1.2.2 Mechanical Shock
This instrument contains sensitive components, so it may be damaged if it is dropped or
otherwise exposed to a strong shock.
1.2.3 Electrostatic Damage
Electronic components can be damaged by static discharge. Static electricity can build up
in the core wire of a coaxial cable. Before connecting a coaxial cable to the instrument,
short the core wire of the cable with the external conductor.
1.2.4 Warming Up
To ensure more accurate measurements, turn ON the instrument approximately 30 minutes
before you intend to use it to allow its internal temperature to stabilize.
1.2.5 About Standby Mode
Even if you press the power switch to turn off this instrument, the instrument remains in
standby mode as long as the power cord is connected to the outlet. In standby mode, some
of the internal circuits operate and may generate heat. Unless necessary, keep the power
cord disconnected from the outlet.

1. INTRODUCTION

1.2.6 Backup
This instrument has a last-memory feature. When you turn the power on, the instrument
starts with the panel settings that were in use the last time that it was turned off. If the
backup battery is out of power, the message “The last memory feature is disabled.” will
appear, and this last-memory feature will no longer work.
To continually use the last-memory feature, we recommend that you replace the backup
battery with a new one every five years after you purchase the instrument. You cannot
replace the backup battery yourself. For details, contact your nearest LEADER agent.
1.2.7 About the LCD Panel
There may be a small number of pixels in the LCD panel that do not light or are always on.
Note that this is not a malfunction.
The LCD panel supports a large number of video signals. SDI input signals are displayed
asynchronously on the LCD. Therefore, images may appear to flicker on the waveform and
picture displays.
In addition, the input SDI signal is temporarily stored in frame memory and is loaded by
using the LCD display synchronization signal—which is not synchronized with the input
SDI signal. Therefore, because frame skip—which skips over frames in the memory—and
frame repeat—which reads the same frames of the memory twice—occur, the image may
appear to flicker.
(An external sync signal can be used to synchronize the LCD to the input signal.)

link, 3G dual link and quad link and HD quad link.
Up to four 12G single link or 3G dual link 4K video signals can be displayed by switching.
Up to two 3G quad link or HD quad link 4K video signals can be displayed by switching.
In addition, IP (NMI) supports video signals in 4K video format (3840×2160). If 4K video is
input into IP (NMI), only one input is displayed.
●Full High Definition LCD
The LV 5490 is equipped with a 9-inch LCD with excellent viewing angle and color
reproducibility. It can also be used as a high-quality high definition picture monitor.
●Free Layout
The LV 5490 can display not only the video signal waveform, vector waveform, picture, and
the like of an input SDI signal simultaneously, but it can also display multiple input signals
simultaneously and overlay them for comparison. The measurement screens can be
adjusted in size and position as you like.
Different layout configurations can be achieved simply by using the mouse.
●Eight Inputs and Simultaneous Four Input Display
The LV 5490 has four SDI input connectors compatible with 3G, HD, and SD and can
display up to four SDI input signals simultaneously. It also has four additional SDI I/O
connectors. (*1) If these connectors are used as inputs, the LV 5490 can receive up to eight
SDI input signals.
*1 For the I/O connectors, the maximum length of 5C2V cables that SD signals can be received is 100
meters. See section 4.9.1, “SDI Signal I/O.”
●Up to Four 12G-SDI Inputs and Reclock Output (SER06/SER08)
The LV 5490 has four SDI input connectors compatible with 12G and can display the SDI
signal of one of these inputs by switching. Further, it also provides reclock output of the
displayed 12G-SDI signal.
●Equivalent Cable Length Measurement (SER01/SER02)
The four SDI input connectors are equipped with an equivalent cable length measurement
function. This function displays SDI signal attenuation in terms of a coaxial cable length,
which can be used to check the margin that the system has.
●Pattern Generator Function and Reclock Output
By using the four SDI I/O connectors as outputs, you can use them as reclock outputs of
the SDI signals received through the SDI input connectors. They can also be used as
outputs for generating patterns such as color bars with embedded audio. In pattern output,
the phase of each SDI output can be varied up to ±0.5 lines or ±1/2 frames. This feature
can be used to check the system’s phase margin.

