Higher Bandwidth, Tighter Margins
4K/UHD has led to a proliferation of new standards and formats, with delivery using quad-link 3G, dual link 6G or single link 12G signals. These higher bandwidth signals are more challenging to manage, and physical layer testing (Eye and Jitter) at facilities is especially important in view of the greater cable length sensitivity and unforgiving nature of these high-speed interfaces. As 12G-SDI continues to gather momentum for UHD applications, and many customers face a choice between SDI and IP infrastructure, there is a real need for informed and pragmatic decision making influenced by business values.
To address this requirement, Leader has developed a class-leading suite of SDI analysis and stress tools that extend all the way up to UHD 12 Gbit/s that are available as an option for the Qx. Until now it has not been possible to thoroughly evaluate the behavior and performance of 6 and 12 Gbit/s SDI interfaces.
Eye & Jitter Analysis
Physical layer measurements for 6G and 12G-SDI, where cable length margins are tight.
SDI Stress Testing
Stress tools up to 12 Gbit/s to evaluate the behavior of 6G and 12G-SDI interfaces.
Quad, Dual and Single Link
Analysis of quad-link 3G, dual-link 6G and single-link 12G 4K/UHD formats.
SDI and IP
Hybrid instruments for facilities choosing between SDI and IP infrastructure.
