatility that set it apart from other handheld test
and measurement products on the market.
With a powerful array of features and functions that include a Video
Test Signal Generator, Color Monitor, Waveform Monitor, Vectorscope,
Serial Data Analyzer and an Audio Analyzer/Monitor, the lightweight
HD-STAR is ideal for monitoring field production camera setup, equipment
installation, or troubleshooting signal path issues related to high
definition and standard definition digital formats.
This PDA-sized test monitor was designed to offer the convenience of
portability without sacrificing function and performance. To enhance the
user's experience, the HD-STAR features an integrated 320 x 240 color
LCD display, utilizing touch-screen technology and the provided stylus
to control and configure each operation. Maintaining power in the field
won't be a problem - the HD-STAR runs on a Li-Ion battery pack.

SD-SDI signals formatted in SMPTE 292 M or SMPTE 259 M-C with embedded
audio. The test signal generator has two outputs selectable as HD-SDI or

audio from the SDI source.
