1. INTRODUCTION
This portable HDMI Signal Generator & Analyser 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 Analyser
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 Analyser mode to support a wider range of displays when analysing 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.
