PHABRIX offers three lines of exceptional solutions:
Qx/QxL & QxP : IP, 4K/UHD, HDR Rasterizers
Sx Series : Handheld/Portable Devices
Rx Series : 2K/3G/HD/SD Rasterizers
IP, 4K/UHD, HDR Rasterizers
Handheld/Portable Devices
2K/3G/HD/SD Rasterizers
Qx/QxL & QxP: IP, 4K/UHD, HDR Rasterizers
Qx : Hybrid IP/SDI, 4K/UHD, HDR/WCG
The Qx advanced rasterizer for hybrid IP/SDI, 4K/UHD, HDR/WCG generation of analysis and monitoring brings all of the test & measurement tools required for transitioning to the next generation of video formats together. The Qx range was created for HD/3G/6G/12G-SDI and IP ST 2110/2022-7/2022-6 environments. The tools included in the instrument set provide rapid fault diagnosis, compliance monitoring plus product development.
Qx focuses on a classical SDI-based HD facility future-proofed for realtime IP. It features HD/3G over 10G IP and SDI as standard. UHD-SDI (6G/12G) and HDR available as optional in-field license upgrades. Realtime SDI Eye (Real-Time Eye) and jitter analysis with advanced SDI-Stress toolset available as factory hardware upgrades.
The QxL compact, feature-rich 25G IP ST 2110 rasterizer is designed for realtime UHD IP workflows on 25G networks. As standard it provides support for HD/3G 2110 and 2022-6 payloads on generic 10G/25G SFP28 interfaces. Not only is it fully 10G/25G IP-enabled, it also provides support for JT-NM TR 1001- 1:2018, ST 2110-20 (video), 2110-30 (PCM) and 2110-31 (AES transport) audio, 2110-40 ANC media flows, all with 2022-7 Seamless IP Protection Switching (SIPS).
Additional features include independent PTP slaves on both media ports for fully redundant media network operation with AMWA NMOS IS-04 discovery and IS-05 device connection management. Various options include UHD payloads, HDR, & IP-MEAS upgrades, SDI BNC & SFP media interfaces, SDI Eye & Jitter, and the SDI-STRESS toolset.
The QxP “Portable QxL” inherits all of the advantages of the QxL rasterizer including its extensive toolset and flexible architecture for fully portable single/dual/quad SDI operation up to 12G-SDI copper, and SDI or 10/25G ST 2110 with NMOS over mono-mode/LR or multi-mode/SR fibre using industry standard SFPs. All within a 3RU form factor with touch screen and battery V-Plate option.
Additionally, the QxP features class-leading waveforms and a rich set of remote access options such as NoVNC and the UI as a 2110-20 flow.
Fast becoming the “Swiss army knife” of broadcast engineers, the Sx TAG by Phabrix is a highly versatile tool for diagnosing audio, visual and IP issues.
Sx TAG, with its SFP, SDI and analog I/O, is an incredibly versatile handheld device. Ideal for IP, 3G/HD/SD-SDI, optical SDI, HDMI and Analog test & measurement and AES eye analysis, Sx TAG is for applications demanding true mobility.
Sx TAG uses 10GE IP SFP+ modules developed by Embrionix to provide support for SMPTE ST 2110-20/30/40 encapsulation/decapsulation with ST 2059 PTP, SDP and NMOS plus SMPTE ST 2022-6 encapsulation/decapsulation.
Perfect for video technology manufacturing and live production applications, this portable 3G/HD/SD generation solution offers advanced SDI physical layer analysis (Eye & Jitter) and monitoring.
Using a graph of jitter versus time, the Jitter analysis instrument allows an engineer to analyze the nature of jitter present. Instant, Real-Time Eye technology not only speeds physical layer testing, but also delivers automated measurements and logging for the following parameters: rise time, fall time, delta, overshoot, undershoot & cable length.
The SxE also features Dolby® E, Dolby® Digital & Dolby® Digital Plus bitstream analysis while providing video status logging plus remote operation over Ethernet.
This portable 3G/HD/SD solution provides the same advanced signal generation, analysis & monitoring capabilities as the SxE minus the eye and jitter instruments.
With over 350 formats, the SxA offers support for SMPTE compliance testing as well as 16 channel audio generation and metering supporting Dolby® E, Dolby® Digital and Dolby® Digital metadata & bitstream analysis. The video and audio tools include a signal generator with a high-performance waveform, moving test patterns and ANC/VANC inspector.
Lithium batteries typically lose approximately 20% capacity per year. As the Sx devices are lithium battery-based, it’s likely their batteries will need to be replaced every 3 to 5 years.
Fortunately, there are multiple options when it comes to battery replacements on these Sx devices:
Self-Installation: Replacement battery comes with installation instructions.
Factory Installation & Calibration: Battery is installed at PHABRIX HQ. This also includes a factory update (where applicable) and testing & calibration.
Rx Series : 2K/3G/HD/SD Rasterizers
The Rx Series of analyzer/generator & monitoring rasterizers is perfect for quality control applications. Available as a single, dual or 4 channel 2K/3G/HD/SD-SDI video/audio analyzer and monitoring solution in a compact 1/2 RU or 1RU frame (depending on model). The Rx 500 offers signal generation for video and audio while supporting dual inputs per analyzer. Sixteen instruments can be presented for eye/jitter testing and video analysis simultaneously.
The starter configuration provides a single channel video analyzer plus optional eye/jitter analysis and signal generation. Through expansion modules, three more channels of video analysis/generation or 12x AES audio analysis/generation are able to be added.
