Specialist digital video equipment manufacturer Astrodesign Inc. (headquartered in Ota Ward in Tokyo and headed by Shigeaki Suzuki, company president) has developed and launched onto the market two audio monitor models: These units separate the audio (embedded audio) signals superimposed onto the SDI signals in the 3G, HD and SD formats from the video signals, and make it possible to monitor the signals on up to two channels simultaneously either through the speakers built into the main unit or with headphones.

The liquid crystal display features a broad selection of meters including a VU meter, audio peak meter, Lissajous waveform display, spectrum analyzer and loudness meter as well as a wide range of display functions including a video monitor function for input signals.
