The Leader LV 5100DE is a hard-to-find, professional-grade video measurement monitor that bridges the gap between analog and digital broadcast environments — and it's exactly the kind of reliable, discontinued unit that Southern Advantage specializes in bringing back to you in top-notch condition.

Whether your facility runs component digital, component analog, or a mix of both, the LV 5100DE handles it all. It accepts two passive SDI serial digital input channels conforming to ITU-R 656-1 and SMPTE 259M at 270 Mb/sec, along with a three-channel YUV/GBR analog component input for RGB and Y Pb Pr signals. An active loop-through output allows onward transmission of either input, keeping your signal chain intact.

What sets the LV 5100DE apart from its sibling, the LV 5100D, is the addition of the Eye Pattern display. Using an equivalent-time sampling technique, it analyzes the SDI data stream for amplitude, phase, frequency, and jitter — giving you a clear picture of your digital signal's health and how close you are to the dreaded cliff edge. The built-in equivalent cable length measurement function makes that assessment intuitive and fast.

For day-to-day monitoring, the unit delivers comprehensive waveform, vectorscope, timing, and picture monitoring via a 150mm high-intensity P4-phosphor CRT. The Digital key opens a three-page status display covering ANC data, embedded audio presence, EDH error detection, and TRS/SAV/EAV status. Digital signals can be monitored in either GBR or YCbCr form, and an X-Y display handles stereo audio monitoring.

Menu-driven controls give you access to local calibration, SAV/EAV show/blank in both waveform and picture, line select with an adjustable window, flexible cursor measurements, and memory storage of test setups with on-screen labels. The unit switches automatically between 525/60 (NTSC) and 625/50 (PAL) operation.
