Test & measurement innovator, Leader Electronics of Europe, has announced that BBright, a prominent provider of cutting-edge media and broadcast solutions, has purchased the LV7600W rasterizer to support its IP validation processes. The sale was arranged through Leader Electronics of Europe distributor, TEVIOS, which supports broadcast and pro AV professionals in France, Belgium and Luxembourg.

Based in Rennes, France, BBright has been serving the worldwide broadcasting industry with advanced media processing and monitoring technologies for more than ten years. Now part of Hexaglobe Group, BBright is addressing the requirements of customers including broadcasters, and service providers, its current range of solutions encompasses ingest and playout, monitoring, and transport over IP.

Reflecting the ever-increasing importance of IP to global broadcasting and media delivery – which includes the extensive adoption of standards such as SMPTE ST 2110 – BBright recently decided to enhance its T&M inventory with a rasterizer from Leader. Part of the ZEN-W Series, the LV7600W is a ‘True-Hybrid’ rasterizer compatible with 4K/HD/SD-SDI and UHDTV/HD/SD IP signals. Featuring a fully customizable screen layout, the solution’s waveform, vector, picture, audio and eye pattern displays enable simple yet comprehensive measurements and quality control of the widest range of video and audio formats.

Guillaume Arthuis, Founder and Managing Director of BBright, says that the company prioritizes three core values when deciding upon its technology partners. “Reliability: our testing tools must be rock-solid and error-free, ensuring consistency at every step. Innovation: with rapid advancements in standards, our test equipment must always be at the forefront, adapting to the latest innovations. Trust: success requires complete confidence in our tools, as only with unwavering trust in our equipment can we continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible.”

With the Leader LV7600W – which will play a pivotal role in BBright’s validation process for ST 2110 IP solutions across decoders, playout systems, and in Ultra HD HDR – it’s evident that Arthuis’ team has found a solution that meets all three of these priorities. “Competition in the video analyzer market is intense, but the Leader product stands out, especially with its advanced alarm system and long-term analysis capabilities,” he says. “These unique features empower us to deliver unmatched precision in signal timing, ensuring our customers receive the highest level of accuracy and reliability.”

Martin Mulligan, COO of Leader Electronics of Europe, comments: “BBright has an enviable track-record for remaining ahead of technological advancements in the perpetually dynamic broadcast environment, so it’s no surprise that ST 2110 and IP in general is increasingly integral to their offering. With their new Leader rasterizer, BBright now has a comprehensive set of tools to validate ST 2110 across its product range.”
