Test and measurement company Leader has introduced advanced cinematic camera setup and analysis tools into live broadcast workflows to its ZEN and ZEN-W series.
The update adds ARRI LogC3/C4, RED, and Sony S-Log false colour support across the ZEN Series (LV5600, LV7600, LV5350, LV7300) and ZEN-W Series (LV5600W, LV7600W) waveform monitors and rasterizers.
It also includes false colour presets and monitoring tools, widely used on film and television sets to evaluate exposure for Log-encoded images, providing vision engineers with a real-time method to match exposure and maintain consistency across mixed camera sources, said the company.
It enables engineers to switch between cinematic and conventional broadcast sources while keeping a consistent monitoring workflow from studio to OB truck, added Leader.
Koichi Fukagawa, manager of sales planning unit at Leader Electronics, said, “Live production is evolving fast as producers look to bring cinematic production to live events. With v8.2 we’re enabling vision engineers to deliver that creative intent consistently and confidently, from capture through to live broadcast output, using familiar, reliable tools built on Leader’s proven heritage in digital cinematography monitoring.”
