The 980 Protocol Analyser provides full visibility into the HDMI and MHL protocol, timing, control and auxiliary data at HDMI 1.4a speeds.
The 980 HDMI Protocol Analyser module is designed for deep analysis of HDMI and MHL streams. Additionally this unit is designed for HDMI and MHL compliance testing for source, sink, repeater/dongle devices. For HDMI the tool provides full visibility into the HDMI protocol, timing, control and auxiliary data up to 300MHz (HDMI) which supports testing of HDMI 2.0 4K Ultra HD sources at 50/60Hz. For MHL the module supports analysis of MHL 1.2, 1.3, 2.0, and 2.1 source devices. The 980 HDMI Protocol Analyser module can be equipped in either of the:
1) 980 ATP - 2-slot, 10.4" touch display
2) 980B ATP - 5-slot, 15" touch display
The 980 Protocol Analyser module 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 980/980B built-in color touch screen provides a graphical user interface (GUI) to control the module and run the compliance tests.
The 980 HDMI Protocol Analyzer module provides the deep analysis and compliance test features necessary to enable you to get your product to market more quickly and with reduced expense. The comprehensive suite of HDMI and MHL compliance test tools for sources, sinks and dongles (MHL). This includes HDMI 2.0 compliance tests for EDIDs on sink devices and 4:2:0 pixel encoding on source and sink devices. The compliance tests are ideal for pre-testing your product prior to submission to an Authorised Test Centre (ATC) for approval. Pre-testing provides added assurance that your product will pass on the first submission to the ATC. Where permitted, the 980 HDMI Protocol Analyser can be used to self-test your HDMI product. Self-testing offers even greater benefits for time to market and cost reduction than pre-testing. The instrument provides all the necessary raw data test results to demonstrate compliance.
The 980 HDMI Protocol Analyser module captures and decodes encrypted or unencrypted metadata (protocol data, audio sample, infoframes and other data islands) as well as HDMI DDC and MHL C-Bus transactions and HDMI CEC messages. Unlike competing analysers for HDMI and MHL protocol testing, the 980 captures all protocol data, data islands and control packets with accurate timestamps even when they are transmitted in rapid succession. Deep analysis enables you to identify and resolve interoperability problems early in the life cycle.
The 980 operates in one of two modes: Capture mode or Real Time mode. In the Capture mode, the 980 captures and decodes either unencrypted or HDCP-encrypted HDMI or MHL metadata. You can trigger a capture on a variety of conditions or events. Once the data is captured, the 980 GUI Manager presents the data in an easy to understand way through its graphical user interface. You can filter and search through the captured data. The Capture mode enables you to store data permanently and disseminate to subject matter experts at other locations.
Both the captured data as well as compliance test data can be stored permanently and disseminated to subject matter experts at other locations. The 980 test instrument is not required to view the test results. The results and logs can be viewed through the 980 GUI Manager which is free and available from the Quantum Data website.
The Real Time mode feature enables you to select which type of data to view in real time. Infoframes and other data islands, timing data, HDCP and EDID transactions can all be viewed in real time. You can observe changes in these data as changes are made in the source device.
The optional Encrypted Link Analyzer is a unique test application that enables developers to monitor, capture and analyze HDCP encrypted protocol data transmitted between an HDMI source device and sink device. This enables developers to investigate HDMI interoperability while the content is encrypted by analyzing the captured metadata or viewing it in real time and also observing the behavior of the downstream sink device. This solution enables the 980 to have full visibility into the protocols of encrypted data with the greatest degree of transparency.
