Introducing the LeaderPhabrix LPX500: Multi-channel 4K Waveform Monitor with Dual-independent displays for Hybrid IP/SDI workflows

The LPX500 incorporates cutting-edge technology from both the Leader and PHABRIX Test & Measurement (T&M) brands. The LPX500 can be optioned to support 4x 12G-SDI and 2x 100GE-IP inputs. Its primary features include:

• Four fully independent analyzers, enabling the simultaneous display and monitoring of four IP/SDI, HD/UHD and/or SDR/HDR video source inputs
• Support for SD/HD/3G/6G/12G-SDI, 10G/25G/100G IP interfaces with SD/HD/UHD, SMPTE 2022-6, SMPTE ST 2110-10/20/20/31/40 with ST 2022-7, and AMWA NMOS
• A second 8-inch monitor provides an additional compact screen that optionally extends the unit’s display capabilities, with independent screen control
• The LPX500 hides the complexity of modern SDI/IP systems providing an uncluttered view of critical information. Its multiple instrument layouts provide a huge canvas with extended screen real estate enabling you to swipe smoothly between all of your key instruments
• Advanced SDI Physical Layer Analysis (Eye and Jitter) option
• An enhanced RGB vector display providing familiar camera shading tools to monitor gamut violations in production environments
• Optional software licenses for UHD/4K support, HDR, 25G IP, 100G IP, EUHD (47.95-60p RGB YCbCr 444 formats) and SDI/IP AV Test Signal Generation

The LPX500 delivers an extraordinary amount of functionality in a compact form-factor with short-depth, which makes it eminently suitable for locations with limited rack-space. As well as an in-built 8-inch touchscreen, an independent second compact 8-inch touchscreen is offered via a dedicated USB-C connection. Integrated noVNC means the LPX500 enables fast access to both displays over a remote network, while efficient cooling pathways and superior fan-speed control keep fan noise to a minimum and allow for adjustments to suit ambient temperature requirements in production environments.

Ease of use and access to information are also embedded deeply into the new waveform monitor. Enhanced screen layouts and gestural swipes mean that users can navigate smoothly between configured instrument displays, offering up to 16 simultaneous instrument layouts per display. A new RGB vector display instrument provides a tool to monitor gamut violations, whilst an extensive audio toolset includes 32 channels of audio metering and 5.1/2.0 Loudness measurement as standard.
