A sophisticated and advanced solution for video and audio analysis, the Rx 500 (1RU) 2-Channel HD/SD-SDI Waveform Monitoring/Testing Analyzer with One Analyzer/Generator Module and Eye/Jitter Analysis is an indispensable tool for quality control applications in the television and video production industry. This high-tech device, from the reputable brand Phabrix, offers dual-channel monitoring and testing of both HD and SD-SDI signals, setting it apart from single-signal alternatives.
The Rx 500 is designed with an ultra-compact 1/2 1RU frame, capable of displaying up to 16 instruments per channel for comprehensive video analysis and physical layer testing. This innovative device also doubles as a signal generator for video and audio, making it a versatile addition to any broadcast setup.
Equipped with a unique capture and remote access feature, the Rx 500 expedites intermittent fault finding by automatically triggering video and audio capture when faults are detected. This feature, coupled with the device's remote access capability, allows engineers to monitor and analyze video from any location via a web browser, enhancing workflow efficiency.
The Rx 500 stands out with its ultra-flexible, user-defined instrument display layouts. It allows simultaneous display of up to 16 instruments, with sizes ranging from full screen to 1/16 screen. This feature, along with a dedicated window color per channel, simplifies channel identification in multichannel monitoring environments.
This precise analyzer is also equipped with a highly adapted toolset for outside broadcasting trucks and broadcast facilities. It includes advanced diagnostics tools such as Real-time Eye and Jitter physical layer analysis instruments, closed caption, loudness, and Dolby monitoring. The Rx 500 supports 2K/3G/HD/SD-SDI and Optical looping I/O, and offers a vectorscope for checking color bias/conformity.
The Rx 500 also excels in physical layer testing, offering a Real-time Eye option for testing SMPTE compliance issues, including under/overshoot, and jitter analysis in five specified frequency bands. It supports up to 2 channels of closed captions, ancillary data analyzer with ANC Timecode, reference VITC, and LTC support, and up to 2 channels of loudness metering and monitoring.
The Rx 500 (1RU) 2-Channel HD/SD-SDI Waveform Monitoring/Testing Analyzer with One Analyzer/Generator Module and Eye/Jitter Analysis is a compact, low-power consumption device that delivers high-quality signal analysis and generation, making it an essential tool for professionals in the television and video production industry.
