980R Advanced Test Platform
980R with Video Generator modules
There are seven (7) modules currently available:
The 980 HDMI 1.4 Protocol Analyzer module supports deep analysis of HDMI and
MHL streams as well as HDMI and MHL compliance testing for source, sink,
repeater/dongle devices. For HDMI the tool provides full visibility into the HDMI
protocol, timing, control and auxiliary data up to 300MHz (HDMI). For MHL the module
supports analysis of MHL 1.2 and 2.0 source devices.
The comprehensive suite of HDMI and MHL compliance test tools are ideal for
pre-testing or self-testing (where permitted) your product prior to submission to an
Authorized Test Center for approval. This reduces costs and speeds time to market.
The 980 HDMI 2.0 Video Generator module supports video and audio functional and
compliance testing at data rates up to 600MHz for testing HDTVs with 4K x 2K
resolutions at 60Hz. The module features a single HDMI output and supports testing of
HDCP 2.2 for HDMI 2.0 sink devices.
The module supports HDMI-Forum approved compliance testing for HDMI 2.0 sink
devices. The compliance test tools are ideal for pre-testing or self-testing (where
permitted) your product prior to submission to an Authorized Test Center for approval
enabling you to get your product to market more quickly and with reduced expense.
The 980 HDMI 2.0 Protocol Analyzer module supports video and audio functional
and compliance testing at data rates up to 600MHz for testing HDTVs with 4K x 2K
resolutions at 60Hz. The module features a single HDMI input and supports testing of
HDCP 2.2 for HDMI 2.0 source devices.
The module supports HDMI-Forum approved compliance testing for HDMI 2.0 source
devices. The compliance test tools are ideal for pre-testing or self-testing (where
permitted) your product prior to submission to an Authorized Test Center for approval.
This reduces costs and speeds time to market.
The 980 HDMI 1.4 Video Generator module supports video and audio functional
testing at data rates up to 300MHz for testing HDTVs with 4K x 2K resolutions. The
module features two (2) HDMI outputs—both active simultaneously—for testing
HDTVs with multiple HDMI inputs.
The 980 DP1.2 Generator / Analyzer module supports video functional testing at link
rates up to 5.4Gb/s with 1, 2, or 4 lanes for testing high-end displays. The module
features two (2) DisplayPort 1.2 outputs—both active simultaneously—for testing
displays with multiple DisplayPort inputs. The module also supports Multi-Stream
Transport testing with support for up to 4 downstream MST Rx nodes. The DP 1.2
module’s optional Rx port supports two analyzer options for testing DP 1.2 source
devices: 1) Basic Analyzer –displays status of incoming DP 1.2 source video and
metadata, emulates a DisplayPort 1.2 display device including EDID and DPCD
emulation, Rx Link Training function and MST Rx function. 2) Protocol Analyzer
supports capture and storage of all main link video and metadata.
The 980 HDMI Phy & Protocol Aux Channel Analyzer module the tests DDC bus
compliance of the HDMI DDC bus voltage and timing parameters in accordance with
the HDMI 1.4b Clarification Version 1.04 –May 1, 2014.
The 980 MHL CBUS Compliance module enables you to conduct compliance tests
on your MHL devices in accordance with the MHL Compliance Test Specifications
(CTS) 1.2 and CTS 2.0. The 980's suite of compliance test applications are an ideal
solution for pre-testing MHL devices as they enable you to get your source, sink or
dongle product to market more quickly and to reduce the expense of re-testing at the
Authorized Testing Centers.
