connect the cable or DUT to MH-5005 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 MH-5005 and the DUT or cables.
Select Loop Test from the Loop Test Menu.
Set the test time and touch the START button. The MH-5005 will capture the signal from its
transmitter through the loop and evaluate the transmission quality.
The user interface of MH-5005 will be locked until testing terminated. Unless user wants to break off
the test.
Judgement criteria:
Test Result Definition
Pass The value of Bit Error Rate is less than 1
Fail The Bit Error Rate is more than 1
*PLUGGING HDMI CABLE WILL INFLUNCE THE TESTING RESULT, SO PLEASE SETTLE
DOWN THE CONNECTION BEFORE STARTING RUNNING TEST.
