Test & measurement innovator, Leader Electronics, will present the full range of Leader, PHABRIX and LeaderPhabrix T&M solutions at the NAB Show, which takes place at the Las Vegas Convention Center from April 18-22, 2026 (Booth #C5516). A comprehensive showcase of Leader’s acclaimed T&M products will underline its ability to ensure that users can test with clarity, measure with accuracy, and monitor with confidence.
Taking a prominent place on the Leader booth will be one of the company’s most significant launches of recent years, and the first in a new family of video analysis and generation instruments under the ‘LeaderPhabrix’ brand: the LPX500 four simultaneous input Waveform Monitor with 100G-IP and 12G-SDI toolsets. Its feature set is aligned with today’s varied workflows and includes: simultaneous display of four 4K inputs, 4K and 2K inputs, HDR and SDR inputs, or SDI and IP inputs; optional extended 8-inch touchscreen; multiple screen layouts; advanced SDI Physical Layer Analysis (Eye and Jitter) option with support for SD/HD/3G/6G/12G-SDI. The LPX500’s new v1.1 software release will be demonstrated on the booth, adding 10G/25G/100G IP interfaces with SMPTE 2022-6, SMPTE ST 2110-10/20/20/31/40 with ST 2022-7, and AMWA NMOS. A host of optional software licenses are offered, including UHD/4K support, HDR, 25G IP, 100G IP, EUHD (47.95-60p RGB YCbCr 444 formats) and SDI/IP AV Test Signal Generation.
Vital tools for everyday broadcast applications are a core segment of the Leader Electronics range, and at NAB they will be represented by products including the Leader LT4760 sync pulse generator. A 1U full rack synchronous signal generator, the LT4760 is compatible with Black Burst/Tri-level sync/PTP signals for both SDI and IP systems. Specifically, it outputs PTP, GNSS, 4K/HD IP, 4K 12G, 3G/HD/SD SDI, analog synchronous signals, AES/EBU, audio word clock and LTC synchronized to analog video sync signals.
Significantly, the LT4670 can also benefit from its new SyncAlign function if used alongside the LT4448 changeover unit, with the two products connected by the newly released LC2187 cable. Tightly coupling the behavior of the PTP reference with BB, TLS and digital audio references, SyncAlign ensures that all timing references switch together – maintaining complete system alignment should failover events occur.
Leader will also be highlighting the capabilities of its ZEN-W Series of advanced analyzers to deal with the demands of today’s broadcast media T&M environments, where IP-based and/or remote production control and monitoring are increasingly commonplace. JPEG XS technology has been integrated into the ZEN-W Series, delivering advanced monitoring capabilities for SMPTE ST 2110-22 compressed IP streams, whilst the incorporation of the Real-Time Communication (WebRTC) interface facilitates secure remote control and monitoring from a web-connected desktop or laptop computer. The ZEN-W Series comprises two products: the LV5600W waveform monitor, which is a 3U high half-rack-width unit with an integral 7-inch touchscreen; and the LV7600W rasterizer, occupying a compact 1U and providing SDI plus TMDS monitor outputs.
Echoing the growing popularity of the NDI® (Network Device Interface) video connectivity technology, Leader’s NDI Checker software – which provides live analysis and monitoring of all NDI signals and performance in broadcast and pro AV workflows – is also much in-demand. With the latest v1.2 version of the software, there is support for both unicast and multicast configurations, as well as more extensive NDI configuration controls for tasks such as setting your NDI Group receiving, managing external sources, and defining multicast IP address ranges. In addition, NDI Checker now runs on NDI Advanced SDK v6.2, which means it shows up properly as a receiver when working in a Discovery Server environment.
Completing the comprehensive presentation of Leader Electronics products will be the full suite of PHABRIX handhelds, including the acclaimed Sx TAG with portable IP/SDI toolset, and the stalwart PHABRIX Qx Series of rasterizers and waveform monitors.
