Leader LV5600W ZEN-W Series Hybrid Waveform Monitor
Broadcast engineers recognize the importance of waveform monitors to the industry; they provide a visual representation of the components of a video signal, enabling the coordination and calibration of multiple cameras shooting simultaneously. Waveform Monitors help ensure that each camera produces the same results. The Leader LV5600W does just that and a whole lot more. Waveform Monitors are widely used in R&D applications and to assist with the installation of equipment in a television facility. They help diagnose and troubleshoot problems that arise in a broadcast studio and are integral to achieving FCC certification. Waveform Monitors help produce the clearest signal imaginable.

Leader LV7600W ZEN-W Series 1RU Hybrid Rasterizer
The rasterizer is another essential tool used in conjunction with Waveform Monitors. They receive the video signal as input in various formats, such as SDI, HDMI, or Analog, and then convert this input into a raster format -a grid-like structure used by displays to draw images. The Leader LV7600W essentially reconstructs the signal as a series of lines and dots and then feeds that raster data to a built-in screen or an external monitor. Once it's rendered as a waveform graph, it's analyzed, allowing users to quickly identify issues like clipping, crushing, or other distortions in the video signal.

Leader LT4670 Sync Generator with Genlock and Word Clock
We can't discuss Leader without mentioning their Sync Generators. Vital in video production, sync generators produce a central timing reference signal that is distributed throughout a facility. The central timing reference is then used to synchronize the timing of a video source signal. The user can then adjust the timing or alignment of the video frame, which synchronizes the various sources so that the start of the image occurs simultaneously on all the video equipment in the network. A slight oversimplification of the Leader LT4670 but it does just that. Additionally, there are production-friendly features like Genlock Function, Word Clock Signal Output, AES/EBU signal output, and Time Code; as you can see, you are more than covered.
