Harris Predator II-GX Expandable, Dual-Head, Auto-Sensing Multiviewer

The Harris® Predator II-GX™ is more than just an HD multiviewer — it is a complete HD control and monitoring solution. It features auto-sensing support for multiple input standards and a modular architecture that allows smaller models to be expanded as demand grows. Combining pristine-quality images, easy-to-use editing software and an array of standard video and audio monitoring capabilities, the Predator II-GX also offers extensive ancillary data decoding capabilities. An optional computer graphics card allows for the addition of test, monitoring or control sources onscreen as part of the multi-image display.
