Broadcast Monitor for Windows ยท Live video and audio monitoring

A better picture starts with knowing what to look for.

When the show is live, you need more than a picture that looks good on one screen. Broadcast Monitor puts your video alongside tools that reveal exposure, color, and audio levels, helping you make confident adjustments before a small problem becomes part of the show.

Connect the picture to its measurements. The built-in concert photograph feeds the picture and video scopes; the generator supplies a separate stereo alignment tone for the audio pane. These are illustrative test sources, available without capture hardware.
