Leader Electronics will demonstrate the latest additions to its wide range of broadcast measurement and monitoring solutions at IBC 2023, including the show debut of option LV5600-SER33 for the Leader LV5600 waveform monitor, and its LV7600-SER33 equivalent for the Leader LV7600 rasteriser.
Purchasable as an option which can be activated for new or existing instruments, the SER33 toolset offers TV broadcast production teams the resources they need to check the quality of their JPEG XS feeds during pre-transmission system alignment and live content delivery.
Incoming JPEG XS signal streams can be decoded within the test instrument for comparison with uncompressed sources using the multi-screen facilities common to the LV5600 and LV7600. The toolset also includes a JPEG XS test pattern generator.
Kevin Salvidge, Sales Engineering Manager at Leader Europe, said, “JPEG XS is rapidly gaining popularity among media professionals as a highly efficient, visually lossless, low latency data format for critical applications such as broadcast contribution feeds, studio-to-transmitter links and virtual reality.
“JPEG XS compresses the data volume by up to 15:1, depending on the amount of detail and movement in the transmitted image. It includes high dynamic range (HDR) compatibility and can accommodate bit depths of up to 16 bits per component channel.”
Housed in a half-rack width 3U rack mount or desktop chassis with a touchscreen front panel display, Leader’s LV5600 waveform monitor provides the facilities needed to monitor SDI as well as video-over-IP signals in a hybrid operating environment. Also incorporated are Leader’s CINEZONE and CINELITE, which allow fast and intuitive quality monitoring by content production staff.
The Leader LV7600 rasteriser offers the same capabilities as the LV5600 but in a low-profile 19-inch 1U form-factor for easy rack or desk mounting.Leader will be located at booth 10.C01 at IBC 2023, which is taking place from September 15 -18 at the RAI Convention Centre, Amsterdam.
