Two Leader LV5700A multistandard HD/SD waveform monitors and five LV5750 ultra-compact instruments have been installed in the unit.

WIGE Television has ordered seven Leader digital signal analyzers for its new 16-camera HDTV outside broadcast vehicle, HD1. The company is a subsidiary of WIGE Media, a European specialist in live sports broadcasting.

Two Leader LV5700A multistandard HD/SD waveform monitors and five LV5750 ultra-compact instruments have been installed in the unit.

The LV5700A and LV5750 give WIGE the option of supporting its onsite engineering staff via Leader’s FS3019 remote signal monitoring system. All five LV5750 analyzers are housed in the camera control area to ensure consistent color matching from incoming feeds. One of the LV5700A units is installed in the master control room and the other in the cable store at the rear of the vehicle where it is accessible during setup.

HD1 joins an existing fleet of five vehicles used primarily for sports and entertainment coverage. It is already scheduled for use during the summer 2006 World Cup Soccer season. Another WIGE HD OB truck will be ready in April.
