Select EDID Analyze from the Sink Test Menu.
Touch the Learn from RX button to learn the EDID. The EDID will be saved in the NP-CKR-4K
input port.

10
LOOP TEST
NP-CKR-4K offers the unique estimator for evaluating the quality of cables or DUT. Users can simply
connect the cable to NP-CKR-4K to form a loop, the monitor will examine the HDMI bitstream pixel by
pixel. The measurement statistics will be displayed on screen and offer useful information for building up
robust A/V system.
Application illustration:
Procedure of Loop Test: *only support 1080p@60, 4K2K 30Hz and 4K2K 60Hz resolution
Make sure the connection between the NP-CKR-4K and the cables or DUT.
Select Loop Test from the Loop Test Menu.
Set the test time and touch the START button. The NP-CKR-4K will capture the signal from its
transmitter through the loop and evaluate the transmission quality.
The user interface of NP-CKR-4K will be locked until testing terminated. Unless user wants to break
off the test.
Judgement criteria:
