Leader will showcase solutions from the Leader, Phabrix and LeaderPhabrix brands, including the LPX500 multichannel 4K waveform monitor and Zen-W Series advanced analysers for the production market, as well as tools like the LT4670 sync pulse generator and NDI signal troubleshooting and monitoring software NDI Checker.
The first in a significant family of video analysis and generation instruments under the new LeaderPhabrix brand, the LPX500 is a four simultaneous input waveform monitor with 100G-IP and 12G-SDI toolsets. Its feature set includes: simultaneous display of four 4K inputs, 4K and 2K inputs, HDR and SDR inputs, or SDI and IP inputs; optional extended 8in touchscreen; multiple screen layouts; and advanced SDI physical layer analysis (eye and jitter) option with support for SD/HD/3G/6G/12G-SDI.
The LPX500’s new V1.1 software release will be demonstrated on the stand, adding 10G/25G/100G IP interfaces with SMPTE 2022-6, SMPTE ST 2110-10/20/20/31/40 with ST 2022-7, and AMWA NMOS. A host of optional software licences are offered, including UHD/4K support, HDR, 25G IP, 100G IP, EUHD (47.95-60p RGB YCbCr 444 formats) and SDI/IP AV test signal generation.
Also developed to meet the full requirements of the production market is the Zen-W Series of advanced analysers, which is one of the most demanding broadcast media T&M environments. Incorporating the Real-Time Communication (WebRTC) interface, which enables secure remote control and monitoring from a web-connected desktop or laptop computer, the Zen-W Series comprises two products: the LV5600W waveform monitor, which is a 3U high half-rack-width unit with an integral 7in touchscreen; and the LV7600W rasteriser, occupying a compact 1U and providing SDI plus TMDS monitor outputs.
Leader will also present a number of essential tools for everyday broadcast applications, such as the Leader LT4760 sync pulse generator. Once again suitable for the full spectrum of SDI, IP and hybrid workflow requirements, the LT4760 is a 1U full rack synchronous signal generator that is compatible with Black Burst/Tri-level sync/PTP signals for both SDI and IP systems. Specifically, it outputs PTP, GNSS, 4K/HD IP, 4K 12G, 3G/HD/SD SDI, analogue synchronous signals, AES/EBU, audio word clock and LTC synchronised to analogue video sync signals.
As the NDI (Network Device Interface) video connectivity technology has become increasingly popular during the past few years, Leader is also showing its NDI Checker signal software. Designed for live NDI signal troubleshooting and monitoring, NDI Checker is geared towards use by engineers, technical directors and production staff working in environments ranging from small studios to multi-venue broadcast operations. Allowing users to maintain complete visibility across their entire NDI networks, NDI Checker’s visualisation tools and diagnostic capabilities allow the detection of issues before they become problems, as well as the maintenance of optimal signal quality and flawless production delivery.
In addition to showcasing some of the key products from the current range, Leader personnel will be on hand to discuss the replacement or upgrading from legacy equipment, some of which may no longer be supported.
