 | | New analysis option for the PHABRIX SxE with 3G eye and jitter The new analysis option for the PHABRIX SxE adds an additional jitter screen plus enhancements to the eye display and is focused toward broadcast manufacturers who have a need for high end analysis tools at an affordable price. This adds comprehensive new features to the PHABRIX SxE which benefits from the on-board toolset of the award winning PHABRIX SxA which includes a combined generator, analyser and monitor at 3G-SDI, HD-SDI and SD-SDI. The option includes advanced features such as histograms which provide statistical information used to accurately measure rise time, fall time and amplitude. These automatic accurate measurements can then be logged for extended periods of time. In addition to the standard timing and alignment jitter filters, decade filters are provided allowing an engineer to analyze the frequency content of any jitter present. The number of eyes displayed is adjustable from one eye up to one frame of eyes – a very useful feature for detecting source related power supply problems. Multiple eye selection also enables analysis when serializer jitter is present. The separate jitter analysis screen incorporated into the analysis option enables the engineer to analyze the nature of jitter present using a graph of jitter versus time. Again, the decade filters are present and the time base can be adjusted from 1 line through to 1 frame. By analyzing jitter in this detailed way an engineer can determine if a signal is in or out of specification and also get a feel for where any problems lie. Paul Nicholls, PHABRIX’s sales and marketing manager said; ‘ This new option for the equally new PHABRIX SxE is world class. Here we have innovative engineering at its very best – a portable eye and jitter measurement tool at 3G at a truly competitive price with no compromises on quality.’ The new eye and jitter analysis option is available in July 2009.
