1. INTRODUCTION
This HDMI Signal Generator & Analyzer is an advanced and handy tool for
generating, testing and verifying the signal path within your 18Gbps HDMI
ecosystem. With 90 built-in resolutions, 59 test patterns and dozens of A/V
analysis functions, this unit provides an enormous range of testing options.
HDMI data packet, EDID and HDCP analysis is supported along with EDID
upload and emulation. Additionally the SCDC (Status and Control Data
Channels) on the HDMI input and output can be directly monitored providing
for additional analysis options. Up to 8 channels of LPCM audio test tones
can be generated with a wide range of frequencies. This unit also supports
the ability to upload up to 2 user-generated graphic les which can be used
as additional test patterns.
The use of multi-function and multi-color backlit buttons allows for easy
operation of the unit’s wide variety of functions and a clear OLED display
provides a way to quickly view the current signal status information. In
addition to the front panel buttons, the unit can also be controlled via RS-
232, Telnet, and IR providing a complete range of control options.
