Overcome the challenges of quality control applications with the Rx 500 (1RU) 2-Channel HD/SD-SDI Waveform Monitoring/Testing Analyzer. This ultra-compact, dual-input analyzer offers a comprehensive solution for 2K/3G/HD/SD-SDI video/audio analysis and monitoring. Its compact 1/2 1RU frame is not only space-efficient but also doubles as a signal generator for both video and audio.
The Rx 500 stands out with its ability to display up to 16 instruments per channel for in-depth video analysis and physical layer testing. This feature, combined with its external monitor compatibility, makes it a powerful tool for video technology professionals.
Experience faster, more efficient fault finding with the Rx 500's video and audio capture capabilities. The device can automatically trigger captures when faults are detected, based on user-defined criteria. This feature, along with its remote access capability, allows engineers to monitor and analyze video from any location, using a web browser.
Optimize your workflows with the Rx 500's ultra-flexible, user-defined instrument display layouts. You can display up to 16 instruments simultaneously, with sizes ranging from full screen to 1/16 screen. In multi-channel monitoring environments, channel identification is simplified with a dedicated window color per channel.
The Rx 500 is equipped with advanced diagnostic tools, including Real-time Eye and Jitter physical layer analysis instruments, closed caption, loudness, and Dolby monitoring. This makes it an ideal choice for OB trucks, broadcast facilities, and video technology manufacturers.
The Rx 500 supports 2K/3G/HD/SD-SDI generation, analysis, and monitoring, and offers a signal generator option for video and audio. It also features a 12-bit YRGB/YUV waveform monitor with H,V zoom and a vectorscope for checking color bias/conformity.
