PHABRIX's latest product on show at BVE London February 16-18 is the PHABRIX SxD, 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. Broadcaster manufacturers will find the new support for 3G particularly valuable as the debate increases on whether to use 3G level A or B in studios. The PHABRIX SxD actually supports over 250 different combinations of formats 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 SxD also supports the different colour spaces 4:2:2 YUV, 4:4:4 RGB, 4:4:4 YUV, at 10/12 bit. To support each dual link standard means the SxD has two inputs and two outputs with full CRC/EDH checking on each signal and logging though out any test procedures. Embedded audio checking is also available.

Paul Nicholls, PHABRIX’s sales and marketing manager commented; 'The PHABRIX SxD is the first hand held platform to offer such a complete variety of testing formats. The ergonomics of this instrument are such that many combinations of standards can be easily generated and analysed. Customers have welcomed the SxD's ability to generate from two outputs simultaneously for a variety of applications as varied as studio work and camera testing and of course 3D applications including the 3G level B'.
