Gavin Struthers ASC Invests In Leader Monitors

News Image
Gavin Struthers ASC has invested in two Leader LV5333 multi SDI waveform and picture monitors.

Originally purchased for use on the US television series Black Sails, the monitors are now a permanent fixture of Struthers' production system.

After graduating from the National Film & Television School, Struthers became a documentary cameraman for the BBC before moving into drama and commercial cinematography, shooting on film and in high definition video. He was the Director of Photography on the BBC's first 3D HD broadcast.

Struthers said: "I first experienced the Leader LV5333 when working with DIT Steve Evans on Halo: Nightfall. The monitor was a huge help with the extensive day-for-night sequences in Iceland. It packs a lot of features into a very compact portable instrument. The LV5333 is very fast and easy to use which is vitally important whether you are shooting on location or in a studio. The integral CINELITE and CINEZONE modes are particularly useful. They assist me with very accurate control of relative exposure and overall luminance levels whilst ensuring that the resultant content conforms fully to broadcast standard signal parameters.

"In addition, the LV5333 can be used to perform all the classic real-time waveform and vectorscope test and measurements. It incorporates a high quality 6.5 inch display screen which works extremely well even in the brightest outdoor conditions. CINELITE and CINEZONE can each be viewed full screen or as one of four simultaneous test images. I frequently work with multiple cameras to give the director a choice of shooting angles. Using two LV5333 units gives me complete freedom of camera position."

The Leader LV5333 is a multi-SDI monitor designed for use in studios, technical areas or attached to a video camera-support tripod. The 6.5 inch XGA TFT LCD screen can also be used to display video signal waveform, vectorscope or the video image. CINELITE, CINEZONE, histogram, gamma display, gamut and level error display functions are included as standard.
