1About the 980
This chapter provides an overview of features of the 980 HDMI Protocol Analyzer module and the 980 GUI
Manager. The 980 HDMI Protocol Analyzer module is an analyzer for HDMI/MHL source devices. It provides
visibility into the HDMI/MHL protocol to help resolve common interoperability problems in HDMI/MHL systems. The
980 GUI Manager is a PC application to manage and use the 980 HDMI Protocol Analyzer module and other 980
modules.
The module can be equipped in either of the 980 Advanced Test Platforms:
1) The 980B Advanced Test Platform –5-slot chassis with a 15 inch touch display.
2) The 980R Advanced Test Platform –5-slot chassis with a 7 inch touch display.
Note: The module is always equipped in the first slot of the 980 platform from the factory.
The 980 HDMI Protocol Analyzer module is able to parse HDMI streams from source devices with a TMDS clock
and pixel clock up to 300MHz.
1.1 What makes the 980 HDMI Protocol Analyzer Module Unique?
The 980 HDMI Protocol Analyzer module for HDMI or MHL source devices provides full visibility into the protocol,
timing, control and auxiliary data. It captures and decodes encrypted or unencrypted metadata (audio sample,
infoframes and other data packets) as well as DDC transactions and CEC messages (C-Bus transactions for
MHL).
Competitive “analyzers” available on the market are more limited because they utilize commercial silicon chips.
The 980 HDMI Protocol Analyzer module uses a proprietary solution and therefore can provide much greater
visibility into the protocol, timing and control data. The competitive “analyzers” support some of the 980 HDMI
Protocol Analyzer features but not nearly all of them. They support functional testing but not true interoperability

980 User Guide –HDMI HDCP 2.2 Compliance Rev. A2
Page 4 October 15, 2014
testing. Functional test “analyzers” often support only real time monitoring. The 980 module supports capture, store
and analysis as well as Real Time monitoring.
For these same reasons, the 980 HDMI Protocol Analyzer module can support all of the tests in the HDMI and
MHL source protocol compliance test specification. Functional test instruments cannot. For example, the 980
HDMI Protocol Analyzer supports all the source Protocol tests in Test 7-17 of the HDMI Compliance Test
Specification and the Basic Protocol source tests in the section 3.2.2.2 in the MHL Compliance Test Specification
related to control periods, preamble and guard bands. Similarly the 980 HDMI Protocol Analyzer module can
measure the audio sample rate precisely and therefore measure audio jitter correctly. Functional test instruments
cannot support these tests correctly.
1.2 Scope of this User Guide
This User Guide provides descriptive and procedural information on the HDMI HDCP 2.2 compliance test option.
Although you can run the compliance tests through the 980 HDMI Protocol Analyzer’s “embedded GUI,” all the
examples used in the procedures in this document are taken from the external standalone PC 980 GUI Manager.
The procedures are identical between the embedded GUI running through the 980 front panel display and the
external standalone PC application but the look and feel is slightly different.
