theibcdaily Allex multi-axis slider and tripod Libec By David Fox
Allex, a new modular, active support system comprising an all-new tripod, head and five- axis slider, has been launched by Libec, and is claimed to offer users “extremely accurate and smooth pan, tilt and slide movements.”
“The Allex gives users the
freedom to create,” said Nick Allen-Miles of European distributor Ianiro International. “The slider can be used on any surface, or fixed between two tripods for maximum stability. By mounting the slider to a single
tripod and using a second head under the camera, the operator can capture fluid images at any angle for truly cinematic results.” It can take a payload of up to 15kg, and should provide smooth movement thanks to eight ball bearings, while a spring-equipped friction control knob precisely regulates the speed of movement along the 800mm track. A brake enables users to hold the camera on the vertical plain, adding more than half a metre in height to the reach of a standard tripod. The two-stage tripod is a new design, weighing just 2.5kg, with increased rigidity thanks to new high performance stoppers. Each leg incorporates footpads

4K waveform monitor upgraded Leader Instruments By David Fox
The LV5490 SD/HD/4K picture and signal monitor from Leader lnstruments has received some significant enhancements, including two- sample interleave, focus assist, frequency deviation auto-correction, phase difference detection, CIE 1931 chart with 4K colour space and user-adjustable measurement display sizes. “The LV5490 is a high-
precision broadcast test instrument with an unprecedented number of features,” said Richard Heath,
Q&A
Peter Pörs, chief executive officer, Jünger Audio
Has IBC come at a good time for the electronic media industry? Why? I don’t know if there are specific good or bad times for the electronic media industry – it is simply on track for the future. There are always a number of upcoming changes and new challenges to face but so long as we keep the human audience as the target of all our activities, we will continue to do well.

What do you think are the key developments in, or threats to, your market sector at the current time? I don’t want to accept that the way people listen to audio is changing, but actually I think it is – mainly due to the times we live in and the devices they listen to. What doesn’t change is our philosophy to deliver sophisticated audio control solutions to professionals. We believe that by doing this we can improve the listening
experience for consumers.
Why should delegates visit your stand at IBC? If you visit our booth you will meet our team, see our new products and get the chance to talk to us about other products you would like to see from Jünger Audio. We are serving drinks in a relaxed atmosphere and you will be made very welcome. Please don’t miss us in Hall 10.

Leader's European regional development manager. “It can be used in a very wide range of roles including precise matching of up to four studio or outside broadcast cameras at a time. It also doubles as a picture monitor for production crews working on location. The LV5490's multi-standard versatility makes this instrument ideal for use in SD, HD and 4K ultra-HD standards, all in one compact housing.” Up to four channels of 3G- SDI input signals can be displayed simultaneously. Eight input channels are provided - four on dedicated connection ports with cable length measurement
capability. The other four channels are configurable as inputs or outputs with pattern generation functions. It has a 9-inch 1920x1080 LCD monitor and offers DVI and HD-SDI rasterizing monitor output. Shooting in 4K requires
particularly careful focus to ensure, and the unit’s new patent-pending Focus Assist enables it to be used for checking low-contrast content and small image detail. Frequency deviation is now
standard, allowing detection, display and automatic correction of any frequency difference that may exist between each of the input signals. It also has phase difference detection, to
to a standard 75mm ball or flat base tripod – or the dedicated Allex tripod – making it suited to a range of sliders and skater
dollies. The system has a total weight of 5.8kg and costs around £500 or €600. 11.A53
Enhanced leadership: Leader’s LV5490 multiformat video generator with CIE 1931 chart
measure and display any phase discrepancy between input A or an external reference signal and the other input signals.
The unit also has a wide
range of test and measurement capabilities, and can do digital audio monitoring and analysis as an option. 11.A38
