Features
The 780E is
equipped with multiple interface types including HDMI, DisplayPort and
HDBaseT interfaces. Each digital interface is supported by both an
output port and an input port to allow testing of digital video sources,
displays, audio devices and distribution devices. Testing hybrid
converter devices supporting HDMI, DisplayPort and HDBaseT distribution
networks is a key application of the 780E as well.
- HDMI
Tx and Rx ports. The 780E can emulate an HDMI source or an HDMI sink
operating up to pixel rates of 600 MHz. This supports testing of 4K
ultra high definition sources and sinks operating at 50/60Hz using HDMI
2.0 RGB and 4:4:4 pixel encoding. The HDMI interfaces also support HDCP
authentication testing with both HDCP 1.4 and 2.2 versions.
- HDBaseT
Tx and Rx ports. The 780E can emulate an HDBaseT source or sink
operating up to pixel rates of 300 MHz. This supports testing of 4K
ultra high definition sources and sinks operating at 50/60Hz using HDMI
2.0 4:2:0 pixel encoding. The HDBaseT interfaces or invaluable for
testing A/V distribution gear with HDBaseT and HDMI interfaces.
- DisplayPort
Tx and Rx ports. The 780E can emulate a DisplayPort source or display
operating link rates of 1.62 Gb/s, 2.7 Gb/s and 5.4 Gb/s on 1, 2 or 4
lanes. The DisplayPort interfaces or invaluable for testing A/V
distribution gear with HDBaseT and HDMI interfaces. The DisplayPort
interfaces also support HDCP authentication testing with both HDCP 1.3
and 2.2 versions.
You
can use the 780E as a pattern generator for calibrating your high
definition TVs. The 780Es are equipped with a variety of standard
patterns and formats including deep color and HDMI 3D formats.
Because
the 780E instrument has both digital video output and input ports, you
can test your digital video cables and distribution networks with
splitters, extenders and switches even when already installed on site
using the Frame Compare feature.
The
780E can also be optioned with the Auxiliary Channel Analyzer (ACA)
utility for monitoring the auxiliary channels of HDMI, HDBaseT or
DisplayPort. For HDMI or HDBaseT, you can monitor the DDC (HDCP and
EDID) transactions and hot plug events. You can monitor the HDMI/HDBaseT
DDC either while emulating an HDMI or HDBaseT source and/or sink or
passively monitoring the HDMI DDC hot plug events and CEC messages
between an HDMI source and sink. The ACA option also enables you to
monitor the DisplayPort Aux Channel, including EDID, HDCP exchanges and
the link training transactions. You can monitor the DisplayPort Aux
Channel either while emulating a DisplayPort source or display or you
can monitoring passively between a DisplayPort source and display.
The
780E's portability makes it ideal for your bench and for use in the
field. A color touch display makes the 780E easy and convenient to use
and when testing a source device you can view the incoming video image
and metadata on the built-in LCD.
Portable form factor.
Device is handheld and portable but is not battery powered. It is
powered through an AC adapter. The portability makes the instrument
ideal for use in the field, on your test bench or in the R&D lab.
Video pattern testing.
Test a display’s HDMI, DisplayPort, HDBaseT and analog component inputs
with all the necessary standard timings to ensure that it can render
video test patterns including deep color and HDMI or HDBaseT 3D
patterns. Over 25 video patterns supported. Add custom bitmaps. Create
your own custom formats. Scroll bitmap patterns to test for motion
artifacts.
Identify EDID problems.
Run verification tests on the EDID of HDMI, DisplayPort or HDBaseT sink
devices such as an HDTV or input of a repeater device. View the entire
contents of the EDID of an HDMI, DisplayPort or HDBaseT sink device. Run
portions of the EDID compliance test. Compare two EDIDS.
Verify HDCP on display devices.
Verify an HDMI, HDBaseT or DisplayPort display's response to HDCP
authentication. Send HDCP encrypted video content to a downstream
repeater (e.g. AVR) and/or sink (e.g. DTV). Check the authentication
response from the sink. HDMI Tx interface supports testing of HDCP 1.4
and 2.2. DisplayPort Tx interface supports HDCP 1.3 and 2.2. HBaseT Tx
interface supports HDCP verification on sinks with version 1.4.
Audio testing.
Send audio patterns, tones & noise through HDMI, HDBaseT,
DisplayPort, SPDIF or Optical digital audio outputs. Program audio
parameters such as sampling rate, bit depth and channels. Use a variety
of audio formats including LPCM, Dolby, DTS and high bit rate audio
formats such as Dolby TrueHD and DTS Master Audio.
Video analyzer for sources.
Emulate a known-good HDMI, HDBaseT or DisplayPort sink device to
analyze digital video and audio content from a digital video source
device. View the incoming video images and metadata from a digital video
source device on the LCD display even when content is protected with
HDMI HDCP versions 1.4 or 2.2 (DisplayPort HDCP versions 1.3 or 2.2).
Verify an HDMI, DisplayPort or HDBaseT source’s response to an EDID.
Emulate the EDID of any HDMI, DisplayPort or HDBaseT sink device to
verify that a source device responds properly to it. Store and retrieve
multiple EDIDs for use in testing.
Verify video timing. Verify the timing of a digital video source device. Compare received timing against a known-good timing standard format.
Audio analyzer for sources.
Emulate a known-good HDMI, HDBaseT or DisplayPort sink device to
analyze digital audio content from a digital video/audio source device.
Monitor the incoming LPCM audio and view the digital audio metadata.
Installer Test Utility.
Quickly diagnose HDMI and HDBaseT interoperability problems through an
automated and simplified interface. Run tests upstream toward the
source, downstream toward the sink or test both upstream and downstream
simultaneously with the “Link” test. The utility also enables you to
test on both sides of a repeater.
Protocol tests on HDMI, HDBaseT or DisplayPort sinks.
Enables you to verify proper operation of HDCP (1.4 and 2.2)
authentication, EDID and CEC on HDMI and HDBaseT sinks. Verify
DisplayPort Aux Channel transactions including link training, EDID and
HDCP 1.3 and 2.2 on DisplayPort sinks.