●External Monitor Output and SDI Routing
The measurement screen can be output in SDI or DVI-D from the monitor output connector.
The output signal can be displayed on an external LCD in full high definition resolution. In
addition, an SDI signal received through one of the SDI input or SDI I/O connectors can be
reclocked and output, serving as a routing function. (excluding 12G-SDI)
●USB Mouse Operation
A USB mouse can be used to operate the panel. If the measurement screen is displayed
on an external monitor in SDI or DVI-D, you can control the LV 5490 by using a USB mouse
while viewing the external monitor.
●SDI Signal Analysis
On the status display, SDI signal transmission errors and various errors related to the
embedded audio signal, ancillary data, and video data can be detected.
It also has event log, data dump, phase difference measurement features, and lip sync
measurement (SER03) enabling you to perform detailed SDI signal analysis.
●Screen Capture
The LV 5490 is equipped with a screen capture feature, which captures the entire display
as still-image data. Not only can captured data be displayed by the LV 5490, but it can also
be compared with an input signal or saved to a USB memory device as bitmap data for
viewing on a PC.
●Frame Capture
The LV 5490 is equipped with a frame capture feature, which captures single frames in an
SDI signal. Frames can be captured manually or automatically when errors occur.
●Time Code Display
The LV 5490 can display the LTC or VITC that is embedded in an SDI signal and the
D-VITC of an SD signal. The timecode can also be used for time stamps in the event log.
●External Remote Connector
The remote control connector can be used to load presets, switch the input signal, and
transmit alarms.
●Ethernet Port
By connecting the Ethernet interface to a PC, you can control the LV 5490 remotely over
TELNET, transfer files over FTP, control the LV 5490 remotely and detect errors over SNMP,
and control the LV 5490 over HTTP (to be supported in the future). You can also connect to
the separately-sold LV 5490-01 (REMOTECONTROLLER).
●Eye Pattern Display (SER02/SER09)
This feature can display eye pattern waveforms and jitter waveforms of SDI signals as well
as measurement results of various parameters. The feature displays the information of the
SDI signals received through the four SDI input connectors, one input at a time.

●Embedded Audio Display (SER03)
Embedded audio can be separated from the SDI signal and shown in Lissajous, surround,
and meter displays. Other types of analysis displays are also available. 16 channels of one
SDI signal or 4 channels of four SDI signals can be displayed simultaneously.
●Digital Audio I/O (SER03)
The digital Audio I/O option has eight digital I/O connectors. Switching between input and
output is possible in groups of four connectors (eight channels).
When used as inputs, digital audio can be shown in Lissajous, surround, and meter
displays. Other types of analysis displays are also available.
When used as outputs, embedded audio is separated from SDI signals and output as
digital audio signals.
●Dolby Option (SER03)
When the Dolby option is added, the Dolby audio signal in the embedded audio or digital
audio signal can be decoded and displayed.
Dolby E, Dolby Digital, and Dolby Digital Plus are supported.
●Focus Assist (SER04)
A new focusing algorithm based on nonlinear super-resolution technology has been
developed, allowing highly sensitive focusing even on low-contrast images that were
difficult to be focused in on in the past. You can select the sensitivity from the five available
levels according to the image scene.
●CIE Diagram (SER05)
Chromaticity diagrams based on ITU-R BT.601, ITU-R BT.709, and ITU-R BT.2020
colorimetries can be displayed. Display mode supports CIE 1931 (xy display) and CIE 1976
(u'v' display).
●HDR (SER07)
On CINEZONE display, the SDR area is displayed in monochrome, while the HDR area is
displayed using colors corresponding to the brightness. This makes it easy to view the
brightness distribution in the HDR area. In addition, displaying the peak and average
values of brightness reduces the grading time.
On video signal waveform display and histogram display, displaying a scale corresponding
to the HDR standard makes it possible to manage video in Scene linear.
●IP(NMI) Input (SER08)
As the IP input supports Networked Media Interface (NMI), 4K (compressed) and HD
(compressed or uncompressed) video signals can be displayed with little delay.
If the input signal is HD, the video signals of up to four inputs can be displayed
simultaneously. In addition, IP and SDI can be displayed simultaneously.
●Video Noise Meter (SER10)
Noise included in the Y, G, B, or R signal of the SDI signal applied to the LV 5490 can be
measured.
