South Korean over-the-top (OTT) service provider Coupang Play has invested in two Qx advanced rasterisers from Phabrix to expand its sports content offerings.
The requirement to measure the signal quality of overseas sports relay systems was the primary impetus for the investment in Phabrix equipment, which provided the ability to achieve a full range of day-to-day test and measurement (T&M) tasks, including event error logging, CC and SCTE104 monitoring, as well as loudness analysis.
Designed for HD/3G/6G/12-SDI and IP ST 2110/2022-7/2022-6 environments, the Qx brings together all the advanced T&M tools required for transitioning to the next generation of video formats.
Offering SDI as standard, the device provides core features such as picture view, waveform analyser, vectorscope, 32-channel audio metering and active noise cancellation (ANC) status. An optional IP toolset completes the specification of a solution that satisfies rapid-fault diagnosis, compliance monitoring and product development requirements.
Martin Mulligan, CEO, Phabrix, said, “It is wonderful to hear that the Coupang Play team is finding its Qx advanced rasterisers to be so powerful and capable for the QC requirements of its fast-growing international sports broadcasting portfolio.
“Designed to suit SDI, IP and hybrid environments, the Qx is a device whose capabilities can evolve in line with the changing requirements of the broadcaster.
“Sports is an area of content where premium quality is always a top priority, and we are delighted that Qx is now playing an integral part in Coupang Play’s T&M infrastructure.”
