Leader LV5490 SD/HD/4K Picture and Signal Multi-Monitor

First exhibited at NAB 2013, the LV5490 now incorporates test-pattern generation, support for two-sample interleaved 4K image transmission and an HD-SDI output. New options include eye-pattern, jitter measurement and ITU-R BT2020 based chromaticity diagram.
With its new pattern generator function, the LV5490 will be able to generate 75% and 100% color bars, limit ramps, 10-step and variable raster.

Two-sample interleaved 4K image transmission is now supported in addition to the square division method. Neither methods have yet been established as an international standard but both are now available to the end user. Two-sample interleave is the method preferred by one of the broadcast industry's most influential camera manufacturers.

The additional HD-SDI output delivers 1080i/59.94 and supplements the LV5490's existing DVI-D output.

Leader's LV5490 multi-display picture and signal monitor supports all video production and transmission resolutions in common use from 525 and 625 standard definition up to 3840 x 2160 and 4096 x 2160 4K. Equipped with four 3G-SDI/HD-SDI/SD-SDI input channels plus a high-quality wide-viewing-angle 1920 x 1080 9 inch flat-panel display, it allows precise matching of studio or outside broadcast cameras. The LV5490 can be used in a very wide selection of test and measurement roles and also doubles as a picture monitor for production crews working on location.

Test and measurement capabilities include waveform, vector and picture monitoring, SDI signal data analysis, cyclic-redundancy-check error, embedded-audio error, event log, data dump and timing display.

The LV5490 allows waveform, vector and picture display to be viewed simultaneously on its 9 inch full 1920 x 1080 HD-resolution screen. Simultaneous display and overlay display of multiple SDI inputs are possible. Size and location of individual channel displays can be adjusted using a USB-connected pointing device.

4K images can be divided into upper left, upper right, lower left and lower right areas and output via as four-wire or two-wire 3G-SDI channels. The LV5490 also has a DVI and HD-SDI rasterizing monitor output.

Optional digital audio monitoring and analysis tools include 4 x 4 channels of SDI audio de-embedding, lissajous display, surround sound display, volumetric display and Dolby decode. De-embedded SDI audio can be output as 8 discrete AES3 feeds.

Features:

• 4K video format compliance (4096 x 2160 or 3840 x 2160)
• Accepts 3G/HD/SD SDI signals.
• 3G-SDI signal can be dual link or quad link for 4K.
• Built-In XGA IPS LED Backlit Display (1024 x 600) For Superb Picture Representations.
• Settable Color Temperature & User Settable Adjustments.
• In 3G-SDI (dual link) 4K video inputs, up to four systems can be displayed. In 3G-SDI quad link 4K video inputs, up to two systems can be displayed.
• Up to eight channels of SDI input signals available. Four are dedicated input connectors with cable length measurement capabilities, the other four can be configured as inputs or outputs.
• External monitor output and SDI router function.
• It can display two sets of HD-SDI dual link signals at the same time.
• Picture Display method can be by quadrants (square division) or by 2-sample interleave processing.
• Pattern generator function and SDI re-clocked output.
• Waveform, vector, picture can be displayed individually or in combination.
• CINELITE II included as standard.
• SDI signal data analysis function allows for cable length measurement, CRC error, embedded audio error, event log, data dump, timing display, etc.
• Audio Display function. De-embeds SDI audio signals and displays Lissajous, surround sound and meter displays. 16 channels of audio display are available from one SDI signal. When de-embeds four SDI signals simultaneously, four channels of audio can be de-embedded for each SDI signal.
• Digital Audio Output. The de-embedded audio of SDI signal can be output as digital audio. 16 channels of digital audio can be output from one SDI signal. When de-embeds four SDI signals simultaneously, four channels of digital audio can be output from each SDI signal.
• Frame Capture function.
• Screen Capture feature. The display can be captured and stored as an image data. The captured data can be displayed on the LV5490. It can also be saved as bitmap files to USB memory, which makes it possible to view the data on a PC.
• Timecode
• External remote connector.
• RJ-45 connector available.
• USB Mouse connector allows to operate the front panel.
