Tested! Plura PRM-217-3G, In this new TM BROADCAST issue we analyze a kind of equipment that has a big presence in all our audiovisual productions. We are talking about the PRM217-3G monitor from the American manufacturer ” Plura Broadcast” represented by its subsidiary in Europe ” Plura Europe GmbH “.

Always focused in facilitate the work of media professionals, with designs made considering the needs of the end user as described in the numerous positive reviews for their teams. We are in a situation in which the technology goes fast forward increasing multi – purpose products, with the highest possible characteristics and reasonable prices. On this monitor these premises have presence. I work with all kinds of monitors during my workday. I meet with such classic tube monitors, although evicted years ago, but we still find them in almost all facilities, and also LCD panels, TFT, LED, etc, with different characteristics. With multi – screen generators is becoming increasingly complicated, through the screens on which are implemented, confirm that the image you are monitoring is the standard reference we want in our productions. Hence the need for monitors capable of offering a reliable reference video, with the possibility of external calibration to adjust its parameters over the years, without having to perform on a single monitor a relatively excessive financial outlay.

New Zealand Video News Magazine interviewed Plura President & CEO – Ray Kalo for their very fist interview at IBC 2014. Kalo discusses Plura’s recent acquisition of Alpermann -Velte Gmbh in Germany and how the addition of time code products to the Plura Products portfolio increases its global visibility while enhancing Plura’s overall digital broadcast and video production solutions. Other items discussed were the new PHB- Series (Plura High Brightness) 7 & 9 inch outdoor monitor solutions.
Plura’s broadcast monitors were selected for use in a new media center for DMH TV in Anchorage, Alaska.
After careful evaluation, Plura’s monitor products were place at the top of the list for monitor solutions for a number of reasons. These included the ability to handle the decoding and presentation of both 608 and 708 closed caption information, built-in audio monitoring capabilities, an extensive set of built-in video measurement tools, as well as the very fast screen response time that has become a necessity for proper viewing of today’s high action video content. We also sought picture monitors that could provide really great video quality and which also allowed up to 178-degree o -axis viewing. And as the DMH media center is a 24/7 operation, we also looked for monitors with a high reliability factor. Along the same lines, if we should have problems, we wanted a company that had a track record of providing a high level of support when it’s needed.
