Standard Apps
The base model is equipped with a rich set of standard applications.
Customization and Personalization
PRISM is designed to be used in multiple applications from HD-SDI Live Acquisition to 25G ST 2110 IP Engineering and diagnostics. Software modules Options can be added any time to customize the instrument to meet the needs of job at hand.
The software based UI can then be personalized to meet the needs of the individuals on the team and how they like to work. These configurations can be stored as presets for quick instrument setup when needed.
With multiple ways to mount and install the instrument and multiple ways to interact with, and control the instrument, PRISM fits comfortably into any environment.
Flexible Display Configurations
Single Display
Flexible tile configurations provide full screen, two, three and four tile layouts giving flexibility in selecting a variety of software apps for your specific application while still allow easy viewing of each display. Each layout can be customized for each user and assigned as a preset.
Dual Display
With Dual screen displays each display can be configured the same way you can configure a single screen instrument providing an abundance of ways to personalize the user experience. Your layout can go from two full tiles to a total of eight quarter tile display applications and anything in between.
Multi-Input Monitoring
With the MULTI option operators can easily compare different input channels and use the wide variety of Apps within PRISM that can be tailored to meet your applications. These various configurations can be saved as presets for easy recall and gives operators and engineers the ability to customize the inputs and applications to suit their needs from camera shading to color correcting with HDR and SDR content.
Remote Connectivity
Engineering and production staff increasingly need to work remotely, and PRISM can be controlled via noVNC using the same UI that can be accessed from the front panel. Providing the user with fully featured access to the monitoring and measurement applications available within PRISM.
Remotely configure and export presets, download the event log and use Syslog for remote analysis of events and alarms.
High Dynamic Range Exposure Measurement
Managing exposure is key to the creation of great content. PRISM provides a mix of traditional and new tools such as False Color Displays, STOP waveform, Lightmeter and internal LUTs for managing S-Log 2, S-Log 3, Log-C, HLG and PQ gamma curves to enable objective level and luminance area measurements to ensure consistency.
Wide Color Gamut and Color Management
The combination of high resolution, wide color gamut and high dynamic range can bring the image to life.
PRISM provides all the tools needed to balance your camera, check color consistency and master in multiple color spaces. The Vector and CIE chart displays provides adjustment of color for Rec. 709 and 2020 color spaces. The Telestream Diamond display simplifies adjustment of the R/G/B components.
The CIE charts ensure compliance for Rec. 709, 2020 and DCI P3 with False Color Gamut overlays in the picture display make it easy to identify colors that are outside the DCI-P3 or Rec.709 color space.
Remotely configure and export presets, download the event log and use Syslog for remote analysis of events and alarms.
Audio Monitoring
PRISM provides a set of audio monitoring tools for embedded audio and ST2110-30 or -31. Including configurable audio bars, Loudness measurement, Surround Sound, Lissajous phase, and Audio Session displays, for monitoring multi-channel 5.1, 7.1 and 7.1.4 mixes with Dolby Digital and E decoding. Dolby ED2 is supported for Metadata display in Dolby Status. Display up to 32 Channels of audio for 8K productions.
Listen to the selected audio channels or downmixed stereo channels via headphones or through optional integrated speakers on the MPX2.
IP Facility Design, Commissioning and Maintenance
The transition to IP needs a comprehensive tool set to provide visibility of your Audio, Video and Data streams throughout the network.
PRISM provides 10GE support for ST2022-6, ST2022-7 and ST2110 as standard with simple software upgrade to 25GE connectivity. Straightforward monitoring of IP streams with measurement applications to help characterize network performance and troubleshoot issues.
SDI Engineering and Maintenance
Ensuring continued operation of equipment within the facility or network is critical to maintaining a high quality. The Telestream PRISM provides and extensive set of tools to aid in troubleshooting problems and diagnosing issues. For SDI a 12G Eye display can be used to check on the health of transmission of the signal.
With the Datalist and ANC Session allowing investigation of metadata issues to ensure SCTE104, Closed Captions and AFD are present within the signal and being decoded correctly.
For validation of Lip Sync issues AV Delay measures the timing difference between audio to video using a simple flash pop sequence generated by the Telestream SPG and provides a measurement of advance or delay for up to 16 channels.
See the bigger picture…
See what is happening on the whole network 24/7 and respond to issues quickly and decisively. PRISM and the Telestream Inspect 2110 probe work in conjunction to provide large scale monitoring by exception, network visibility and deep content and stream diagnostics at the click of a button. The complete Engineering and Operations solution all from one company that can grow as your network grows.
Live Production
Live production is a high pressure environment for Video Shaders and the Engineer in Charge. They need the right tools to help them setup the OB Truck quickly and reliably. Once the event starts the Shaders need easy to use instruments and easy to understand displays to allow them to make camera adjustment decisions quickly and accurately regardless of whether it is an HDR or an SDR production.
Customizable UI’s, managed presets and specialist tools for exposure and color makes PRISM the ideal tool for this environment. Manage exposure multiple ways using the waveform, false color picture display, Stop display and Lightmeters. Manage color using the vector display, diamond display, CIE chart, and false color picture display for gamut. With MULTI options users can monitor up to four SDI inputs simultaneously to make comparisons of multiple cameras or compare SDR to HDR content.
All the tools that the Shading team would expect and more.
Post Production
Quickly delivering high-quality content is critical to success as a Post Production professional. Editors and colorists need trusted, easy-to-use, tools to help accurately adjust exposure levels, manage looks, match color and exposure between scenes, and much more.
PRISM provides an array of both unique and traditional tools to manage exposure and color. These include Stop displays for easily measuring signal levels on the same scale you manage light levels; CIE charts with easy-to-read Rec.709, DCI P3, and Rec.2020 limit indicators; customizable false color image overlays to easily identify exposure and color gamut anomalies; and colored RGB Parade display, and traditional waveform and vector displays. These tools are wrapped in a proven UI, with usability features like a large floating timecode display and easy-to-read AFD / safe area / center graticules, that can be personalized to let you work the way your team and workflows need it to work.
For applications beyond the needs of broadcast television, PRISM supports DCI 2048×1080, 4096×2160 4K sources. The growing list of formats includes 10 or 12bit RGB via SDI at frame rates of 23, 24, 25, 29, and 30p; and 10bit YCbCr via ST 2110-20 at 23, 24, 25, 29, 30, 50, 59, and 60p, among others.
