The LV 5700A is a Multi SDI Monitor for HD/SD-SDI signals with an XGA TFT color LCD in an adjustable tilt front panel. The monitor 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 trilevel 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 monitoring 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. Remapping of the channel order allows users to 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 Ethernet round out the operating features. 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. HD/SD eye pattern analysis with automatic measurements is an option. DC operation is also available as an option.
