Whether you’re interested in remote production, broadcast QC, post-production and color, hybrid SDI and IP, completely IP products, NDI, or cloud monitoring, this Q&A session will answer top questions on these topics and more from NAB 2025 and explore the game-changing innovations from the show floor. 

On this webinar, Steve Holmes and Kevin Salvidge of Leader fill you in on the latest test and measurement equipment that will ensure you can step into the future with ease and reliability. 

The new LeaderPhabrix LPX500 waveform monitor will give you a clear 4-in-1 view of your SDI and IP systems – even 4 simultaneous 4K channels. A powerful 4-input monitor with both 100G-IP and 12G-SDI toolsets, touchscreen with up to 16 views per screen, and many more features you won’t find on any other product out there.

The new NDI Checker software solution will make it far easier to keep tabs on your NDI sources and networking. Designed for live video workflows, it will allow you to monitor NDI in real time. And you'll be able to view it through any browser. (NDI® is a registered trademark of Vizrt.)

About Leader:

Leader has earned a worldwide reputation for designing and manufacturing highly accurate, practical, and powerful test & measurement instruments. Made for broadcast, production, post-production, research, product development, and service applications, Leader products are built for reliability and versatility. Leader has helped many customers manage their transition from analog to digital, from SD to HD, from HD to 4K/UHD, from SDR to HDR, and from BT.709 to BT.2020 wide color gamut. Leader also provides SMPTE ST2022-7 and ST2110 support for the transition from SDI to IP. Find out more at https://leaderphabrix.com/.

If you've worked with NMOS, you know that AMWA's Networked Media Open Specifications (NMOS) make it possible to control IP networks in much the same way you're used to in SDI, such as router control panels and keeping track of video sources and receivers in the network.

That said, you've also likely faced some of the challenges that can come up with SDP files within NMOS, such as getting all the receivers and transmitters to register themselves into the registry server and making that data available to the external control system so you can use your existing panels and equipment.

Likewise, what do you do when you push Source, Destination, Take and nothing happens? How do you make sure that the SDP file is valid, formatted correctly and not malformed?

Watch this session to find out:

Why do you need NMOS and how can you apply it within your 2110 workflows?
How can you spot and prevent common NMOS/SDP problems?
What are the basics you need to know about NMOS? 
How to use analysis tools that will help you in monitoring NMOS?
What do you need to know when it comes to NMOS troubleshooting and error reporting?

Join Steve Holmes and Kevin Salvidge as they give a pre-show preview of some new and exciting product launches at NAB2025, as well as some very significant updates to the Leader | PHABRIX product ranges at the show.

SMPTE ST 2110 has become the common abbreviation for the whole Professional Media Over IP Networks transition that the broadcast industry is currently undergoing. But ST 2110 isn’t a single standard. It’s a suite of standards, that individually address the timing, video, audio and ancillary data streams that make up a complete program stream.
 
Whether you are new to ST 2110 or deeply involved in operating a 2110 broadcast system, this live webinar will prove invaluable. Steve Holmes and Kevin Salvidge will discuss the fundamental principles of SMPTE ST 2110 and the unrivalled analysis tools that the Leader and PHABRIX product ranges have for assisting you in monitoring and identifying issues in your 2110 broadcast infrastructures.

Join Steve Holmes and Kevin Salvidge as they discuss the basics of NMOS, why it's useful and how you can monitor and identify NMOS/SDP issues in your ST 2110 infrastructure using unrivalled analysis tools to prevent common problems.

Gerard Phillips (Arista), Steve Holmes and Kevin Salvidge (Leader) take your PTP questions in this latest PTP seminar

You’ve heard about whether PTP and Blackburst really make a perfect pair, as well as the common pitfalls to avoid when setting up a PTP system, and now we’re back to talk more about one of your favorite subjects. 

Once again, we’re bringing you one of the world’s foremost experts on PTP in broadcasting, Gerard Phillips from Arista Networks.

For years broadcaster engineers have designed their facilities and used Blackburst as their tried and trusted reference signal. Then along came IP and the introduction of Media-over-IP and a new reference signal, Precision Time Protocol (PTP).

Now, most facilities are having to gradually migrate from SDI to IP and like the culture clash between traditional broadcast engineers and the new breed of IP broadcast engineers, both BB and PTP have to co-exsist, if the migration from SDI to  be seamless and pain-free.

At Leader we have 70 years experience of helping our customers manage technology transitions, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that we have been working on a product that combines both the traditional BB/TLS, Audio reference signals and SDI test pattern signals, as well as PTP and IP test patterns in a single product.

Join Steve and Kevin as they discuss the new Leader LT4670 Hybrid IP and SDI Sync Pulse Generator and how the customer challenges they have heard from early IP adopters have been overcome with the new LT4670.

So, irrespective of whether you have an operation SMPTE 2110 facility, or you are making your first tentative steps on your IP migration journey, Steve and Kevin will have something of interest for you.

Whether you missed NAB 2024 this year, you spent plenty of time at the Leader and PHABRIX booth, or somewhere in between – this quick and lively discussion is a great chance to get your burning questions answered.

If you're like many of us broadcasters working in live IP productions who have shied away from using compressed video formats for acquisition due to concerns about latency and picture quality, you'll want to check out this podcast: JPEG XS: New Kid on the ST 2110 Block – But is it the Right Stuff? 

Steve Holmes, Kevin Salvidge from Leader, and guest expert Kevin Hein from Grass Valley will dive into the JPEG XS – a lightweight, visually lossless, and ultra-low-latency compression format, ideal for IP live productions in either a LAN, WAN or Cloud environment.  

You'll  discover:

• How JPEG XS is ideal for IP live productions in LAN, WAN, or cloud environments
• Why we've reached an inflection point due to increased data rates using IP
• What makes the deployment of centralized remote production facilities now a realistic possibility
• Options you can use to easily deploy JPEG XS within your existing workflow
•

Here’s what you’ll discover:

• How you can get consistent exposure levels across the screen (and why it’s so important)
• Why David can’t live without a waveform monitor on set
• A clever way to see where the deficiencies in color are
• What to do about the challenges of lighting when you’re using video arrays
