Options
Please see separate options sheet for available
engineering upgrade features.
OPTION SDI Data Display
The SDI Data Display option provides the engineer with
a detailed view of the data words contained within the
SDI stream. This allows the analysis of complex faults
and is particularly useful when determining compatibility
issues between equipment and when debugging new
product developments within an R&D environment.
Detail within the active SDI stream can be viewed with
continuous update. Analysis can be obtained from the
generated or received SDI stream allowing quick
comparison checks.
A number of screen displays are provided for analysis.
GRID
With reference to pixels at the top of the screen and
lines along the left side of the screen, users can look
within an x, y grid of pixel and ancillary data. Samples
can be viewed as 8 or 10 bit, hex or decimal. Navigation
is simple and fast using the thumb pad with the selected
value highlighted in white. A separate entry box allows a
specific line and sample to be selected. Both the
background and foreground text colours are coded for
ease of identification. The background colour at any
time represents the FVH bits within the TRS words. In
this way the operator can determine if a data element is
active picture, vertical blanking, horizontal blanking,
field 1, field 2 or TRS. The foreground colour gives an
indication of the type of pixel data being viewed – Y, Cb,
Cr, R, G or B.
STREAM
This allows the SDI continuous stream to be viewed.
SD-SDI signals are represented by a 10 bit stream and
HD/3G-SDI by a 20 bit stream. A further column
provides information to aid the user in identifying data
types.

window sections and highlighted value selected.

COMPONENT
AVAILABLE FOR
• PHABRIX® SxA
The component view splits the display into 3 columns
displaying Y,Cb and Cr data as10/8 bit, hex or decimal.
• PHABRIX® SxD
SPLIT
This mode splits the SDI stream further into the
components ‘Cb Y Cr Y’ as 10/8 bit, binary, hex or
decimal.
ANCILLARY DATA
This separate window allows the user to capture whole
Ancillary data packets identified by their data id (DID).
Entering a known DID value or by selecting its
descriptive text, the Ancillary packet will be continuously
displayed if present within the SDI signal.
Data values containing errors found will be displayed in
red text.
The data may be frozen on screen once captured.
There is also a freeze on error check box.
Option code PHSXOSD
• PHABRIX® SxE
• PHABRIX® Rx
OPTION Command Scripts
This option allows a series of pre-defined actions to be
run through within the PHABRIX Sx using a script
stored in internal memory.
It can be used to automatically step through a sequence
of instrument states, controlling the generator, analyser
and logging functions. If required the instrument will
prompt the user before going onto a subsequent state.
Applications include repeated test sequences as
required by manufacturer Test Departments, R&D
Departments, Systems Integrators and Commissioning/
Support Engineers.
A script requires a set of memories to configure the unit
and then a script file which recalls those memories and
specifies times and actions for each step. The process
of creating a command script requires these two files to
activate the sequence.
Additionally a script can be created as a simple text file
on a PC and then transferred to the unit via Ethernet
and recalled at any time. A large number of named
scripts and memories may co-exist within the
instruments store to be recalled as required.
Examples of the commands available for scripting are
as follows:
STEP ACTIONS
Recall memory
Check in/out errors
Prompt user
Loads the memory specificed
in the memory field
Check for EDH/CRC errors in
the step Time. Errors will be
sent to the log file
Requires action from the
operator to continue
Enable/Disab le event Activates or disables the log file
Clear error counts
Clears all EDH/CRC errors
Pause
Defines a wait time
Loop
Allows the script to run until
stopped. The loop count shows
how long the script has been
running in time and loops

OPTION Enhanced Remote Control
This option gives users full remote control of the unit via
TCP/IP Sockets to allow any aspect of the unit to be
modified or queried.
This allows quite complex applications to be created to
perform test and measurement functions such as automated
testing of routers or other broadcast equipment.
PHABRIX products act as a server and listen on a port
waiting for incoming requests from clients such as a PC.
Using this method of communication the Sx range can
provide a variety of information to the control device it is
connected to and be controlled in specified areas of the
product using the command details included.
All visual controls on the product have an associated
command. Messages may be sent to ‘set’ or ‘get’ data from
a command i.e. if you ‘set’ a value the unit will be configured
accordingly and a reply returned and if you ‘get’ a value
from the PHABRIX unit it will reply with that value. All
messages are acknowledged to increase the security of the
interface i.e. closed loop communication.
Remote control interface
FEATURE HIGHLIGHTS
• TCP/IP SOCKETS PROTOCOL
System logger screen: Multiple units can be logged and
sorted by Date/Time, User, Unit, IP Address or Type.
• ACTIVE/PASSIVE CONTROL
• ‘SET’ AND ‘GET’ COMMAND
• PROGRAMMING GUIDE
The control structure can be selected as Passive or
Active.
Passive control allows simple remote control where the
host PC is in control and sends commands when it
wants to change data or get information. It is this
method which is the most popular use for remote
control.
Active control is when the PHABRIX unit synchronizes
with the host PC. Any changes on the PHABRIX unit
will result in a message being sent to the host PC. This
method is useful for controlling a PHABRIX unit from
another unit or via the PC simulator software. It requires
more complex software on the host to respond to the
returned messages.
The option provides a programming guide with
command information and examples on a CD. A
Windows™ application for testing the interface is also
provided as part of this option.

OPTION Programmable Zone Plate
The programmable zone plate option is now available
for the Sx range. This new option adds a range of preprogrammed zone plate patterns along with user
defined controls over several parameters which can be
saved to custom buffers. Using the Main menu >
memories window, multiple saves of zone plates can be
saved to the system by checking the video box and
saving by name.
In use the zone plate can be used to test a range of
video processing requirements using horizontal, vertical
and temporal (time) controls. Temporal control is
particularly useful for testing up/down converters and
applications which compress signals. Aspect ratios can
be tested using the horizontal and vertical controls.
Frequency sweep is particularly useful and also
available using this option. By feeding in the signal
generated, the output of the device can be sent back
into the Sx’s waveform monitor to determine the usable
bandwidth of the system.
Once purchased, the zone plate editor is reached by
selecting the button next to the standard zone plate.
