Introducing the latest video test instrument from Quantum Data for testing HDCP interoperability in HDMI systems. The HT-180 Handshake Tester for HDMI offered by Quantum Data enables users in R & D labs, service provider interoperability labs and field service techs to identify the root cause of HDCP, EDID and hot plug related interoperability problems in HDMI systems. The HT-180 provides HDMI ports for passive connection into an HDMI system comprised of a source (e.g. set top box or DVD), repeater (e.g. AVR controller) and an HDTV. A graphical utility is provided for users to enter information about the site and the equipment in the HDMI system under test. Tests are initiated with the press of a button. When the test is complete, the unit's LCD display presents simple reason codes with severity levels to identify suspect behavior of specific HDMI products in the system. During the test, the HT-180 monitors the HDCP, EDID and hot plug transactions over the I2C bus, analyzes the results and stores the transactions in a log file. The log files can be viewed with the Auxiliary Channel Analyzer on-site or later during post analysis of HDMI system problems

780 Handheld Test Instrument for HDMI The 780 Handheld Test Instrument for HDMI is a battery-powered, portable multimedia pattern generator that enables you to conduct quick, on-site verification testing of your HDMI system and analog video displays. The 780 is equipped with both a reference source and a reference sink HDMI interface allowing you to test audio, video and protocols—HDCP, EDID, CEC & infoframes—of any type of HDMI device: sources, repeaters and sinks. You can test and calibrate your high definition TVs with a variety of standard patterns and formats including deep color and (NEW!)HDMI 1.4a 3D formats. Its portability makes it ideal for your bench and for use in the field. Because the 780 has both an HDMI output and an HDMI input, you can test your HDMI cables and systems with splitters, extenders and switches as well with the optional pixel error rate test feature. A color touch display makes the 780 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.
