Rx Range of Rasterizer Products: VIDEO by PHABRIX

/in /by

PHABRIX released a video of their Rx range of test & measurement rasterizer products. The Rx Series is perfect for analyzing, generating and monitoring 3G/HD/SD SDI signals.

Overall, the Rx Series includes 3 models with identical software features*:

  • Rx 500: 2 channel analyzer/generator & monitoring system (1/2 1U)
  • Rx 1000: Compact 4 channel analyzer/generator & monitoring system (1U)
  • Rx 2000: 4 channel analyzer/generator with monitoring via dual built-in screens & audio speakers (2U)

*The choice of model comes down to the desired form-factor and number of signals to be monitored simultaneously. One module required per signal.

AV Delay toolset on PHABRIX Sx Handheld Series VIDEO

/in /by

The AV Delay toolset on the PHABRIX handheld Sx range measures audio to video differential delay through a broadcast chain.

PHABRIX_Sx_AVDelay_TEVIOS

In addition to providing a real-time update of the differential delay between video content and a selected audio channel pair, PHABRIX’s AV Delay Generation and Analysis also measures the propagation (latency), or pipeline delay, of the video and audio content.

See this toolset explained in the demo video below:

5 Reasons Sx TAG IP is ideal for ST 2110 Test & Measurement

/in /by
The Sx TAG by PHABRIX offers incredible versatility in a handheld device! With its SFP, SDI and analog I/O, it is ideal for IP, 3G/HD/SD-SDI, optical SDI, HDMI and Analog test & measurement, plus AES eye analysis. Discover five reasons why the Sx TAG IP is the ideal tool for ST 2110 test & measurement:
.
1. Ideal for checking IP 2110/2022-6/2022-7, 3G/HD/SD-SDI, optical SDI, HDMI and Analog signals
The Sx TAG’S SFP+ cage supports coaxial and optical 3G/HD/SD-SDI, HDMI, and 10G-IP I/O. Coupled to the TAG’s existing SDI, CVBS, AES and balanced audio I/O a vast array of signal generation, analysis and conversion capabilities are provided including encap/decap of ST 2110-20/30/31/40 flows to/from an SDI gateway with ST2059 PTP, AMWA NMOS IS-04/IS-05/IS-08, as well as ST 2022-6 and even the ability to generate an analog reference locked to ST 2059 PTP or 2022-6.

JT-NM Self-Test results for PHABRIX’ Qx Rasterizer & Sx TAG

/1 Comment/in /by

Various PHABRIX solutions successfully self-tested against the criteria for AMWA NMOS TR-1001-1 and SMPTE 2110 at the JT-NM Spring 2020 self-test. The products that self-tested include the Qx rasterizer and handheld Sx TAG.

PHABIRX_JT-NM self-test_TEVIOS

The JT-NM Tested Program shows how various IP-based equipment aligns with the SMPTE ST 2110, SMPTE ST 2059 and AMWA NMOS TR-1001-1 standards and requirements. The Qx ST 2110 “JT-NM Self-Tested” core IP feature set provides operators with ST 2110 confidence status monitoring. Furthermore, it is designed for HD IP ST 2110/2022-7 AMWA NMOS and ST 2022-6 environments. The Sx TAG, on the other hand, offers support for modern broadcast IP systems with JT-NM Self-Tested encapsulation and decapsulation. A built-in synchroniser supports hybrid operation, allowing asynchronous SDI sources to be locked to PTP for ST 2110 encapsulation.
