The Ancillary status option from PHABRIX provides broadcasters, studios, OB and broadcast manufacturers with a detailed analysis of the ancillary data present in a SDI signal.

A simple grid layout provides a quick check for an engineer of the available ancillary data present on the signal. The packet type is then displayed as present, absent or red if in fault. Simple icons next to the packet indicate the fault. The legend of each icon is defined across the bottom of the viewing window.

Each ancillary packet available from the grid view can be set to enable logging and presented together with other information in the events window of the main logging menu.
