Dual SDI Input/Output Analysis

The SxD is a dual-link 3G/HD/SD-SDI instrument which is designed for video technology manufacturing and production applications. It has two SDI inputs, two SDI outputs and no AES input or outputs. It offers support of multiple advanced video standards up to a combined maximum data rate of 3Gbits across the two SDI links, including 422/444, YUV/RGB, 10/12 bit and SMPTE 428-9 D-Cinema/SMPTE ST 2048-2:2011 formats.

The SxD also now offers automatic link detection of single links of multi-link 3G and HD based UHD formats.

SxD KEY FEATURES

EXTENSIVE VIDEO TOOLSET

With simultaneous signal generation and analysis, its built-in core toolset includes a multi-format waveform, vectorscope and video display, plus data view and VANC/ANC inspector. Over 350 formats are supported for compliance monitoring. Signal generation offers 32 test patterns, including pathological.

MULTI-CHANNEL AUDIO ANALYSIS

The SxD features support for 16-channel audio metering and bitstream generation and analysis of Dolby E, Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus.

AV DELAY GENERATION AND ANALYSIS

AV Delay Generation and Analysis offers an end-to-end solution for the measurement of Audio to Video differential delay through a broadcast system. The tool provides a realtime update of the differential delay between the video content and the selected audio channel pair to measure the propagation (latency) or pipeline delay.

ULTRA PORTABLE, RUGGED DESIGN

The SxD offers great mobility with a lightweight, rugged aluminium case with integral, high quality screen for instrument display and video monitoring. The generator/ analyzer operates via rechargeable lithium battery for up 2 hours, and can also be powered by the mains. The SxD is shipped with a PHABRIX Padded Carry Case as standard. 

ENHANCED REMOTE CONTROL

The SxD features a TCP/IP interface for remote control, automated testing, engineering support and fault analysis. Comprehensive status logging with custom reports, together with instrument picture capture to simplify fault finding is also included.

FAST, INTUITIVE OPERATION

With its color coded GUI that simplifies signal and instrument selection, the Sx Series of generation, analysis and monitoring instruments offer unmatched ease of use for busy engineers who need to diagnose faults and assure compliance quickly.
