PHABRIX Rx 500 (1RU) 2-Channel HD/SD-SDI Waveform Monitoring/Testing Analyzer with One Analyzer and Generator Module

While the Rx 500 (1RU) stands as a sophisticated and advanced 2-channel HD/SD-SDI waveform monitoring and testing analyzer, it is also an innovative solution for professionals seeking a high-tech, comprehensive toolset for quality control in video and audio production. This ultra-compact unit is not only ideal for monitoring and analyzing dual inputs per analyzer, but it also provides signal generation capabilities, making it a versatile choice for a variety of applications.

The Rx 500's 1/2 1RU frame is designed to support up to 16 instruments displayed per channel, allowing for detailed video analysis and physical layer testing on an external monitor. This feature-rich device enables faster and more efficient intermittent fault finding through video and audio capture, which can be automatically triggered by the analyzer based on user-defined criteria. The captured content aids in swift fault diagnosis, a critical feature for maintaining broadcast quality.

Remote access capability is a standout feature of the Rx 500, allowing engineers to monitor and analyze video from any location via a web browser, ensuring that quality control is not confined to the physical location of the equipment. The ultra-flexible layout options of the Rx 500 optimize workflows, with user-defined instrument display layouts that can be sized from full screen down to 1/16 screen. Each channel can be easily identified through dedicated window colors, and with up to 99 presets available, the Rx 500 can be tailored to fit the needs of even the largest facilities.

The Rx 500 is a highly adapted toolset for outside broadcast trucks and broadcast facilities, equipped with multiple advanced diagnostics tools. These include Real-time Eye and Jitter physical layer analysis instruments, as well as closed caption, loudness, and Dolby monitoring. The unit's signal generation capabilities extend to 2K/3G/HD/SD-SDI and Optical support with looping I/O, and it features a 12-bit YRGB/YUV waveform monitor with horizontal and vertical zoom, as well as a vectorscope for checking color bias and conformity.

The Rx 500 is capable of generating 32 test patterns, including Pathological and moving patterns, and provides REF locking and timing analysis for precise synchronization. Its advanced analysis toolset can display up to two channels of closed captions, supporting various formats such as WTS/OP42/OP47, EIA 608, and EIA 708. The ancillary data analyzer supports ANC Timecode, reference VITC, and LTC.

For audio monitoring, the Rx 500 offers up to two channels of loudness metering and monitoring, compatible with ITU or EBU Recommendation 128, and automatically stores loudness logs. It also supports 16 channels of embedded audio monitoring with level meters, phase meters, and Dolby E / AES support.

The PHRXM-AG Analyzer and Generator Module included with the Rx 500 allows for continuous monitoring of a single connected SDI video signal and the generation of a single SDI video test signal. This module is compatible with the Rx2000, Rx1000, and Rx500 instruments, and provides a comprehensive suite of monitoring tools, including a Picture Viewer for confidence monitoring, a Vectorscope for color monitoring, and a Waveform Monitor for level checking.

The Rx 500's compact form factor, measuring just 17cm deep and weighing 1.3kg, along with its low power consumption, ensures cool operation and easy integration into any professional setup. Whether used in broadcast facilities, OB trucks, or by video technology manufacturers, the Rx 500 delivers a professional-grade solution for 2K/3G/HD/SD-SDI generation, analysis, and monitoring.
