has announced with Leader Electronics that MACOM's 12G-SDI solutions have been selected for the LV5600 2nd Generation 4K
Waveform Monitor, the company said.
The LV5490 4K/UHD HDR
waveform monitor supports pre-configured settings to ensure the reference levels are correct for both PQ and HLG production.
Leader's LV5600 is a mains-powered SDI/IP
waveform monitor in a half-rack width 3U desktop chassis with a touch-screen front panel display.
Leader will also introduce a new 4K-IP-compatible option for the LV5600
waveform monitor and additional options for the LV5600 and LV7600.
Particularly for 4K/UHD HDR content, Wheable explains, T&M solutions must be able to provide a picture monitor highlighting 4K/UHD HDR content, a
waveform monitor with nit graticules and display modes for hybrid log gamma (HLG) and perceptual quantiser (PQ) content.
Steve Hullfish, author of "The Art and Technique of Digital Color Correction" presented on the creative use of external
waveform monitors when color grading in conjunction with vectorscopes.
It is also equipped with a built-in
waveform monitor and Vectorscope, as well as five-function buttons that assure quick access to value-added features such as pixel-to-pixel display, cross hatch, split screen, audio-level meters, time frame and closed caption (from video) displays.
With a simplistic design and rich in functionality, the new monitor also adds AC/DC operations, a convenient control panel with luminous and assignable buttons, a camera focus function, a
waveform monitor, eight-channel audio-level meter, a variety of marker settings, and native scanning capabilities.
