1. INTRODUCTION
This portable HDMI Signal Generator & Analyzer provides a convenient
way to test and verify all aspects of an HDMI signal path, including
source and sink. This unit complies with the HDMI 2.0a and HDCP 1.4/2.2
standards. The unit’s Analyzer mode complies with the CEA standard
HDR static metadata extensions CEA-861-F and CEA-861.3 for EDID
analysis.
The unit is powered by a single rechargeable Lithium-ion battery
(not included). Beyond the Lithium-ion battery, the unit may also be
powered (and the battery recharged) via the micro USB port. An
external power bank can also be used to extend the portable service
time. 4K sources can be scaled down to 1080p output in Analyzer
mode to support a wider range of displays when analyzing high-
bandwidth sources.
The unit has an integrated OLED display which provides a way to
quickly and clearly view the current signal state or the results of
signal analysis. This portable handheld design is ideal for both the
professional end user and installation engineer alike.

6.3 Battery Compartment
While this unit may be powered
directly via the USB port, it is more
typically powered by a rechargeable
Lithium-ion battery (not included)
which is concealed within the bottom
of the unit.
AOpening the Compartment:
1behind the base
panel and the bottom cover will pop out.
BRemoving the Battery: If a battery is already installed, a Mylar tab
2will be visible beneath the battery. Pull on the Mylar tab to pop
the battery out of its holding brackets.
CInserting the Battery: Turn the unit so that it is face down and align
the battery so that the positive terminal of the battery (marked
with a +) is aligned with the positive (+) marking on the right-hand
side on the back of the battery compartment. Extend the Mylar
tab out of the battery compartment, then place the battery on
top of the extended tab and slide the battery into the unit until it
snaps into the holding brackets as shown in the illustration.
DClosing the Compartment: After the battery has been properly
inserted, place the battery compartment cover back into the
the 2 slots in the case and then gently snapping the cover into
place.
ECharging the Battery: Connect a USB charger (5V/2.1A minimum)
to the USB port to charge the unit’s battery until it is full. The
typical charging time, from empty to full, is approximately 3 hours
while the unit’s power is off. Average operation time from a fully
charged battery is roughly 4 hours, but might be less depending
Note: A battery is not included in the standard package,
however the Panasonic NCR18650B (3.6V/3350mAh) Lithium-ion
rechargeable battery is recommended.
