Introducing the LPX500 Waveform Monitor

The LPX500 Hybrid IP/SDI waveform monitor is the first in a powerful new family of video analysis and generation instruments, encompassing next generation technology from the renowned Leader and PHABRIX Test and Measurement brands. The LPX500 offers a bank of four autonomous analyzers, enabling the simultaneous display of four 4K SDI or IP video source inputs.

A second, compact screen unit can now optionally extend the unit’s local display capabilities, allowing you to control the unit from either physical screen. The second screen is also touch-enabled and supports the same gestures as the primary screen on the main unit. Connection to the second display is over a dedicated USB-C connector. Further remote screen output combinations are also available to output either screen, from either the DisplayPort or SDI Mon BNC display outputs. In addition, dual built-in VNC clients considerably improve the performance of the remote connection to either display over noVNC.

Following the innovative app style interface of PHABRIX instruments, the LPX500 hides the complexity of modern SDI and IP systems  providing an uncluttered view of critical information. The enhanced layouts designed for the LPX500 not only extend the available screen real estate but now feature swipe gestures to navigate left or right through configured layouts and precise tap, hold and slide for instrument placement. Multiple screen layouts provide a huge canvas of extended screen real estate enabling you to move smoothly between instrument layouts, optimizing the viewing and touch experience on the unit.

KEY FEATURES

A completely re-designed, compact form factor for modern workflows

Housed in a fully re-designed and compact form factor, the LPX500 offers an 8-inch touchscreen and short depth, ideal for locations with limited rack space, including OB trucks. An independent second compact 8-inch touchscreen display is also offered via a dedicated USB-C connection. Using its built-in noVNC, the LPX500 also offers fast access to both displays over a remote network.

Supports Quad 12G-SDI and dual 100GE-IP inputs

Supplying a bank of four autonomous analyzers, the LPX500 enables the simultaneous display of four 4K inputs, HDR and SDR inputs or even SDI and IP inputs. The instrument offers a 10G-IP toolset with dual SDI analyzer support as standard, and advanced Physical Layer Analysis (Eye and Jitter) offered as factory fitted options. The LPX500’s comprehensive feature-set is designed to support SD/HD/3G/6G/12G-SDI, 10GE/25GE/100GE IP interfaces with SD/HD/UHD, SMPTE 2022-6, SMPTE ST 2110-10/20/30/31/40 with ST 2022-7, and AMWA NMOS. Optional software licenses can also be added for SDI/IP AV Test Signal Generation, UHD/4K support, HDR, EUHD (47.95-60p RGB YCbCr 444 formats), 25GE and 100GE IP support.

Up to 100G-IP/12G-SDI Audio & Video Generation and Analysis

Generate and analyze a comprehensive set of SDR/HDR, YCbCr/RGB, HD/3G/6G/12G SDI and HD/3G/6G/UHD/EUHD IP Formats. The LPX500 can simultaneously generate and analyze 1x ST 2110-20 video, 4x ST 2110-30/31 audio and 1x ST 2110-40 ANC. In ST 2022-7 mode, LPX500 compares the video, audio and ANC flows from A & B networks. LPX500 can also generate the instrument display as 1 x ST 2110-20 and 1 x 2110-30 flows for access by remote monitoring locations. The SDI pattern-set offers up to 32 channels of embedded audio per link or subfield (up to 64 channels on 12G interfaces) and core full screen SDI Pathological stress patterns as well as allowing the user to define conventional generator patterns up to full frame.

Powerful enhanced instrument layouts

Enhanced layouts not only extend the available screen real estate but now feature swipe gestures to navigate through configured layouts. Multiple screen layouts provide a huge canvas of extended screen real estate to move smoothly between up to 16 layouts, optimizing the viewing and touch experience on the unit.

Out-of-the-box Video and Audio Analysis & Monitoring Toolset

A brand new RGB Vector Display instrument provides a tool to monitor gamut violations in production environments . Picture view, waveform monitor, vectorscope, 32 channel audio metering, decoded audio channel status information, ANC status and payload, on screen display of OP47 and CEA-608 in 708 closed captions and Ancillary Time Code (ATC), Loudness monitoring, and advanced control and logging with human readable event logs are all provided as standard.

Advanced suite of IP Monitoring Tools

IP media interfaces are provided as standard in the LPX500. This 10G/25G/100G IP enabled waveform monitor supports JT-NM TR 1001-1:2018, 2110-20 (video), 2110-30 n(PCM audio), 2110-31 (AES transport), and 2110-40 ANC media flows all with 2022-7 Seamless Protection Switching, and independent PTP followers on both media ports for fully-redundant media network operation.

Fast, automated 12G-SDI Physical Layer Analysis

The Physical Layer Toolset is a factory-fitted option for fast 12G/6G/3G/HD/SD-SDI physical layer commissioning, testing and development. Its RTE™ (Real-Time Eye) Technology instantly highlights any SMPTE compliance issues and its realtime SDI jitter window provides simultaneous monitoring across five specified frequency bands, With its unique RTE™ (Real-Time Eye) multi-rate physical layer display, and automated SMPTE compliance measurements, the LPX500 offers a single product solution for SDI compliance verification.
