K-Will Promotes New Digital Test Set

K-Will, a Woodland Hills, Calif.-based manufacturer of broadcast test equipment, announced a new test set for measuring digital video quality and lip-sync errors.

The device, the VP-3000, can check an MPEG signal for a variety of parameters, as well as test for causes of an image and associated audio falling out of sync.

“There’s a lot of things that will cause lip-sync drift,” said John Alexenko, general manager of K-Will Corp.

K-Will’s measurement technique avoids the problems that occur when a marker is injected into the data stream to test for lip-sync drift.

By keeping the signal clean, K-Will’s process eliminates the chance that test data will corrupt the signal further downstream. The VP-3000 joins a family of MPEG and lip-sync testing products from K-Will, including test sets for HD and standard-definition video, as well as automatic monitoring equipment for multichannel video/audio quality.
