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
•Supports HBR3 feature of DP 1.4a
•Supports Display Stream Compression, DSC
•High resolution video and audio capture up to 8K 30 Hz, 4K / UHD 120 Hz,
8K 60 Hz with DSC (UCD-411 N/A)
•Compatible with HDCP versions 1.3 and 2.3
•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 (UCD-411 N/A), 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.
Please find below logical diagram of UCD-400 unit. UCD-411 contains only source
functionality
