• Formats: 12G/6G/3G/HD-SDI single link; 6G-SDI dual link; 3G-SDI dual link and quad link; HD-SDI quad link; 12G-SDI dual link and quad link(8K); 8K Square Division (4 x 4K)
• Dedicated buttons and knobs for simple operation (optional control with USB mouse)
• 9-inch full HD panel with touch operation
• Waveform, vector, picture, and eye pattern display allows for the measurement and quality control of various video signals
• View various error statuses and check on system stability by viewing event logs and long-term charts

The LV5900A waveform monitor supports SMPTE ST 2082-12, which is used to receive 7680(8192)x4320 / 59.94P YCBCR10bit 8K video via 12G-SDI QUAD LINK. As the LV5900A supports not only 8K but also a 4k input and four simultaneous HD inputs, you can use it as a high-end 8K monitor and switch between other formats as needed.

The waveform, vector, picture, and eye pattern displays enable easy measurement and quality control of video signals. The status display allows you to confirm system stability with comprehensive event logs and long-term charts.

Superb Operability

The LV5900A is designed to give top priority to operability. A 9- inch full HD LCD panel features wide viewing angles and excellent color reproducibility. This model can also be used as a high-grade HD picture monitor. In addition, a touch-panel external monitor connected through a USB interface enables intuitive operations and settings through touch operation.

2K/4K/8K Video Formats

Video format support includes SDI signals ranging from 8K video with quad link of 12G-SDI, 4K video over single link 12G-SDI, dual-link of 6G-SDI, quad link of 3G-SDI and quad link of HD-SDI, in addition to single link HD-SDI and 3G-SDI.

Transmission Quality Analysis Function

The LV5900A has a feature of enhanced ancillary data analysis functions which includes sync measurement, SDI signal frequency deviation measurement, and equivalent cable length measurement.

In the case of 12G-SDI, two 4K inputs can be displayed simultaneously.

Video Analysis Function

For various video signals; quality of experience (QoE) measurement of video signals, such as detection of freeze errors, black errors, and gamut errors, in addition to varieties of displays, including the video signal waveform display, vector display, picture display, 5- BAR display and CIE Chromaticity Diagram, are standard features. Errors detected can be recorded as event logs.

Audio Analysis Function

For audio signals, the level meter display, Lissajous waveform display, surround display (not supported for 8K), and loudness display is possible for SDI signals with embedded audio and MADI audio signals externally entered. The signals can also be muted, and clip error detection is possible. Errors detected can be recorded as event logs.

The eye-pattern display and jitter display is possible for SDI signals covering from HD-SDI to 12G-SDI. For the measured values, automatic measurement is possible in addition to measurement with a cursor. Furthermore, the histogram can be superimposed on the eye-pattern display for display.

The decode display is possible of Japanese subtitles superimposed onto SDI signals, CEA-608 or CEA-708 closed captions, teletexts, and OP47 subtitles.

Phase differences and synchronization status of all SDI video signals can be checked graphically against external reference synchronizing signals (black burst, tri-level sync signal).

Various video signal waveforms, vector displays, and pictures of input video signals can be laid out in any of the required positions in the preferred sizes. Multiple input signals of up to four inputs can be displayed simultaneously, and one single input signal can be displayed in multiple windows.

SDI Signal Generating Function

SDI signals covering HD-SDI to 12G-SDI are supported, and 4K video format of Quad Link 3G-SDI and 8K video format of Quad Link 12G-SDI are also supported. Patterns can be output in the form of an HD multi-format color bar, 4K multi-format color bar, HDR color bar, etc.

Monitor output connectors

The SDI OUTPUT connector and TMDS OUTPUT connector transmit the instrument’s screen to a full high definition (1920×1080) display for monitoring purposes.

Capture Feature

A screen capture feature, which captures the entire display as still-image data, is available. Not only captured data can be displayed on the instrument, but it can also be compared with an input signal or saved to a USB memory device as bitmap data for viewing on a PC.

A frame capture feature (4K 2-screen display is not supported; only FRM format is supported for 8K) is also available. Frames, including the blanking interval, can be captured. You can set the frame capture function mode to manual or auto, which captures frames when errors occur.

The frame capture data can be viewed and searched through on a PC using a frame capture viewer.

Time Code Display

The timecodes embedded in SDI signals can be displayed. The timecode can also be used as the timestamp in the event log.

External Remote Connector

A contact terminal can be used to load presets, switch the input signal, and transmit alarms.

Ethernet Port

The following features become available when you connect the instrument to a PC: remote control through TELNET, file transfer through FTP, remote control and alarm generation through SNMP, remote control from a Web browser through HTTP, and internal clock synchronization through SNTP. Using the LV7290 REMOTE CONTROLLER (sold separately) allows up to eight LV5900As to be remote-controlled.

Level monitoring of HDR signals supporting S-Log3, C-Log and Log-C in addition to HLG and PQ that are specified in ITU-R BT.2100, and the level management at assumed luminance (Nits)on the display wherein OOTF is taken into consideration are possible.

Development of a new focus detection algorithm in which the non-linear super-resolution technology is applied to sensitively enable focusing of low-contrast images that had been hardly detected.

RS-422/485 Connector

For serial communication, you can select the Leader’s standard protocol or TSL protocol. When using the Leader’s standard protocol, you can remotely recall presets, switch the display channel, and display the camera ID, iris, and tally by using serial communication.

When using the TSL protocol, you can control the camera ID (LABEL-1) and tally(TALLY-1, TALLY-2) displays.
