EMG, a globally active provider of broadcast services for sports and live events as well as studio-based production, has chosen Leader multiscreen rasterizerizing waveform monitors for integration into three new OB vehicles. 16 LV7300 rasterizers, supplied via Thameside.TV, will be used for master reference during live transmissions and related post-production.

By using the LYNX Technik yellobrik Fiber solutions, facilities can take advantage of fiber optic cabling to extend the reach of their signal over a greater distance – up to 40 Km / 24 miles for most applications, and even further when long-haul technology is used. In addition to transporting signals over longer distances, the yellobrik fiber solutions support very high data rates, high speed signal connection between locations, and yield a very low signal loss, ensuring clear and sharp signals.

For the first time, the Salrayworks NBot NDI Motorised head provides the flexibility and functionality of a PTZ camera to any compatible camera up to 3kg in weight. With power (PoE+) and NDI streaming through one ethernet cable, the NBot allows users to remotely control the camera zoom, focus and iris remotely through the LANC input whilst also using the NBot pan and tilt functions.

" 'The only constant in life is change' sounds like a phrase created to define the electronics industry," says Leader Electronics President Kozo Nagao summarizing highlights of the company's 2022 activity. "It is usually attributed to Greek philosopher Heraclitus who flourished 2,700 years ago. Leader is in that context comparatively young but has lived up to its name since its formation in the early 1950s. An ongoing change which largely defined 2022 in the broadcast media business was the accelerating adoption of IP-based system infrastructure. The main theme of our exhibit at the April 2022 NAB Show in Las Vegas was 'Making Your SDI/IP Transition Smooth'." Early in Q3, we announced major additions to the feature set of the Leader LVB440 IP Analyzer. These expand the analyzer's IP traffic and signal monitoring resources by adding signal generation tools plus the ability to monitor and analyze SR Live Metadata."

Leader Electronics announces an expansion to the feature set of its ZEN Series SDI/IP range of waveform monitors and rasterizers. As well as enhanced IP test and measurement capabilities, the newly introduced Version 6.5 software adds extra capabilities that SDI-based customers have been requesting. Among these are additions to the vectorscope toolset which is now equipped to display a color bar scale and an HDR transfer characteristic.

ITN Productions has purchased a Leader LV7600 12G-SDI rasterizing waveform monitor as the primary reference for a newly completed 4K DCI facility at ITN's Central London headquarters. The LV7600 was supplied and integrated by Leader Europe channel distribution partner Jigsaw24.

"Demand for programmes originated in 4K/DCI/HDR is steadily increasing, both for linear broadcasting and on-demand OTT viewing," says James Bennett, Head of Technical Operations, Post Production, at ITN Productions.

"The trigger for choosing Leader was the company's long-established and reputation for high quality test and measurement products. Jigsaw24 recommended the Leader LV7600 rasterizing waveform monitor for its precise and repeatable performance, versatile toolset and future-proof modularity. We have already used it to deliver our first programme and it has been crucial in getting episodes to specification and accepted through the OTT's QC process."

Bitcentral, the provider of award-winning efficient media workflows for broadcast and digital video, is furthering its long-term partnership with OCTOPUS Newsroom by making its leading newsroom production system (NRCS), Octopus 11, available to Bitcentral customers.
