Leader's LV5600 waveform monitor helps Mediaset operate in UHD over IP

Mediaset Italy you have chosen waveform monitors Leader ZEN Series LV5600 for integration into two fully interconnected mobile units with IP and also for some control and studio applications.

The eleven units of LV5600 of Leader, a waveform monitor SDI/IP mains-powered in a 3U half-rack desktop chassis with a front touch screen, have been supplied by Leader's Italian distribution partner, Communication Video Engineering (CVE). These solutions, prepared to offer all the necessary facilities to monitor signals UHD/HD/SD SDI and Video over IP in a hybrid operating environment, they will help the company achieve its goal of deploying an all-IP infrastructure for the transmission of signals between our various studios, fixed and mobile facilities. As he comments Mauro Cassanmagnago, director of Mediaset's production and broadcast technologies department, this will allow “uncompressed baseband signals up to UHD to be made available to all relevant personnel, without having to separately route audio, video, data and intercom signals.” ”.

Waveform Monitors Leader LV5600 They allow a very wide range of signal measurements to be carried out quickly and accurately. Their small size and easy front panel control mean they can be adapted for both stand-alone and integrated use. Luca Catalano, CEO of CVE, provides more details of the solutions of Leader: “The ability to handle IP and SDI in a single test environment is especially useful for today's largely hybrid media production world and is augmented by the ability to configure the LV5600's display screen to facilitate comparison of multiple signal sources or multiple test parameters”

The instruments requested by Mediaset cover three configurations: the 10 gigabit/s IP interface LV5600-SER05, the HDR software license LV5600-SER23 and 4K/UHD software license LV5600-SER28. This versatility allows customers to specify what hardware and firmware features they need when they initially purchase waveform monitors, while retaining the ability to add new features or accommodate new file formats and transmission protocols.
