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 Colour 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.

Compliance - it's what test and measurement is all about...isn't it?

Developing products or commissioning the latest equipment is more than just implementation. Equipment has to be tested against the required standards for it to be considered fit for purpose.

In the 12G-SDI world, noise floors are required to be much lower to ensure that accurate and meaningful measurements can be taken. Qx Series SDI generation and measurement technology has been specifically adapted for 12G applications. With its unique class leading SDI-STRESS toolset, sophisticated RTE™ (Real- Time Eye) multi-rate physical layer display, and automated SMPTE compliance measurements, the Qx Series offers a single product solution for SDI compliance verification.

If you are working in SMPTE ST 2110, with ST 2059 Precision Time Protocol (PTP), the IP-MEAS test suite provides a comprehensive set of tools for compliance verification and commissioning of your IP systems and equipment. Hardware-based timestamping locked to PTP ensures accurate realtime deterministic timing measurements of media flows and ST 2110-21 buffer models.

Platforms to suit every workflow

The Qx Series is available in two platforms, both with a common look and feel, providing an accessible user interface and intuitive toolsets for full operational flexibility and easy migration from an SDI to an IP centric operation.

The flexible architecture of both the Qx and QxL offers in-field license upgrades for SDI-UHD/4K, HDR, IP, AV test signal generation as well as engineering grade data view and ANC packet inspection tools. A factory fitted hardware option provides RTE™ realtime SDI eye and jitter analysis with the further option of a highly advanced SDI-STRESS toolset.

For real-time UHD IP workflows on 25G networks, the class leading QxL provides support for HD/3G 2110 and 2022-6 payloads on generic 10G/25G SFP28 interfaces as standard. The QxL is fully 10G/25G IP-enabled, with support for JT-NM TR 1001- 1:2018, ST 2110-20 (video), 2110-30 (PCM) and 2110-31 (AES transport) audio, 2110-40 ANC media flows, all with 2022-7 Seamless IP Protection Switching (SIPS).

Independent PTP slaves on both media ports are provided for fully redundant media network operation with AMWA NMOS IS-04 discovery and IS-05 device connection management. The option of UHD payloads, HDR, and IP-MEAS in-field license upgrades means that you can tailor your system to your current needs while retaining full flexibility for the future.

SDI BNC and SFP media interfaces are available as a factory fitted option. The SDI Eye and Jitter hardware option and the unique SDI-STRESS toolset provide all the tools for SDI physical layer analysis and compliance testing.

Simplicity - an interface that puts you in control

The Qx's innovative app style interface is a radical change from traditional test and measurement systems. Intuitive mouse control with context driven drop down menus hides the complexity of modern SDI and IP systems providing an uncluttered view of critical information. Instruments can be resized, the system auto presenting more information as the screen area permits.

The PHQXL01E-3G offers a fully flexible user-defined instrument layout, displaying up to 16 instruments on a single 1920x1080 display. Individual instruments can switch between 1/16th, 1/4 or full screen. With an output frame rate of 50, 50.94 or 60Hz to match the video format, the GUI has adjustable brightness for office or controlled lighting environments.

Standard Toolset

As standard, the Qx Series offers a flexible user-defined instrument layout displaying up to 16 simultaneous windows, and the ability to rapidly change between bespoke layouts for different operational tasks with user presets.
