The optional Phabrix PHQXL01E-3G instrument Eye - SDI in A, available in the Physical Layer Analysis toolset, enables you to analyze physical layer compliance measurements at up to 12 Gbps. An analog front-end provides a bandwidth of more than 30 GHz (5th harmonic of the 6 GHz fundamental for 12G-SDI.) The GUI uses PHABRIX RealTime Eye (RTE) to generate a reliable, AC coupled, instantaneous physical layer display with automatic measurements to SMPTE standards.
You can receive accurate measurements within seconds of connecting an SDI signal. The unit enables you to measure both rise and fall overshoot at the top and bottom of the waveform. In addition, the unit displays amplitude, rise and fall overshoot delta and DC offset - all compulsory measurements when testing against SMPTE standards. The unit highlights any measurements exceeding the specification (for example, an eye amplitude greater than 10 %) in red.
Analyzer/Generator - Simultaneous Operation
The PHQXL01E-3G provides Generation and Analysis toolsets that can be used simultaneously either manually or under REST API control, enabling automated closed-loop testing of a wide range of standards and HD/3G/6G/12G-SDI formats for engineering regression testing and manufacturing. With a full suite of SDR Rec. BT 709/2020, plus native and mapped Wide Color Gamut (WCG) HDR patterns in HLG, PQ, S-Log3 and SR-Live formats, you are equipped for flexible broadcast SDR and HDR operation.
Generator and Analyzer video format, colorimetry and transfer function can all be configured independently. You have the full flexibility to simultaneously send out a UHD Rec BT.2100 HDR pattern with up to 128 channels of audio, and analyze the down-converted, down-mapped HD SDR Rec 709 return at the same time.
