FEATURES
Multi-SDI Monitor
Equipped with an XGA color LCD in an adjustable tilt front panel, the LV-5700A
tests 14 HD-SDI and SD-SDI formats with total digital processing compliant to
SMPTE 259M, SMPTE 292M and SMPTE 296M. Input format, colorimetry and
tri-level or black burst external reference inputs are automatically detected.
Extensive monitoring functions include waveform (YCbCr, YRGB, YGBR, RGB or
GBR), vector (75% or 100% graticules), picture and surround sound monitor-
ing modes. The first SDI module accepts two SDI inputs switchable from the
front panel providing buffered SDI output(s) of the selected feed. Parade,
overlay and timing modes facilitate characterization of component waveform
levels and timing. Freeze mode allows comparisons of different SDI input signals. Multi-display operating modes include a
thumbnail picture display.
Digital audio from HD/SD groups (1 & 2) or (3 & 4) are disembedded and output as four pairs of AES/EBU. Digital audio is
also displayed as 3:1, 3:2, or 3:2:2 surround images, multi-lissajous and 8-Ch bargraphs. The peak bargraphs have selectable
dynamic ranges as well as average ballistics. Users can also create custom displays. High Resolution decoded pix-monitor
outputs may be set to feed monitor requirements as either YPbPr or GBR. Digital line-select, precision digital cursors, menu
control of storage of 100 front-panel setups, flash card, USB and Ether
net round out the operating features.
CINELITE OPTION
Offering additional measurement functionality on the 5800/5700A and LV5750, the CINELITE
option provides on picture measurements of video levels in both pecentage and f-stop readings,
bridging the gap between film and HD production professionals. With CINELITE operators can
now review and evaluate their set, after the camera has processed the image. Point a cursor to
any position on the picture to get instant measurements in f-stops (or percentage) and review
the material that actually being recorded. Final adjustments of lighting conditions, filtering and
iris adjustments can be made using familiar “f-stop” based evaluation techniques.
The resulting measurement is digitally accurate and represents the material as it is actually
recorded. This ensures scientifically accurate communication with the post-production and color
correction process while enhancing the understanding of film and video experts alike.
CINELITE f-stop measurements allow DPs and cinematographers to evaluate their HD or SD
production using the same measurement techniques that have produced excellence with film
over decades. Essentially, the CINELITE option allows HD production professionals to evaluate
their lighting and exposure in real time and helps create a set evaluation and exposure
determination workflow environment similar to working with film.
◆ Inputs can accept either HD-SDI signals or
SD-SDI signals. Supports multiformat, auto-
matic and manual setting of input formats.
◆ Provides HD-SDI/SD-SDI switching with a
reclocked output as well as analog picture
monitor output and AES/EBU outputs. In
addition, an analog XGA output connector
is provided enabling information to be
displayed on a large external monitor.
◆ Waveform, vector, picture, embedded audio,
and status display can be placed side by side
or in quad display on the monitor. Depending
on the selected combination, bowtie, data
dump and optional AES/EBU digital audio or
eye pattern can also be displayed. Pseudo
waveform and vectorscope modes represent
NTSC or PAL modes. Waveform and vector
screens have user selectable graticule colors.
◆ The LV 5700A can be controlled through the
panel and remotely controlled through a
computer via the Ethernet network. In addi-
tion, 100 custom presets can be backed up
to CompactFlash cards and recalled from the
front panel or via rear remote connectors.
◆ The LV 5700A can be used as an analyzer to
detect and log multiple types of digital
protocol transmission errors. Screens show
gamut errors, data dumps, EDH codes,
analysis of voice control packets, equivalent
cable length and cable warning measure-
ments, and so on. Frame capture of any
screen allows email of bmp files or logs for
verification of errors.
◆ The HD/SD status screens list detection of
input format, TRS, CRC checks for chroma
and luma, video, audio ID, ancillary parity
and check sum errors. User adjustable alarm
error thresholds are provided for digital
component level ranges. Ethernet allows full
remote control operation and monitoring of
operating conditions including alarms.
◆ The standard AC power supply allows for
universal (90 V to 250 V) operation. Optional
12v DC power supply is available.
