3.2.5 Loop Test
This section describes the cable or repeater loop test feature to evaluate the quality of the HDMI cables.
It is important to note that in this mode the system generates video with random pixel values at its output and it
expects to see the exact same pixel data values at the input. It tallies the number of errors. Therefore if the video

PGA-VHD
10
transport is using any encoding or compression techniques, the loop test will result in huge errors since pixels are
modified (and delayed) by the encoder. You can use loop test for cables or extenders that do not modify pixel
values in anyway, such as most HDBaseT products or Hall Research’s 4K Javelin optical HDMI cables.
