"At CCW 2014 we'll highlight
products with innovative
functionality that enables
users to realize greater
efficiency and — through both
cost savings and new
revenue-generating
opportunities — a rapid
return on their technology
investment. In particular, we
will demonstrate the
capabilities of the awardwinning Tachyon Wormhole
file-based media retiming
solution, including the ability
to insert additional ad spots
seamlessly and to reduce and
expand content runtime for
international distribution
without the need for manual
editing of media."

Tachyon® Wormhole™ Media Retiming
The award-winning Tachyon® Wormhole™ file-based media retiming solution enables up
to a plus or minus 10 percent runtime adjustment while preserving not only video and
audio quality, but also closed caption integrity. Based on Cinnafilm's popular Tachyon
algorithms and the Wohler RadiantGrid Intelligent Media Transformation Platform™
framework, Tachyon Wormhole saves time for content producers, allowing them to "fit
and fill" — easily adjusting content to meet specific customers' length requirements
without compromising the integrity or quality of audio, video, and captioning/subtitling.
In many cases, this approach allows users to replace a great deal of expensive
specialized hardware with a single server at a fraction of the cost. At the same time,
Tachyon Wormhole not only gives time back to broadcasters and content distributors,
but also allows them to realize new revenue opportunities without materially altering the
viewer's experience of their media assets.
RadiantGrid Intelligent Media Transformation Platform™ Version 8.7
The award-winning version 8.7 of the Wohler RadiantGrid Intelligent Media
Transformation Platform™ offers broadcasters a variety of powerful tools that boost the
efficiency of file-based workflows for multiplatform media delivery. The platform enables
fully compliant OTT offerings for leading formats, including MPEG-DASH, HLS, and
Microsoft Smooth Streaming, and aids broadcasters and other content producers in
meeting the array of target bit rates, resolutions, and frame rates necessary for today's
content delivery ecosystem.

Tachyon® Wormhole™ File-Based Media
Retiming Solution
The media processing engine parallelizes complex audio loudness correction alongside
the video at unprecedented speeds. Along with optimized video pipeline features such as
anamorphic video handling, 2K/4K Ultra HD support, and bit depths of up to 16-bit YUV,
the RadiantGrid platform has been enhanced with the RadiantGrid Detect and Correct™
video legalization option, which leverages Wohler's unique RightHue™ algorithm to
ensure comprehensive NTSC and PAL color compliance within the file-based domain.
MPEG DVB-ASI and IPTV Monitors
Providing functionality critical for facilities migrating toward IP-oriented distribution
networks, the award-winning MPEG Series monitors decode and provide convenient at-aglance monitoring of program content from MPEG-2/4 ASI and Ethernet IP streams, as
well as 3G/HD-SDI inputs. To meet broadcasters' increasing need for stream-based
monitoring, the MPEG video monitors identify, decode, and display in high resolution
both MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 signals (input via BNC or Ethernet), while giving users the
ability to browse the PAT, PMT, PID, EIT, and NIT data (both ATSC and DVB tables) for
each selected stream. In addition to MPEG ASI and dual-input 3G/HD-SDI with loopthrough, the MPEG monitors also accommodate audio with level meters, GPI, and tally.
Convenient monitoring capabilities include Dolby Digital and Digital+ decoding, as well as
the capacity to decode as many as 12 audio groups. In-picture level metering of up to 16
channels of audio is provided for both average and PPM (peak) levels with selectable
meter scales.
AMP2-E16V Series Modular Audio/Video Processing Monitor
The AMP2-E16V monitor's feature list continues to be the longest in the industry, yet the
product is operated with one-touch simplicity. In addition to its top-quality audio system,
it features simultaneous multiformat monitoring, quick program selection, instant stereo
downmix, loudness monitoring, internal channel mixing including SDI re-embedding, and
audio delays. The monitor also includes a wide variety of meter scales and ways to view
meters, video, and Dolby or SMPTE 2020 metadata.
The AMP2-E16V offers Dolby Zoom, Dolby E line position, and CRC error monitoring, as
well as automatic system configuration based upon signal inputs, 32 complete system
configuration presets, a complete internal help system, and Ethernet software updates.
Audio processor card options facilitate easy configuration for multiple SDI, AES I/O,
analog I/O, and connection to external surround systems.
A new AVB Monitoring Option card allows AVB channels to be mixed, level-adjusted, and
monitored alongside AES, SDI, analog, and other input types, and in the same fashion.
Further enhancements include new processing modules and newly developed software
that expand the feature set and capabilities to include loudness monitoring and extended
audio interfacing.

AMP1-16M Dual 3G/HD/SD-SDI Audio Monitor
Wohler's new AMP1-16M dual-input SDI audio monitor provides high-performance
Agency Contact:
monitoring of embedded audio in two 3G/HD/SD-SDI streams at an attractive price
point. The 1-RU system de-embeds and provides metering and monitoring of any or all
of the 16 audio channels in the selected 3G/HD/SD-SDI stream. It assures intuitive
operation and clear display of levels and other critical information using bright 2.4-inch
LED-backlit LCD displays, enabling one-touch monitoring and summing of any selected
channel pair(s) to built-in speakers, headphones, or XLR-balanced analog outputs.
The AMP1-16M monitor features a number of convenient capabilities including remote
access for setup and storage of user-defined presets via Ethernet and USB connections,
along with gain adjustment/trim on individual audio channels with the ability to assign
channels as left, right, or center (both) to the internal audio system and the analog
outputs. It offers both pass-through of each SDI input and a reclocked output of the
selected monitored SDI stream.
RDM-173 Slide-Out Rackmount Video Monitor
Wohler will feature the company's RDM-173 slide-out video monitor, a 1-RU rackmount
system that provides robust monitoring tools and 17-inch HD IPS (1920 x 1080) display
in a design that is ideal for space-constrained environments. An optimal solution for AV
conferencing and both electronic newsgathering (ENG) and OB production, as well as for
integration into electronic field production (EFP) flypacks, the RDM-173 supports all
formats of 3G/HD/SD-SDI, HDMI, DVI, composite, Y/C, and component video. The highresolution display provides superb imaging video quality with viewing angles of 160°H by
140°V and both picture-in-picture (PIP) and picture-by-picture (PBP) display modes. The
unit provides a 16-channel level meter on-screen, as well as waveform and vectorscope
display, tally, time code, format display, and area/title safe indicators. Front-panel
controls simplify operation, and intuitive on-screen menus make configuration easy.
