Leader Introduces LT8900 At NAB 2015

News Image
At this year's NAB show, Leader Instruments will be introducing a new addition to its range of test equipment, the LT8900 multiformat video and sync pulse generator.

Developed for testing broadcast systems and as a master timing reference, the instrument occupies a compact 1U and supports a selection of optional features that can be activated or upgraded locally or from a remote location.

The LT8900 can generate 1080/720 high-definition and 625/525-line standard-definition reference and test signals simultaneously. Independent timing control for all outputs is included. HD and tri-level sync formats are accommodated either within the base unit or by fitting the appropriate option board. HD test patterns are available in all recognised 1.485 gigabit/s standards or, with the optional 3G output board, in any of the extended 2.970 gigabit/s formats. Externally generated test patterns and logos can also be imported.

Available as a modular hardware option for the LT8900 is a plug-in GPS receiver module, which provides a method for accurately locking multiple units. GPS can also be used as a precise timing reference for the LT8900's linear timecode, vertical interval timecode and Network/Precision Time Protocol (NTP/PTP) outputs.

Remote status monitoring of critical functions is available via Serial Network Management Protocol (SNMP). Accurate GPS referencing is managed either via the receiver module or by locking to an external source of one pulse per second and NMEA serial data.

Incorporated in all models is the Vector remote configuration browser, allowing remote adjustment and monitoring of all system parameters.

Individual options available for the LT8900 include a reserve power supply module, full field test pattern software, linear timecode software, GPS receiver and software, GPS antenna and universal mount, unbalanced AES output card, tri-level sync module, NTP server support, SNMP support and 3G high-definition output card. Four pre-packaged versions of the instrument are offered with a combination of these options.

The LT8900 makes will be making its first exhibition appearance on the Leader Instruments stand, C9015, in the Central Hall.
