dock10 Invests in LV5600
for UHD/HDR Studios
F

ollowing
recent
investment
in Leader LV7600 UHD HDR
rasterisers for its UHD and HDR capable
grading and finishing areas, dock10
has purchased a Leader LV5600
SDI/IP waveform monitor as part of
ongoing technical development of
the production resources supporting
MediaCity UK in Salford.
The LV5600 was supplied by Leader
Europe UK channel partner Jigsaw24.
It will be integrated into dock10's
newly completed UHD HDR live
production system, checking incoming
camera feeds from multiple studio
cameras to ensure uniform alignment
and colour matching.
"Ultra high definition and high
dynamic range each have an important
role to play in the television industry
as it progresses to meet rising viewer
expectations,"
comments
John
O'Shaughnessy, Head of Technology
Operations at dock10. "The greater
quality made possible by originating
content in higher resolution and wider

illumination span opens up
many new opportunities for
content creators. It also
increases the long-term
value of their productions.
Leader's
LV5600
incorporates the tools our
operators and technicians
need to ensure the full
impact of UHD and HDR is
carried from the point of
capture in the studio front
end right through to each
viewer's display screen."
"Leader
is
clearly
established as the industry-preferred
test and measurement equipment
manufacturer for broadcast UHD
and HDR production, whether in
SDI or IP workflows, for terrestrial,
satellite, cable or OTT delivery," adds
Leader Europe Business Development
Manager Kevin Salvidge. "Our
Cinezone HDR display gives camera
crews the opportunity to monitor and
adjust HDR images and optimise UHD

Leader LV5600 waveform monitor

focus in real-time. Technicians have
fast access to practically every aspect
of the video and audio signal feed,
plus related data, including the ability
make side-by side comparison of two
or more sources on a single easily
configured touch screen. In its robust
portable case, the LV5600 is ideal
for use even in the most demanding
environments."

Leader's LV5600 is a mains-powered
SDI/IP waveform monitor in a half-rack
width 3U desktop chassis with a touchscreen front panel display.
It provides all the facilities needed
to monitor UHD/HD/SD-SDI as well as
video-over-IP signals seamlessly
in a hybrid operating
environment.
Engineering
related
features
include
test
pattern generation, eye
pattern display, closed
caption monitoring, CIE
colour chart, high dynamic
range measurement, focus
assist, customisable screen
layout, tally interface,
4K/UHD operation, 10G
IP input and 12G-SDI
interfaces. SMPTE 20226, SMPTE 2022-7 and SMPTE 2110
protocols are all supported. The
LV5600 also incorporates Leader's
intuitive Cinezone and Cinelite
which are familiar to many content
production staff.
The LV7600 rasterising waveform
monitor offers the same capabilities as
the LV5600 but in a low-profile 19-inch
1U form-factor for easy rack or desk
mounting.
