Leader's LVB440 analyzer gets more audio tools.

Advanced audio measurement tools, expanded error logging, and a guide to monitoring IP network performance are some of the new features landing on the LVB440 IP Analyzer. Leader.

He LVB440, 1 RU solution, provides production teams with the resources they need to perform real time checks of a large number of multimedia data streams in parallel and in multiple locations. The system, which provides high-precision, low-latency analysis of data streams Full SD, HD, UHD and 4K, supports data rates of 10, 25, 40, and 50 gigabits/s, expanding up to 100 gigabits/s via dual interfaces. Designed for use in IP environments, the LVB440 can be accessed locally or remotely by up to eight users at the same time via a standard HTML-5 web browser.

The system has recently been updated to include a expanded audio toolset through a newly formatted audio display to facilitate effective monitoring across a nearly unlimited number of transport streams. Thanks to this improvement, the LVB440 can access up to 64 canales and manage them in unique categories like monaural, stereo and immersive 7.1.4. Audio loudness is displayed in LUFS (Loudness Units Relative to Full Scale), the standard measurement format used for audio normalization in television broadcasting and professional media streaming. Likewise, complementary audio tools include the Dolby metadata display, a relative phase goniometer and indoor room metrics. Other system capabilities include the ability to select an isolation mode at any time to highlight single channel issues; the inclusion of quick audio controls to access mute or adjust the level of a signal, or a function to mix the immersive sound into stereo if necessary to facilitate monitoring of the actual audio content.

In parallel, error logging capabilities IP del LBV440 They have been expanded to capture and log up to 2,000 events in continuous rotation, providing a highly efficient baseline record of network activity before a QoS incident occurs. In addition, a new complementary information screen will offer LVB440 operators relevant details about each measurement. Dynamically updated to offer contextual guidance on signals or data that are being analyzed at all times, the system also integrates some hovercards Explanatory notes provide quick access to the meaning of the data displayed, as well as guidance on the analysis method used.

All these new features will be shown at the Leader stand in IBC 2023 (September 15 to 18).
