Remember back in the good old days of SDI when every signal had a clear path and you could patch anything through a jackfield to see exactly what was on it? SDI wasn’t perfect, but that kind of visibility had its advantages compared to the complexity of IP.But now, you can reclaim the capability to view any IP stream, on any port, on any network switch, anywhere in your facility, thanks to IP JackfieldTM developed by Arista and Providius. And even better, you can have access to all of the analysis tools you’re familiar with from your PHABRIX QxL and QxP available to analyze any stream within your Providius GUI. On this webinar, you’ll hear from Leader experts Kevin Salvidge and Steve Holmes as they speak with Ryan Morris of Arista Networks and Tony Zare of Providius as they answer questions from the audience, including: —How does this integration bridge the gap between SDI and IP?—What about NMOS? And health and monitoring capabilities? —Is there a limit to the number of streams that can be monitored with IP Jackfield at one time?—Can I maintain network integrity while diagnostics are performed?—How do you track and measure latency and jitter that is added?You’ll also get to see a demo of IP Jackfield, including how you can monitor, trace, and troubleshoot any stream using the PHABRIX QxL or QxP within the Providius GUI.You can find out more by visiting https://leaderphabrix.com/.About Leader:Leader has earned a worldwide reputation for designing and manufacturing highly accurate, practical, and powerful test & measurement instruments.

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.Leader and PHABRIX design and manufacture the best broadcast test and measurement gear, with a full range of portable and rackmount systems for rapid fault diagnosis, compliance monitoring, and product development.

Gerard Phillips (Arista), Steve Holmes and Kevin Salvidge (Leader) take your PTP questions in this latest PTP seminarYou’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.Watch the video replay of this seminar on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVZrdQk6IK0Leader Electronics and PHABRIX Ltd. manufacture innovative test and measurement equipment used for TV and film production and broadcasting around the world.
