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.
1Opening the Compartment: Use a small athead screwdriver to gently,
but rmly, press down into the slot 1behind the base panel and the
bottom cover will pop out.
2Removing the Battery: If a battery is already installed, a Mylar tab 2
will be visible beneath the battery. Pull on the Mylar tab to pop the battery
out of its holding brackets.
3Inserting 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.
4Closing the Compartment: After the battery has been properly inserted,
place the battery compartment cover back into the bottom of the unit by
rst tting the 2 small tabs on the cover into the 2 slots in the case and
then gently snapping the cover into place.
5Charging 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 o󰀨. Average operation time from a fully charged battery
is roughly 4 hours, but might be less depending on specic usage and
battery quality.
Note: A battery is not included in the standard package, however the
Panasonic NCR18650B (3.6V/3350mAh) Lithium-ion rechargeable
battery is recommended.
