PHABRIX Launches QxP – The Portable QxL

PHABRIX has announced the launch of a portable Qx Series instrument in the form of the brand new QxP.

Inheriting the flexible architecture and extensive workflow support of the acclaimed QxL rasterizer, the QxP incorporates a 3RU multi-touch 1920 x 1200 7” LCD screen and is equally at home on-set in SDR/HDR, grading and shading applications, as well as in QC, MCR, engineering and R&D environments.

The latest addition to the Qx Series, the QxP’s extensive feature-set is headlined by its capacity for 25GbE UHD IP workflows, and its suitability for portable operation thanks to an optional V-mount battery plate. Incorporating touchscreen control, and external HDMI for a rasterizer output with up to 16 instruments, the QxP has been designed to provide all of the capabilities require for flexibility and ease of configuration when working with both existing and emerging production infrastructures. Hence the QxP is suitable for workflows involving HD, UHD, SDR, HDR, SDI and IP, as well as conventional and remote productions.

Underlining its readiness for next-generation workflows, the QxP comes with extensive IP support including SMPTE ST 2110 and 2022-6, along with compatibility with a wide range of 444 and 422, YUV and RGB video formats. For real-time IP production, the unit provides support for generation and analysis of HD/3G/UHD/EUHD 2110 payloads on generic SFP28/25GbE interfaces. SDI users are also catered for with an SDI option for hybrid SDI/IP applications and a fully-featured SDI toolset with audio, Dolby-detect and DATA view included as standard.

Delivering class-leading waveforms in a highly compact form factor, the QxP is set to appeal to both new and existing Qx Series customers working on-set or in studio, post-production and research environments.
