Instruments
will
introduce its LV 5480 SD/HD/3G
SDI 4K-upgradeable multi-format
waveform monitor to broadcasters
attending the 2016 NAB Show in Las
Vegas. Based on the established LV
5490, the LV 5480 includes waveform,
vector and picture monitoring, an
ancillary data viewer, data dump
and four-channel timing display. An
SDI status display looks for cyclicredundancy-check, TRS, ancillary data
and embedded-audio errors. It can be
upgraded at any time to a 4K monitor
with compliance for digital
cinema (4096 x 2160) or
broadcast UHD (3840 x 2160)
based on 3G dual link, 3G quad
link and HD quad link. Audio
monitoring and analysis tools
are available with the Digital
Audio option. These include 4
x 4 channels of SDI audio deembedding, Lissajous display,
surround-sound display and
volumetric display. Up to 16
channels of de-embedded SDI audio
can be viewed on screen and output
as discrete AES3 feeds. Available
options include eye pattern with jitter
measurements and Dolby decoding,
plus a CIE 1931/1976 colour space
chart, which can display BT.709, DCI
(P2) and BT.2020 (the 4K standard's
full ITU recommended colour space).
A 4K/HD pattern generator is also
available as an option, producing 75
and 100 per cent colour bars, luma
ramp and crosshatch patterns along
with 16 channels of embedded
audio. Also on demonstration at
NAB will be three new options
for both the LV 5490 and LV
5480: High Dynamic Range

technology.
Marquis Broadcast will launch
its Medway Monitoring system.
This provides the ability to monitor
multiple Medway systems from
anywhere with a live health check of
Avid and Medway workflows through a
web server allowing monitoring to take
place remotely. By providing transfer
and format conversion workflows
for video, audio, data and metadata,
Medway allows the exchange of media
and metadata between broadcast
systems in a fast, transparent and cost
effective way, enabling its users to
operate complete file-based workflow
in mixed format environments.

PlayBox Technology will introduce
at NAB its CloudAir platform which
enables new television channels,
including UHD, to be established
without the usual preliminary
investment in playout infrastructure.
CloudAir is claimed to allow a new
television channel to be set up in
matter of seconds. It can also be
deployed as the basis of a secure
disaster recovery system. Also
