INTRODUCTION
Product Description
UCD-400 is a high speed, USB 3.0 connected video interface test unit. UCD Console is the
common graphical user interface (GUI) for Unigraf’s UCD-400 and UCD-300 family units.
The outlook and details of UCD Console will be different depending on the capabilities of
the connected unit reflecting the features enabled.
UCD-400 units feature a high-level Software Development Kit (SDK) for use in automated
testing. It is called Test Software Interface (TSI). TSI allows for an easy integration of
Production and R&D testing routines into an automated test system environment. Please
refer to TSI documentation found in additional Unigraf manuals for more details.
Product Features
•High resolution video and audio capture up to 8K 30 Hz, 4K / UHD 120 Hz
•Supports HBR3 feature of DP 1.4
•Compatible with HDCP versions 1.3 and 2.2
•2 GB on-board high-speed video buffer
•High speed USB 3.0 host PC interface
Please refer to Product Specifications in the appendix of this document for details.
Functional Description
UCD-400 units consist of a multimedia signal input stage, an internal pattern generator, a
control stage with on-board frame buffer and a PC interface stage. In the Input Stage the
signal is conditioned and converted to desired format. The Interface and Control stages are
either passing the captured data directly to the USB interface or storing it to the frame
buffer. The internal pattern generator is able to source a signal for testing sink and branch
units. The Interface & Control stages are receiving instructions from the host PC to
configure and control the functionality of the unit.

LICENSE MANAGER
Licensing
The features of UCD Console GUI are divided into groups based on the target use of the
device. Some basic features can be used without licenses. Advanced feature groups have
their dedicated licenses that open the related part of the GUI or enable the related control.
Unigraf licenses are provided as strings of characters, License Keys. Each License Key
enables a dedicated function in one device. Each device has its dedicated Seed Number.
Each License Key is tied to one Seed Number. License Keys can be freely used in any
number of PCs
License keys are managed with Unigraf License Manager. By default, shortcut to Unigraf
License Manager can be found in Start Menu under: All programs/Unigraf/UCD-400.
Please click Yes in the first dialog. License Manager can be run only with Administrator
rights.
Note: System administrator's privileges are required for accessing the licenses.
License Manager GUI
When run, License Manager will list the licensing enabled Unigraf devices. If no suitable
device families are detected, License Manager will exit. Please first select one of the
available device families by clicking one of the device family selector buttons.
In the list of Attached Devices please select the device in question. You can find the serial
number and the seed number of your device in a sticker attached to the bottom of your

Managing Licenses
Seed Number
Each license is tied to a hardware unit with the help of the Seed Number. Each unit has a
unique Seed Number. You can find the Seed Number of the selected unit in the top of the
dialog.
The Seed Number link in the dialog will allow you to copy & paste the Seed Number of the
selected device for e.g. ordering Licenses.
Adding New License Keys
To add a new license key for a device, please enter the characters from the license sticker to
the boxes provided. The License Manager will automatically move the caret across the edit
boxes as you type. If you have the key in text format, copy it and paste to the leftmost box.
Once the license key is fully entered, click the Install. The license is authenticated and if it
is valid, the license will appear in the list of installed licenses. If the key fails to
authenticate, an error message is displayed. If this happens, please make sure that you have
typed the key correctly and that the seed number on the license key sticker matches the seed
number displayed seed number for the device.
Please note that to avoid confusion, some letters will never appear in a license key because
they resemble numbers: For example, capital 'G' and number '6' are very similar when
printed with small font. When in doubt, use numbers.
Also, please notice, that characters that can't be part of valid license key are not accepted as
input. When appropriate an automatic conversion is applied while typing: For example,
lower case letters are converted to upper case automatically.
