Leader Electronics showcasing instruments at SATIS

As a French-speaking trade event dedicated to creative and technological innovations serving the media, entertainment and audio-visual communication markets, SATIS offers industry professionals a “360-degree view” of the latest AV and media technologies, tools and services.

In keeping with its appearances at trade shows such as NAB and IBC during 2024, SATIS will find Leader Electronics showcasing some of its latest test & measurement (T&M) solutions on the booths of two leading regional broadcast systems suppliers. Collectively, the presentations will underline the ability of Leader and PHABRIX to cater to every stage of the manufacturing and broadcast production chain – from in-house video technology development to broadcast QC, on-set live production and post-production.

At TEVIOs' booth, which is a provider of premium broadcast and telecom solutions across France, Belgium and Luxembourg, three products will be on show:

• PHABRIX’s QxP portable waveform monitor, which offers 12G-SDI and 25G-IP monitoring in a fully portable, lightweight 3RU form factor. With its combined waveform monitor, generator and analyzer toolsets, and integral V-mount or Gold-mount battery plate, QxP is designed for all workflows whether SD, HD, UHD, EUHD, SDR, HDR, SDI or IP, conventional or remote production
• PHABRIX’s QxL 25G IP advanced rasterizer with support for generation and analysis of JT-NM TR 1001-1:2018, ST 2110-20 (video), up to four 2110-30 (PCM) and 2110-31 (AES3 transport) audio and a 2110-40 ANC media flow, all with 2022-7 Seamless IP Protection Switching (SIPS) and AMWA NMOS IS-04 discovery and IS-05 device connection management
• Two of PHABRIX’s leading handheld instruments, including the SxE, which offers generation, analysis and monitoring toolsets with advanced Physical Layer Analysis – making it ideal for SMPTE compliance evaluation. Also on show will be the Sx TAG, which is an ideal line-checking tool for ST 2110 and ST 2022-6 streams; accordingly, it includes support for SMPTE ST 2110-20/30/40 encapsulation/decapsulation with ST 2059 PTP, SDP and NMOS, as well as SMPTE ST 2022-6 encapsulation/ decapsulation

Elsewhere on the show floor, Audiopole – a distributor of audio products for TV and radio – will exhibit two other products from the Leader Electronics portfolio:

• The Leader LV7600 rasterizer compatible with 4K/HD/SD-SDI signals and UHDTV-HD/SD IP signals. This ‘True-Hybrid’ solution offers the same functions as the popular LV5600W in a 1RU, full-rack enclosure and supports a variety of SDI signals, up to 12G-SDI, as well as video-over-IP
• The Leader LT4670 1U full-rack width ‘True Hybrid’ SDI/IP synchronous test generator. Its standard toolset includes Genlocked black burst signals, tri-level sync pulse generation, and dual PTP generation, a stay-in-sync function for use in the event of an error in the incoming genlock signal, slow-lock stabilisation when returning to genlock from stay-in-sync, 48 kHz word-clock signal output synchronized to incoming video; plus synchronous control between devices (L-SYNC)

“SATIS remains a hugely important point of engagement with the French-speaking world, which has represented a key market for us for many years," said Martin Mulligan, COO, Leader Electronics. "Thanks to our excellent ongoing collaboration with two regional distributor/suppliers, TEVIOS and Audiopole, SATIS visitors will have the chance to find out more about our latest and most popular T&M solutions suitable for a time in which SDI, IP and hybrid environments are all commonplace – and requiring of the flexibility and functionality provided by our PHABRIX and Leader products.”
