PHABRIX Rx range takes off for NAB NAB 2014 is an important year for PHABRIX. The company is releasing its V9 software for its Rx rack mount rasterizer series adding a lot more features within a price range which is sure to tempt many broadcasters. It also has the new TAG handheld on display, an innovative low cost test and measurement instrument supporting SDI, analogue and optical interfaces. Priced at $3495 this will attract a lot of attention on the stand N6113.
The rack mount Rx has many innovative design elements, an inbuilt screen, modular cards, SDI and HDMI output, remote control via TCP/IP, low power, slim profile even desktop feet for R&D use. There are three instruments in the range, the Rx2000 with two video/instrument inbuilt screens and the Rx1000 and Rx500 with OLED control screens. Each have a rasterized output i.e. to an output monitor of your choice HDMI or SDI.
The provision of an inbuilt OLED display on the Rx1000 and Rx500 helps both an installer and an operator in many ways. Firstly the rasterizer can be set up without having a screen attached and secondly the GUI is such that the menus presented are in simple English. Once the desired configuration of instruments have been set this can be saved into one of 99 presets. Pressing any one of the 6 preset buttons under the OLED instantly activates the display. At the touch of a button an engineer can choose all the video tools, audio tools or a customised view of 16 instruments from any channel.
The Rx can display 8 channels, 4 simultaneously and these can be connected either by SDI or optical via an SFP cage in each module.
When it comes to rasterized output the Rx range can support many instruments simultaneously. Connected to a monitor capable of 1920 x 1080 pixel display, any of the instruments can be selected and arrange in basic Quads all the way up to 16ths providing a multi-viewer of instruments. Viewed on a large monitor in a MCR environment proves the value of so many test and measurement instruments on display at the same time. The Rx can tile instruments over instrument or video which can be very useful. For example the video image can be displayed over the top of 3 instruments such as a waveform, vectorscope and audio. If a problem is flagged, a simple double click of the mouse on the image reduces the size of it exposing the instruments to diagnose the fault. Equally a double click on the video will make it full screen.
The Rx instruments has many more unique features. By adding 4 physical layer modules, 4 simultaneous eye patterns can be displayed. PHABRIX claims no other solution can offer this feature and nowhere near the price. Closed caption support is also handled well with the Rx able to display two windows of CC i.e. 608 next to 708 for checking along with OP47.
Traditionally broadcasters have used two boxes to support test and measurement, one for video and one for audio. In PHABRIX s latest release a considerable number of audio tools have been added to allow a one box solution as with the recent install of 8 Rx1000 s into Malaysian broadcaster ASTRO. Lissajous, 16 channel audio meters, Full Dolby decode, loudness have also been added for NAB. Interestingly the PHABRIX RX rasterizers can be controlled via KVM connected mouse and keyboard enabling units to be sited in the machine room and share the resource around the studios with whisper quietness. Remote control via any standard browser plus logging across multiple inputs certainly puts PHABRIX as one to visit at NAB.
