Ward-Beck Systems AMS16

The AMS16 is an embedded audio monitor. Using the front panel input source selection switches, the operator can select from two inputs of HD or SD-SDI with embedded audio. When the source selection is made, the unit will provide two reclocked outputs on the rear panel and display the audio signals on the sixteen bargraph meters. In addition, the unit will also provide discrete audio outputs of the selected source on the rear panel. Pushbutton switches located below each meter pair can be pressed to route that signal to the internal speakers and also provide two outputs of this signal on the rear panel. There is a headset jack located on the front panel. Inserting a headset will automatically mute the speakers. The AMS16 has a built in power supply and occupies 2 RU of space. Optionally the user may add a Dolby E/AC3 decoder.
