The QxP joins stocks of Qx and QxL rasterizers and handheld Sx instruments in the global R&D, manufacturing and test departments of Grass Valley.
Grass Valley has purchased the Phabrix QxP portable waveform monitor. This latest addition complements Grass Valley’s extensive inventory of Phabrix test and measurement (T&M) equipment, including Qx and QxL rasterizers and handheld Sx instruments, deployed across its global R&D, manufacturing, and test departments.
Grass Valley, renowned for its collaboration with 90% of the world’s major media brands, is continuously pushing boundaries in research and development across diverse media environments. The decision to integrate the QxP portable waveform monitor into its arsenal underscores Grass Valley’s commitment to ensuring optimal performance and reliability in its production switchers, particularly in outputting both IP and SDI formats.
The Phabrix QxP portable waveform monitor inherits the renowned features and flexibility of the QxL rasterizer, boasting a 3U multitouch LCD screen, integral V-Mount or G-Mount battery plate, integral mains PSU, and 12v external DC input. Its capabilities include 12G SDI and 25G IP ST 2110 compliance monitoring, making it a suitable solution for a wide range of SDI, IP, and hybrid engineering and production environments.
Dustin Mooers, IP Media Lab Manager at Grass Valley, said: “Grass Valley continues to support the broadcast industry in our R&D efforts to design and manufacture production switchers that input and output both IP and SDI formats. To that end, we chose the Phabrix QxP – whose specifications aligned with our requirements – to add to our engineering test department.”
Martin Mulligan, CEO of Phabrix, commented: “Grass Valley has been a leading force in broadcast & media solutions development for more than six decades, so it’s a real badge of pride for PHABRIX that GV is a long-term customer of our advanced T&M products. Having already made extensive use of the Qx and QxL rasterizers, the decision to invest in a QxP reflects the continuing need to produce high-quality production equipment that can cope equally well with SDI and IP. The QxP will be an invaluable tool for GV as it continues to cater to the full range of production environments, including those many hybrid facilities using both legacy and newer production formats.”
Phabrix will join its parent company, Leader Electronics, at the NAB 2024 booth.
