Major upgrade for Leader LV5800 HD/SD-SDI monitoring instrument

Leader Electronics Corporation announces a major upgrade of the LV5800 monitoring instrument capabilities. Two important features have been added:

• Full support for loudness measurement in embedded audio (PCM, Dolby-E, AC3) and AES-EBU (PCM, Dolby-E, AC3)
• Video frame capture triggering by alarm. Possible triggers are: TRS Error / Line Number Error / Illegal Code Error / Parity Error (ANC Data) / Checksum Error (ANC Data) / Gamut Error / Composite Gamut Error / Level Error.

These new features are included as standard with all new instruments shipped as of today. All existing customers are entitled to a free upgrade.

The loudness measurement complies with ITU-R BS.1770-1, Loudness-F and Loudness-S scales and is available for embedded and external audio, including configurations with Dolby-E.

The frame capture triggering offers a strong analysis tool: if an error occurs a full frame of video is available for investigation of the problem at any suitable moment. Through the free choice of errors to be included, this tool helps to pinpoint all and any problem with the video signal.

Leader’s LV5800 monitor is a modular and very powerful instrument capable of measuring up to 8 HD or SD-SDI signals simultaneously in any mix of formats, including Dual-link (in that case 4 signals simultaneously), MPEG2 ASI signals, eye pattern and jitter, embedded and AES-EBU Audio, Composite PAL or NTSC and 3G. The high-resolution screen (1024x768 pixels) can be split in 4 or 2 segments. Leader’s patented Cinelite and Cinezone software can be used on this instrument.

The LV5800 is part of a complete offering of video measurement instruments for TV studio’s, Outside Broadcasting trucks, edit suites and post-production.
