Loop Test
BG-AVTPG-4K offers a unique estimator for evaluating the quality of cables or devices
under test. Users can simply connect the cable or device under test to BG-AVTPG-4K to
form a loop, the monitor will examine the HDMI bitstream pixel by pixel. The measurement
statistics will be displayed on screen and offer useful information for building a robust A/V
system.
Procedure of Loop Test: *only support 1080p@60, 4K2K 30Hz and 4K2K 60Hz resolutions
●Ensure the connection between the BG-AVTPG-4K and the device under test or
cables are fully connected.
●Select Loop Test from the Loop Test Menu.
●Set the test time and touch the START button. The BG-AVTPG-4K will capture the
signal from its transmitter through the loop and evaluate the transmission quality.
●The user interface of BG-AVTPG-4K will be locked until testing is terminated.
●Judgement criteria:

BZBGEAR BG-AVTPG-KIT PRODUCT MANUAL
Cable Mode
In this mode, BG-AVTPG-MINI offers a link
quality estimator using a Character Error
Detection mechanism to HDMI 2.0
specifications. The estimator can provide a
basic link quality evaluation regarding the
cable or any other HDMI link connected to
BG-AVTPG-MINI.
Please note that the evaluation result can
provide an insight into the link quality under
testing but it does not always reflect the real
robustness of an HDMI 2.0 full bandwidth
connection.
The stability of the full bandwidth of an HDMI
2.0 connection is affected not only by the
cable or link quality but many other factors
such as the signal integrity of the source, the
ambient temperature, the reception of the
display, and so on. Therefore the testing
results are just for reference.
How to run Cable Mode:
●Ensure a tight connection between the BG-AVTPG-MINI and the cable.
●Use the buttons to select the MODE category and enter CABLE mode.
●Keep pressing ENTER button for about 5 seconds to start the link test. The
BG-AVTPG-MINI will evaluate the HDMI signal quality based on HDMI 2.0
specifications and provide a result, PASS or NG. Please note that during testing the
BG-AVTPG-MINI will NOT take any commands from the buttons except ENTER.
Pressing ENTER continuously for 5 seconds will terminate the evaluation process.
