NEP Group acquires around thirty Phabrix rasterizers

NEP U.S has made a significant investment in thirty rasterizers Phabrix High-end Rx 2000 to support professional soccer broadcasts from mobile units in the United States.

The Rx 2000 offers up to 4 analysis and monitoring channels 2K/3G/HD/SD-SDI video/audio (dual inputs per analyzer) and can also provide signal generation. They can be presented up to 16 instruments simultaneously for video analysis and eye/jitter testing via an external display, while instrument and video monitoring can be performed via integrated dual displays and audio speakers.

The impetus for purchasing NEP was the need to verify and validate signals during the company's work covering matches across the country. In addition to allowing the fast and efficient signal generation and testing From central points in the operating systems, rasterizers provide a wealth of accurate information to broadcast engineers and operational staff on-site at each match.

Scott Nardelli, senior vice president of Integrated Solutions at NEP U.S. Broadcast Services comments that "the systems used by the league for game day operations are critical and support refereeing, injuries, training and other aspects, so they must be fully operational on the day. Having the appropriate testing equipment at each of the venues is essential to achieve the goal of 100% uptime without interruption to game operations. We were already familiar with the capabilities of the Phabrix equipment and are confident that the rasterizers will be beneficial for our production for broadcasts.”

Entre las ventajas de utilizar los Rx 2000 se encuentran una mayor precisión en la resolución de problemas y el diagnóstico de incidencias, y la posibilidad de reducir costes al resolver los problemas más rápidamente cuando los técnicos están in situ.

Phillip Adams, fundador y CEO de Phabrix, señala que “los partidos de fútbol se encuentran constantemente entre los eventos deportivos más vistos en Estados Unidos y en todo el mundo, por lo que es un gran honor que nuestros rasterizadores Rx 2000 hayan sido elegidos por NEP para probar y verificar las señales en las sedes de todo Estados Unidos. La inversión de NEP en más de 30 unidades confirma su confianza en las capacidades de los rasterizadores y en la propia marca PHABRIX. Estamos encantados de que nuestra tecnología haya añadido un nivel más de fiabilidad ayudando a la capacidad de NEP para apoyar a los broadcasters y creadores de contenidos de esta liga tan querida”.
