Leader LV5300A: Precision 12G-SDI Waveform Monitoring in a Compact Form-Factor
Unlock unparalleled precision and portability with the Leader LV5300A Waveform Monitor. Engineered for the demanding environments of broadcast, post-production, and field operations, the LV5300A delivers comprehensive 12G-SDI signal analysis without compromise. Its compact 3U half-rack, short-depth chassis houses a powerful suite of tools, making it the ideal solution for quality control and system verification where space and performance are both critical.
At the heart of the LV5300A is its ability to support a vast range of SDI signals, from legacy SD up to 12G, including 4K via dual-link 3G-SDI. Go beyond standard signal monitoring with integrated physical layer testing, including essential Eye Pattern and Jitter displays, to diagnose and troubleshoot cable integrity and signal quality issues right at the source. The bright, 7-inch full HD touchscreen provides an intuitive, modern interface, while the full array of dedicated buttons and control knobs ensures tactile, immediate access to critical functions, even in high-pressure situations.
The LV5300A is built for versatility. Customize your workspace by arranging waveform, vector, picture, and audio displays in any layout that suits your workflow. Monitor embedded audio with precision using level and Lissajous meters, and track system stability over time with detailed event logs. For fieldwork, the DC power input and optional battery mount free you from the constraints of AC power. Advanced features like comprehensive HDR analysis, with Nits-based level management, and a groundbreaking Focus Assist algorithm for crisp focus on low-contrast images, solidify the LV5300A as an indispensable tool for any video professional dedicated to delivering the highest quality content.

Customs policies vary widely from country to country; and when customs clearance procedures are required, it can cause delays beyond our original delivery estimates. We advise that you contact your local customs office for more information.
