Leader Instruments has chosen BVE 2013 in London for the UK launch of three additions to its range of test instruments. Leader’s LV5307 is a compact seven-inch monitor/rasteriser with internal cross-conversion from 3G-SDI, HD-SDI and SD-SDI to HDMI and vice versa. The HDMI output can be used as a rasterizer, delivering screen content to an external monitor. Selectable waveform, vector and false-colour test screens can be inset over SDI and HDMI sources. Picture modes include markers, monochrome, blue-only, red–only and green-only, plus cross-pulse. Leader’s LV5837 allows fast and precise checking of audio signals and levels in sound recording studios, television studios, post production houses or broadcast presentation and playout facilities. It accepts up to eight AES/EBU stereo digital audio feeds at 32 to 192 kilohertz sampling frequencies. Measurement capabilities include audio level metering in dBFS, Nordic, BBC and DIN scales. Up to 16 audio channel bargraphs can be viewed simultaneously on the instrument’s 6.3 inch TFT LCD colour screen. The LV5980 SDI waveform and video monitor is designed for easy operation during live production, post production and in technical support. Up to four SDI signals to be viewed simultaneously on its integral 17-inch TFT screen for rapid comparison of gain and black balance values from multiple cameras. Display capabilities include video signal waveform, vector and picture. A distinct waveform colour can be assigned to each input channel.A11
