The Rx2000 system consists of a Main Unit and a variety of modules allowing the user extreme flexibility in system design. The main unit (Rx2000) is housed in a 19” 2RU standard rack mount and provides space for up to 4 modules. The instrument provides 2 x 4.3” screens; one is used for picture/source identification and the other screen for control and test screens. As well, the Rx2000 also provides a full resolution rasterized HD-SDI output enabling you to see your test screens in full 1080 x 1920 resolution. And, since the output is HD-SDI, you can effortlessly route your test screens to any point in your facility.
The Rx2000 main unit supports the HD-SDI and SD-SDI functions of installed modules; adding 3G support requires the PHRX03G option; this option is part of the main unit and all Phabrix SDI related options support 3G-SDI as long as the main unit has the PHRX03G option installed.
Modules offered:- Rx-A Dual Input, Single Channel Module: Dual input analyzer provides waveform, vector, picture and status displays in various screen combinations. The Rx-A can only show one source at a time and can accept the Rx-EA Eye Pattern Mezzanine module.
- Rx-2A Dual Input, Dual Channel Module: Similar to the Rx-A above, the Rx-2A can show two SDI sources simultaneously.
- Rx-G Single Channel, Single Generator Module: Similar to the Rx-A above, the Rx-GA adds a single output generator. The Rx-GA includes an analyzer and generator in one module and can accept the Rx-EA Eye Pattern Mezzanine module.
- Rx-EA Eye & Jitter Module: Eye pattern mezzanine module provides eye pattern and jitter measurement capabilities to the Rx2000. This option does not take up a slot; it actually installs on the Rx-A, Rx-2A and Rx-GA modules and provides eye pattern and jitter measurement capabilities for the signals being analyzed by these modules.
- Rx-G Single Generator Module: Multi-format SDI generator provides a variety of test patterns, control over embedded audio signal generation and allows the use of bitmaps to upload your own test pattern.
- Rx-2G Dual Generator Module: Multi-format SDI generator similar to the Rx-G above but provides 2 outputs enabling dual link and 3D (2 x HD-SDI signals) operation.
Options offered:- Rx-03G 3G-SDI Compatibility: Adds 3G-SDI compatibility to the Rx2000 Main Unit. Once this option is added to the Rx2000, all SDI related Phabrix modules will also be compatible with 3G-SDI (in addition to HD/SD-SDI which is standard).
- Rx-OEA Advanced Eye & Jitter Option: The Advanced Eye & Jitter option requires the presence of the Eye Pattern module (Rx-EA). This advanced measurements option provides an additional jitter screen and several enhancements to the eye pattern display; it is primarily focused toward broadcast equipment laboratories and manufacturing facilities who have the need for high-end analysis tools.
- Rx-OSD SDI Analysis Option: The SDI analysis option
provides the engineer with a detailed view of the data words
contained within the SDI stream. This allows the analysis of
complex faults and is particularly useful when determining
compatibility issues between equipment and when debugging new
product developments within an R&D environment. Detail within
the active SDI stream can be viewed with continuous update.
Analysis can be obtained from the generated or received SDI
stream allowing quick comparison checks.
- Rx-OS Command Scripts With Print Reports: This option
allows a series of pre-defined actions to be run through within
the PHABRIX Sx using a script stored in internal memory. It can
be used to automatically step through a sequence of instrument
states, controlling the generator, analyzer and logging
functions. A print report feature allows an internal html form
to be auto filled with parameters set and subsequently
downloaded and printed.
- Rx-OZ Programmable Zone Plate: This option adds a range of
pre-programmed zone plate patterns along with user defined
controls over several parameters which can be saved to custom
buffers. In use the zone plate can be used to test a range of
video processing requirements using horizontal, vertical and
temporal (time) controls. Temporal control is particularly
useful for testing up/down converters and applications which
compress signals. Aspect ratios can be tested using the
horizontal and vertical controls.
- Rx-OF Advanced Formats For Rx-A and Rx-GA: This
option introduces a variety of new formats to the standard set
of 76 currently available. The new formats include 4:2:2 YUV,
4:4:4 RGB and 4:4:4 YUV at 10/12 bit and 3G level A and B. For
broadcast manufacturers the new option allows rigorous testing
of many more formats, beyond the standard signals used in
traditional broadcasting. Among the support for 3G level B is
the ability to generate and analyze signals such as SMPTE 425-B
carrying 1 x 372M dual link payload.
- Rx-OBD Dolby E Analysis: This option allows the display of Dolby-E meta data present in a selected audio stream and determines whether the Dolby-E packet is timed correctly on the SDI video stream. The Dolby-E may be monitored from any of the SDI input embedded audio channel pairs or the AES input. In use the start menu window displays both the V Bit information and PCM values along with a snapshot of the Dolby E metadata if a Dolby E signal is present. The peak audio levels included in the Dolby-E meta data packet are displayed on the Analyzer Audio Meters page.
- Rx-XOL Loudness Metering: Provides essential measurement
features for monitoring and analyzing audio loudness.
- Rx-OVNC Ancillary Status: Monitors and reports issues in
the Vanc/Hanc areas of SDI signals.
