Introducing the 980 HDMI Phy & Protocol Aux Channel Analyzer module for testing DDC bus compliance. The initial release of the new module supports compliance testing of the HDMI DDC bus voltage and timing parameters in accordance with the HDMI 1.4b Clarification Version 1.04 – May 1, 2014. Future releases of the module will support functional tests and compliance tests on other HDMI auxiliary channels.

The 980 HDMI Phy and Protocol Aux Channel Analyzer module can be equipped in either of the following Quantum Data 980 Advanced Test Platforms:

1) 980B - 5-slot, 15" touch display

2) 980R - 5-slot, rack mountable with 7" touch display

The 980 Phy & Protocol Aux Channel Analyzer module’s DDC compliance tests enable you to identify compliance failures early in the development cycle. The solution is an ideal for pre-testing and self-testing (where permitted) your HDMI 1.4 source or sink device. Pre-testing and self-testing reduces cost of testing or retesting at an Authorized Test Center (ATC) and enables you to meet time to market requirements. You can save the results and distribute them to colleagues.

 

The 980 HDMI Phy and Protocol Aux Channel Analyzer module's tests can be controlled either through the PC-based 980 GUI Manager or through the embedded 980 GUI Manager running on the 980 platform itself. The 980's built-in color touch screen provides a graphical user interface (GUI) to control the module and run the compliance tests.

  • Pre-Testing your HDMI 1.4x source and sink devices. Pre-testing prior to submission to the ATC provides a high level of assurance that your HDMI product will pass. This reduces the cost and time of having to resubmit if a failure occurs.
  • Self-Testing HDMI 1.4x devices. Self-testing (where permitted) enables you to avoid submission to the ATC thereby eliminating cost and enabling you to get your HDMI 1.4x device to market more quickly.
  • Operational Efficiency. Offers flexibility in running the tests by enabling you to select a small set of tests to run initially. You can save test configurations and recall them for later use to target specific compliance tests.
  • Root Cause Identification. When compliance test failures occur, you can view the details of the failure. This enables you to quickly identify the root cause of a compliance test failure.
  • Data Portability. Data portability enables you to share compliance test results with colleagues, subject matter experts at other corporate locations and other experts for analysis and for verifying compliance. The 980 test instrument is not required to view the test results. The data can be viewed through the 980 GUI Manager which is free and available from the Quantum Data website.
