The PHABRIX PHRX2000QC boasts two monitoring and control screens complete with HDMI/SDI output, making this an ideal instrument for outside broadcast facilities, engineering bays, and broadcast manufacturers. Confidence is assured with both video screen and instrumentation available at point of source with the simple touch of a button. The PHRX-2000-QC benefits from an angled, slim profile; it is lightweight, with a very low power consumption. Clever tilt-in-bay mechanical engineering allows the PHRX2000QC to be seen at various eye levels.

As budgets continue to be squeezed in broadcasting the PHRX2000QC range has been designed as a cost effective investment for test and measurement with the quality and reliability established by the PHABRIX brand.

The PHRX2000QC allows a flexible approach to configuring test and measurement on a new technological platform designed for longevity.

Software Options

The Rx2000 can be upgraded with additional software options. The PHRX2000QC comes with 3 such options activated: PHRXO-2CAP 2-Channel Closed Caption option allows up to 2 channels of closed caption to be displayed. This is allocated as 1 channel per Analyzer module.PHRXO-2LOU 2-Channel Loudness option allows up to 2 channels of loudness metering and monitoring to be performed by the Rx unit (1 loudness channel per Analyzer module).PHRXO-3G 3G-SDI Chassis Upgrade option adds 3G-SDI and advanced formats across all module slots. This option introduces a variety of new formats to the SD and HD standards available on the Rx platform.

The Platform

The PHRX2000QC range uses a PHABRIX 'layering' module which sits at the heart of the system. Here signals from each independent instrument on board are processed to provide a variety of instrument displays.

Unhindered by any processing restraints, the layer board provides an output display up to a staggering 1920 x 1080 pixels with perfect scaling via HDMI or SDI. In practice the PHRX2000QC acts like a T&M multi monitor providing scaled instruments over any selected video input.

The layer board also has provision for AES input. Bi/Tri level looping reference is a standard provision; a D26 way connector allows GPI, LTC control and analog audio.

Dual USB ports can be used for mouse and keyboard control.

TCP/IP Ethernet provides remote control access to the PHRX2000QC range using any web browser. It is also the method for updating firmware and software via PHABRIX's dedicated server. Simply select and forget for effortless upgrades.

Power is provided via a locking XLR input supporting an external 9-17V DC transformer. The system has an automatic 'last know configuration' fail safe should there be a power outage.

A super quiet fan assembly is temperature controlled to operate in extreme conditions thus reducing any distracting ambient fan noise.

Modules can be inserted into rail guided bays. Once inserted, the PHRX2000QC checks the identity of the module, then seamlessly incorporates it into the system.

The PHRX2000QC also supports SD-SDI and HD-SDI signals as standard.

Over 400 different formats can be analysed or generated by the PHRX2000QC including Dual-Link and 3G level A and B with 2K.

Modules

Each PHRX2000QC can be enhanced with different modules. Optical support is available using the onboard SFP where applicable. Modules include analysis with the addition of eye and jitter physical layer (if required). Generator modules offer the full range of industry standard SMPTE signals. Audio support includes AES, Dolby E, D, D+ and Pulse.

Operating system

The PHRX2000QC uses ultra reliable Linux as its operating system, providing a robust and stable core. This dedicated solution provides confidence that the PHRX2000QC will always be available throughout its 24/7 operation.
