The Phabrix PHSXDL Portable Dual-Link 3G/HD/SD-SDI Generator, Analyzer and Video/Audio Monitor is a multi-format combined generator, analyser and monitor designed for post production, studio, camera and projector testing and measurement at SD-SDI, HD-SDI and 3G-SDI. The Phabrix PHSXDL has been designed as a dual input dual output varient of the popular Phabrix SxA.

The Phabrix PHSXDL offers dual link as standard in addition to the SxA and SxE formats increasing the formats available to over 350 different combinations including the new SMPTE 372M allowing testing for bit-rates of 2.970 Gbit/s, and 2.970/1.001 Gbit/s over two wires able to carry 1080p video.

The Phabrix PHSXDL also supports the different colour spaces 4:2:2 YUV, 4:4:4 RGB, 4:4:4 YUV, at 10/12 bit. The PHSXDL has two inputs and two outputs with full CRC/EDH checking on each signal and logging. Embedded audio checking is also available. The Phabrix PHSXDL is the first hand held platform to offer such a complete variety of testing formats capable of generating any combination of formats from two outputs simultaneously for a variety of applications as varied as studio work and camera testing to 3D applications including the 3G level B.

Ancillary Data Status

The Ancillary Status option (PHSXOVNC) provides broadcasters, studios, OB and broadcast manufacturers with a detailed analysis of the ancillary data present in an SDI signal.

A simple grid layout provides a quick view check for an engineer of the available VANC/ANC ancillary data. The packet type is then displayed as present, absent or red if in fault. Simple icons next to the packet indicate the fault. Each ancillary packet available from the grid view can be set to enable logging and then presented together with other information in the events window of the logging menu. This option further allows additional 'user-defined' selections with the appropriate DID or SDID code. Any ancillary packet code can be saved down for future recall. Please note, this option does not fully decode the ancillary data. It is used to identify if the packet is present in the signal.
