The Predator HD8 combines an unprecedented level of functionality with industry leading display quality.

The HD8 includes, as standard, ZdH™ – Zandar Dual Head control. This compact 1RU system can, therefore, be used to display 8 images on one ultra high resolution display OR mode-switched to display 8 images across two displays as one virtual monitor wall – with no limitation on the placement of those sources within the super-screen. At its simplest, the HD8 provides DualQuad™ functionality – two Quad MultiViewers in a 1RU system. This level of flexibility ensures operator needs are met in the most effective manner.

The Predator HD8 offers user selectable output resolutions up to SXGA+, UXGA and 1080p, in addition to wide screen resolutions common to Plasma and LCD displays. The HD8 features input source auto-detection, embedded audio monitoring and alarms, and video fault detection and alarms. The HD8 also supports dynamic UMD and tally display from external routers, and clock and timecode display. Set-up is simple and control is via the on-screen graphical display (OSD), front panel LCD menu, the flexible Z-Configurator layout editing software and the optional Zandar Remote Panel (ZRP). GPI inputs and outputs are also provided in addition to Ethernet control. Based on proven technology, the Predator HD8 is an excellent solution for broadcast monitoring applications where quality is critical and flexibility demanded.
