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.
