electric shock, damage to the instrument, or some other accident.
■Warnings Concerning the Power Source
Use the instrument with a 100 to 240 VAC power source. Using a power source with a higher
voltage could lead to fire. Also, only use a power source whose frequency is 50/60 Hz.
Use a power cord that is appropriate for the voltage of the power source. Also, use a power
cord that meets the safety standards of the country that you are using it in. Using a power cord
that does not meet the standards could lead to fire.
If the power cord is damaged, stop using it, and contact your local LEADER agent. Using a
damaged power cord could lead to electrical shock or fire. When removing the plug from the
power outlet, do not pull on the cord. Pull from the plug.
■Installation Environment
• Operating Temperature Range
Use this instrument in a 0 to 40 °C environment. Using the instrument with its vents blocked
or in a high temperature environment could lead to fire.
Drastic changes in temperature, such as might be caused by moving the instrument between
two rooms with different temperatures, can damage the instrument by causing condensation
to form within it. If there is a possibility that the instrument has condensation within it, wait for
approximately 30 minutes before turning on the power.
• Operating Humidity Range
Use this instrument in an environment whose relative humidity is 85 % or less where there is
no threat of condensation forming.
Also, do not operate this instrument with wet hands. Doing so could lead to electric shock or
fire.
• Do Not Operate in an Explosive Atmosphere
Using this instrument in an environment where flammable gasses, explosive gasses, or
steam is emitted or stored could lead to an explosion or fire. Do not use the instrument in
such an environment.

2. SPECIFICATIONS
2.1 General
The LV 5381 is a waveform monitor that can monitor up to four SDI signals simultaneously. It
is optimized for the level adjustment of the outputs of multiple installed cameras. In the video
signal waveform display, vector display, and picture display, multiple input signals can be
displayed on top of each other or lined up next to each other. It is also full of useful features
such as a level meter display for embedded audio, an error display that indicates
transmission errors, and a 5-bar display that shows video signal peak levels using five bars.
Furthermore, the LV 5381 can show different combinations of these displays in its
multi-screen display.
2.2 Features
2.2.1 Standard Features
●Simultaneous Monitoring of Four Inputs
The LV 5381 is a waveform monitor with a built-in 8.4-inch TFT-LCD. It can display up to
four SDI input signals of the same format simultaneously. The LCD is an XGA display
(1024 × 768 pixels) that boasts high color reproducibility. This makes the LV 5381 useful
for picture monitoring as well.
●Rich Assortment of Display Features
Not only does the LV 5381 have essential displays for video signal quality monitoring,
such as a video signal waveform display and a vector display, it also has a rich
assortment of other display features such as a picture display, audio level meter display,
5-bar display, transmission error detection, and gamut error detection.
●Wide Variety of Display Formats
In the video signal waveform display, vector display, and picture display, the LV 5381 can
display up to four input SDI signals on top of each other or side by side. This makes it
suitable for adjusting the gain and black balance values of multiple cameras. In the video
signal waveform and vector displays, the LV 5381 can make different waveforms easier
to see by using a different waveform color for each input channel.
●Extremely Flexible Display Layouts
Each of the different displays can be shown on a single screen, or the multi-screen
display feature can be used to divide the screen into four areas with a different display
shown in each area. The video signal waveform display, picture display, and audio level
meter display can be shown as a thumbnail display on the one-screen display.
In addition, the user layout can be used to display the measurement screen with a
user-defined layout. For details on the user layout, contact your local LEADER agent.
●Video Signal Waveform Display
The input YCBCRsignal can be converted to an RGB or pseudo-composite signal and
shown on the video signal waveform display. The video signal waveform display has a
rich assortment of features such as waveform magnification and line selection.

●Picture Display
The picture display has a wide variety of picture monitoring features, such as color
temperature specification; brightness, contrast, and aperture adjustment; and the display
of gamut error locations.
●Standard-Equipped CINELITE II
The CINELITE feature makes it easy to manage the levels of specific points on the
picture display. This is useful for adjusting the gain of multiple cameras through the use
of the same reference point. Furthermore, the CINELITE Advanced feature makes it
possible to synchronize measurements with the video signal waveform display and
vector display.
The CINEZONE feature makes it possible to check the luminance distribution of the
whole picture display at a glance.
●Screen Capture Feature
The display can be captured and stored as image data. The captured data can be
displayed on the LV 5381. Additionally, it can be saved as bitmap files to USB memory,
which makes it possible to view the data on a PC.
●External Sync Signal Input
The LV 5381 can receive a tri-level sync signal or an NTSC or PAL black burst signal as
its external sync signal and then display video signal waveforms with this sync signal as
its reference.
●Preset Feature
Up to 30 sets of panel settings can be registered as presets and loaded easily at a later
time. Registration of settings that are used repeatedly can help you work more efficiently.
In addition, the LV 5381 has a display mode preset feature that can be used to register
the settings for each display—the video signal waveform display, vector display, and
picture display. This makes it possible to use the displays according to different usage
conditions.
●Key LEDs
All the panel keys have LEDs. This makes it easy to find the keys even in dark
environments.
●Last Memory Feature
The LV 5381 always keeps a backup of the current settings. When the LV 5381 is
restarted, it can be used with the same settings that were in use before it was turned off.
●ID Display
IDs can be assigned to input channels. IDs are entered from the LV 5381 panel.
●Stereo Headphone Output
The LV 5381 can deliver the embedded audio of an SDI signal in stereo through the
headphone output jacks.

2.2.2 Optional Features and Products Sold Separately
●Remote and Tally Option (OP70, factory option)
The addition of the external remote option enables the LV 5381 to load presets and
display tallies according to the signals that it receives through the rear-panel remote
control connector. This makes it possible to link the LV 5381 to a switcher or other
device.
●Dual Link Option (LV 5381SER01)
The addition of the dual link option enables the LV 5381 to monitor a pair of dual link
signals simultaneously.
●Audio Lissajous Option (LV 5381SER02)
The addition of the audio lissajous option enables the LV 5381 to display the lissajous
curves and the numeric values of levels of the audio that is embedded in an SDI signal.
●Status Option (LV 5381SER03)
The addition of the status option enables the LV 5381 to show analysis displays such as
the data dump, phase difference, and event log displays.
