Leader Instruments Corporation has updated its range of broadcast-quality test and measurement solutions to provide support for JPEG XS (SMPTE ST 2110-22) compressed signals up to 4K.
The two options include LV5600-SER33 for the LV5600 waveform monitor and LV7600-SER33 for the LV7600 rasteriser.
The SER33 can perform JPEG XS stream parsing, decoding and encoding, compressed video signal and packet header analysis, packet error detection and comparative display of JPEG XS, SDP, and ST2110-40, the company said. The SER33 toolset also includes the ability to output JPEG XS compressed video test signals.
SER33 also allows production staff in a studio or on location to monitor and analyse the quality of incoming or outgoing JPEG XS signals using the test and measurement tools available within the LV5600 and LV7600. These checks can be performed during pre-transmission line-up and live production, said Leader. Decoded JPEG XS signal streams can be compared alongside uncompressed test sources using the multiscreen facilities common to both instruments.
JPEG XS is designed to provide visually lossless image quality with low infrastructure costs in applications such as broadcast-quality remote video production and real-time video storage.
