Product Name

Multi-Interface Interoperability Tester for Video and Audio

Overview

The 780C is equipped with multiple interface types including HDMI, HDBaseT, 3G-SDI, and component analog. Testing digital interfaces 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 3G-SDI, HDMI, and HDBaseT distribution networks are a key application of the 780C as well. Although 780C is portable, it is not battery powered

Features

• 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, HDBaseT or 3G-SDI 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 or HDBaseT sink devices such as an HDTV or input of a repeater device. View the entire contents of the EDID of an HDMI or HDBaseT sink device. Run portions of the EDID compliance test. Compare two EDIDS.
  Verify HDCP on sink devices and repeater devices. 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
• Audio testing: Send audio patterns, tones & noise through HDMI, HDBaseT, SDI, 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 3G-SDI 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 HDCP.
  Verify an HDMI or HDBaseT source’s response to an EDID: Emulate the EDID of any HDMI 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 3G-SDI 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 and HDBaseT sinks: Enables you to verify proper operation of HDCP authentication, EDID and CEC on HDMI and HDBaseT sink
