Leader's LV5600 waveform monitor and LV7600 rasterizer running Version 6.5 software have both successfully participated in the recent JT-NM Tested Program which continues to give broadcasters insight into how vendor equipment conforms to specific SMPTE standards, AMWA NMOS specifications and selected real-world test and measurement scenarios.

The LV7300 offers similar features to the LV5300 and LV5350 in a 1U half-rack width rasterizer. for use with external monitors: Video display formats supported include 1080i and 1080p high definition, 4K DCI, UHD, standard dynamic range, high dynamic range and wide color gamut.
Flagship of the Leader ZEN Series is the LV5600, a mains-powered SDI/IP waveform monitor in a half-rack width 3U desktop chassis with a touchscreen front panel display. It provides all the facilities needed to monitor UHD/HD/SD SDI as well as video-over-IP signals seamlessly in a hybrid operating environment.
