Phabrix will reveal the latest developments in its modular Rx rack mount range for test and measurement at NAB. With multiple units being configured for use in installations ranging from engineering bays, OB trucks and broadcast manufacturing, the Rx modular system is fast becoming a first choice for T&M where budgets are tight and feature requirements are high. Capable of displaying multiple channels with the additional of easy fit modules, the Rx can be configured with generators and analysers including the additional capability of eye pattern automated measurement, a feature that Phabrix has continued to develop since it was first released its Sx handheld instruments in 2009. All of its instruments are SD/HD compliant with an option to support 3G-SDI. Phabrix has also announced the release of loudness support for the Rx range. Available as a free upgrade to existing units, Phabrix claims to be unique in offering an additional loudness option to extend the loudness monitoring capability of the Rx to four separate channels – a world’s first for multi-channel simultaneous monitoring, it says. With the move to conform to strict audio standards and culpability for broadcasters worldwide, the loudness toolsets offered include recording for momentary, short term and integrated audio metering with an additional range figure. Loudness can be checked in ITU, ATSC or EBU mode with mono, stereo and 5.1 surround clearly displayed in large instruments. N4833
