PHABRIX Waveform Monitors

PHABRIX QxP

4K | 12G-SDI | 3G-SDI | HD-SDI | IP | HDR

Inheriting all of the class leading features and flexibility of the QxL Rasterizer the QxP features an integral 3U multitouch LCD screen and an integral V-Mount or G-Mount battery plate, integral mains PSU and 12v external DC input. You now have 12G SDI and 25G ST 2110 compliance monitoring in a portable form factor using industry standard Camera Batteries*.

With its class-leading Waveforms, the QxP is equally at home on-set in SDR or HDR Productions, Grading, Shading, or QC, MCR, Engineering and R&D environments. The user is free to use the integral screen, or plug in an external HDMI monitor and use the flexible tool layout to view up to 16 instruments simultaneously. A rich set of remote access options including NoVNC and the UI as a 2110-20 flow provides all of the ‘headless’ operational flexibility of a conventional Rasterizer.

PHABRIX QxL

IP | 4K | 12G-SDI | 3G-SDI | HD-SDI | HDR

The QxL inherits all the JT-NM Tested features of the Qx with a common look and feel across both platforms. For realtime UHD IP workflows on 25G networks with video payloads up to 21Gbps, the class leading QxL provides support for 2110 and 2022-6 on generic 10G/25G SFP28 interfaces. The QxL is fully 10G/25G IP enabled as standard, with support for generation and analysis of a JT-NM TR 1001- 1:2018, ST 2110-20 (video), up to four 2110-30 (PCM) and 2110-31 (AES transport) audio and a 2110-40 ANC media flow, all with 2022-7 Seamless IP Protection Switching (SIPS) and AMWA NMOS IS-04 discovery and IS-05 device connection management.

PHABRIX Qx

12G-SDI | 6G-SDI | 3G-SDI | HD-SDI | IP | HDR 

The Qx brings together all the advanced Test & Measurement tools required for transitioning to the next generation of video formats. Designed for HD/3G/6G/12-SDI and IP ST 2110/2022-7/2022-6 environments, the instrument set includes tools for rapid fault diagnosis, compliance monitoring and product development.

The Qx rasterizer offers SDI as standard. Core media analysis tools for broadcast operator HD-SDI environments include picture view, waveform analyzer, vectorscope, 32 channel audio metering and ANC status. The optional IP toolset supports payloads on native 10G SFP+ interfaces using generic IP SFPs, giving full access to be able to monitor and measure the IP traffic to SMPTE standards.

PHABRIX Rx Series

2K | 3G-SDI | HD-SDI | SD-SDI 

Based on the award-winning Sx portable test & measurement range, the rackmounted Rx series of rasterizers delivers advanced 2K/3G/HD/SD signal generation, analysis and monitoring for faster compliance testing and fault diagnosis of both video and audio signals.

Monitoring workflows are optimized with ultra-flexible, user-defined instrument display layouts. Up to 16 instruments can be presented simultaneously, at sizes ranging from full screen down to 1/16 screen. In multi-channel environments, channel identification is simplified with a dedicated window color per channel.

PHABRIX SxE

Portable 3G/HD/SD Generation, Analysis & Monitoring
with Advanced Physical Layer Analysis

With advanced SDI physical layer analysis (Eye & Jitter), the SxE is ideal for applications such as video technology manufacturing and live production.

The instant, RTE™ (Real-Time Eye) technology speeds physical layer testing, and delivers automated measurements and logging for key parameters such as: rise time, fall time, delta, overshoot, undershoot and cable length. The Jitter analysis instrument enables an engineer to quickly analyze the nature of jitter present using a graph of jitter versus time.

Other key capabilities include Dolby® E, Dolby® Digital and Dolby® Digital Plus bitstream analysis, as well as video status logging, and remote operation over Ethernet.

PHABRIX SxD

Portable dual-link 3G/HD/SD-SDI Generation, Analysis &
Video/Audio Monitoring

The SxD is a dual-link 3G/HD/SD-SDI version of the SxA which is designed for video technology manufacturing and production applications. It has two SDI inputs, two SDI outputs and no AES input or outputs.

It offers support of multiple advanced video standards up to a combined maximum data rate of 3Gbits across the two SDI links, including 422/444, YUV/RGB, 10/12 bit and SMPTE 428-9 D-Cinema/SMPTE ST 2048-2:2011 formats.

PHABRIX SxA

Portable 3G/HD/SD Generation, Analysis & Video/Audio Monitoring

The SxA offers all of the same advanced signal generation, analysis and monitoring capabilities as the SxE, without the advanced Real-Time SDI physical layer analysis (eye and jitter instruments)

There’s support for SMPTE compliance testing with over 350 different formats. An extensive array of video and audio tools includes a signal generator with moving test patterns, a high-performance waveform, and ANC/VANC inspector.

The SxA also offers 16 channel audio generation and metering with support for Dolby® E, Dolby® Digital and Dolby® Digital metadata and bitstream analysis.

PHABRIX Sx TAG

Portable hybrid IP/SDI + Analog Generation, Analysis &
Video/Audio Monitoring

Sx TAG with its SFP, SDI and analog I/O offers incredible versatility in a handheld device. It is ideal for IP, 3G/HD/SD-SDI, optical SDI, HDMI and Analog test & measurement as well as AES eye analysis, for applications demanding true mobility and ease of use.

It provides support for SMPTE ST 2110-20/30/31/40 encapsulation/decapsulation with ST 2059 PTP, SDP and NMOS as well as SMPTE ST 2022-6 encapsulation/ decapsulation, using 10GE IP SFP+ modules developed by Embrionix.

Useful hybrid IP/SDI features include SDI to IP and IP to SDI gateways for both ST 2110-20/30/31/40 and ST 2022-6 as well as the ability to generate an analog reference ouput slaved to the ST 2059 PTP or 2022-6 IP input.
