PHABRIX QxP hybrid IP/SDI Waveform Monitor

TEST AND MEASUREMENT INNOVATOR, PHABRIX, will present its new QxP nextgeneration waveform monitor on booth C4920 at the April 2023 NAB Show.

Inheriting the flexible architecture of the acclaimed QxL rasterizer, the QxP offers an integral 3U multi-touch LCD screen with integral V-Mount or G-mount battery plates for portability. Designed for all production workflows, whether HD, UHD, SDR, HDR, SDI or IP, remote or conventional, the QxP’s combined waveform monitor, generator and analyser tool sets are designed to meet the ever-changing demands of today’s hybrid environments. The QxP offers the latest in PHABRIX’s patented waveform technology, featuring a high-resolution image processing pipeline with support for deep color sources up to 12-bits, delivering all the fine detail needed for camera shading or image grading. Users can access a choice of overlay, stacked and parade display modes, with the option of multicolored, highlighted, green or monochrome traces. Nits scales and operation user-controlled nits markers are provided for SDR, HLG, PQ, S-Log3 and SR-live HDR formats. Rec 709 and Rec 2020 colorimetry is supported over the wide-range of YCbCr:422, RGB:444, SDI, 2110, SD/HD/2K/UHD/4K/ EUHD formats for which PHABRIX is renowned.

For real-time IP production, the QxP provides support for generation and analysis of HD/3G/UHD/EUHD 2110 payloads on generic SFP28/25GbE interfaces. The unit’s flexible architecture offers in-field engineering-grade data view and ANC packet inspection tools together with optional upgrades for SDIUHD/4K, 2110-UHD/4K 48-60p RGB (EUHD),

LiveU Boosts Efficiency in Live Productions

PHABRIX, WILL PRESENT its new QxP nextLiveU says it has seen amazing customer success stories over the past year enabled by innovative live IP video technology. Flexible workflows such as remote/decentralised production, and cloud-based management and distribution help to mitigate budget restraints to deliver high-quality, dynamic live content. The company is returning to NAB for the 14th year to share tangible ways that customers can reduce production costs, meet the increased demand for quality content and optimise the monetization of their content assets by leveraging cloud-based workflows. LiveU will demonstrate its complete suite of live video services – from contribution and production to distribution – as part of an enhanced live video production ecosystem. This is all built on LiveU’s field-proven LRT (LiveU Reliable Transport) protocol for low latency, high quality, and rock-solid resiliency. At NAB2023, LiveU will also be coming with a world-first production approach, leveraging LRT across the entire workflow.

Putting the customer in control, LiveU says its on-demand subscription solutions encompass

Appear’s Quantum Leap in SRT Performance

APPEAR, THE PROVIDER OF media processing and delivery solutions, has announced the launch of its hardware accelerated video transport technology over the SRT (Secure Reliable Transport) protocol, the open standard that enables media and entertainment organisations to transport high-quality video over costefficient Internet links. Appear’s hardware accelerated SRT technology will be launched on its X Platform at NAB Show 2023 (booth #W2512, April 15-19).

According to Thomas Bostrøm Jørgensen, CEO, Appear, “The quantum leap in video transport performance that our hardware accelerated SRT implementation now provides, enables media and entertainment companies to revolutionise efficiency, ROI and flexibility through transporting high-quality video over the Internet. If you’re moving video and both quality and cost matter, our SRT solutions can make significant reductions to your video transport OPEX costs.”

The X Platform SRT difference

Hardware accelerated SRT enables costeffective internet connections to make serious

OPEX savings. For example, in contribution, today’s existing SRT gateways can only support HEVC with a limited number of cameras before having to add more servers, while one SRTenabled Appear X Platform unit can support up to 22 UHD camera feeds. In distribution, Appear’s SRT solution provides the lowest cost for channel transmission over the public internet, enabling operators to confidently replace expensive satellite links and dedicated fiber circuits. Additionally, SRT empowers operators to reduce the transport budget of moving studio functionality such as media asset management to the cloud. In a single 1RU chassis, Appear’s X Platform as an SRT Gateway can handle more than 192 SRT connections and 18 Gbit/s throughput, saving space and power consumption at a much lower cost base. SRT also enables organisations to change the economics of migration to the cloud in their favour.

“Today’s Internet video transport server-based SRT solutions are simply not optimised for primetime; the Appear launch of hardware acceleration for SRT changes that forever,” said Thomas Lind, Director Product Management,

PCAP, Dolby E Decode, HDR, and AV test signal generation. A factory-fitted hardware option provides RTE ‘Real Time Eye’ and jitter SDI analysis with the further option of a highly advanced SDI-STRESS toolset.

Appear. “We expect long-tail content to rapidly move to SRT, while some higher value content will be transported using SRT alongside existing traditional transport links when it makes sense. Critically, Appear’s launch of high-density SRT solutions enables media & entertainment organisations to, at last, be able to align video transport costs with content value.”

Appear’s X Platform is used around the world for live contribution, remote production and distribution. The X Platform offers the ability to effortlessly blend encapsulation formats such as MPEG TS, ST2022-6, ST2110, Zixi and now high capacity SRT, with an equally impressive array of codecs and video processing functions. It is part of the company’s ground-to-cloud vision that allows you to use Appear’s X Platform to send signals from cameras at an event’s location to a cloud production platform, without the need to send a mobile unit and accompanying production team. In primary distribution, and video transport to and from the cloud, the platform enables costefficiency through transport over the Internet.
