LEADER/PHABRIX: WAVEFORM MONITOR
LEADER waveform monitors are used primarily in broadcast, production, and post-production environments to ensure the technical quality and integrity of video and audio signals that is crucial for managing the transition to new technologies such as 4K/8K, HDR, UHD and IP-based workflows.
Typical Features (Model Dependent);
- 4K/UHD and 8K Analysis
- Audio Monitoring
- CINEZONE & CINELITE [1]
- Customizable Displays
- Full Range SDR [2]
- HDR/SDR and WCG Monitoring and Analysis
- Hybrid IP/SDI Workflows
- Multi-format Signal Support
- Multi-Input & Multi-Display
- Physical Layer Analysis (Eye Pattern & Jitter)
- Vectorscope & CIE Chart
- Waveform Display
Additionally, the remote controller LV7290 can be used to remotely control up to 8 units of waveform monitors or rasterizers via Ethernet by connecting to the ETHERNET terminal.
[1] CINEZONE & CINELITE: Unique features that use false colours (CINEZONE) to quickly assess exposure levels and allow measurement of specific picture points (CINELITE)
[2] Full Range SDR: Include waveform display, vectorscope, CIE chart, histogram, CineLite, CineZone, and full range of DPX and TIFF file captures
- Broadcast Engineering: Ensuring signal compliance and integrity across complex transmission chains, including the transition from SDI to IP workflows
- Content Production (Live Events & OB): Facilitating quick camera setups, focus assist, and exposure management in the field (Outside Broadcast) and studio environments
- Post-Production: Validating and troubleshooting High Dynamic Range (HDR) and Wide Color Gamut (WCG) content, as well as managing color workflows using tools like 3D-LUT conversions and CIE color charts
- Research & Development: Used in the design and testing of new video equipment and formats, including 8K and 4K systems
- Manufacturing and Quality Control: Ensure consumer electronics or parts meet specific technical standards
- Field Maintenance: Portable and battery-operable designs (eg LV5300A)
