PHABRIX CEO Reveals Portable QxP Rasterizer in Latest VIDEO

/in /by

PHABRIX is set to ship their QxP “portable QxL” rasterizer this November!

Introduced at IBC 2022, the QxP is the newest addition to the Qx line of rasterizers by test & measurement manufacturer PHABRIX. The original Qx focused on SDI and 10G ethernet. Next came the QxL rasterizer which works with UHD signals with 25G IP & 12G SDI. It addressed the need for 25G ethernet and followed the momentum of 2110. And finally the QxP is the portable version of the QxL.

The flexible & robust QxP comes in a 3RU form factor with battery V-Plate option 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.

The highly flexible power arrangement provides auto-changeover between integral IEC Mains (internal PSU), External 4 pin DC PSU or via the optional camera battery V-plate. Enjoy anywhere from 2 to 4 hours of battery life.

The new chassis has a built-in speaker as well as a 1920 x 1200 LCD screen with multi-touch and integral button controls.

Additional features include:

  • Support for SMPTE ST 2110
  • ST 2022-7 seamless protection at up to 4K 25G, ST 2022-6 & 12G-SDI
  • New Waveforms
  • Wide range of YCbCr and RGB formats
