N5399C and N5399D HDMI Electrical Performance Validation and Compliance Software for Infiniium Series Oscilloscopes - Br

Verify and debug your HDMI designs faster with easy and comprehensive operation

Keysight Technologies, Inc. HDMI electrical performance validation and compliance software for Infiniium oscilloscopes provides you with a fast and easy way to verify and debug your high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) designs.  The HDMI electrical test software is designed for use in HDMI Authorized Test Centers (ATCs), so you can confidently use it for HDMI compliance testing. It also is an excellent debug tool for your HDMI applications. This software performs a wide range of tests required to meet the HDMI electrical specifications that are documented in section 4.2 of the HDMI 1.4b base specification and section 6.1 in the HDMI 2.0 base specification.  Using the HDMI software, you can execute the most difficult physical layer tests for HDMI 1.4b and 2.0 sources with Infiniium Series oscilloscopes. In addition, the software displays the measurement data results in a flexible report format; the report also provides a margin analysis that shows how closely your device passed or failed each test. 

Features

The HDMI electrical performance validation and compliance software offers several features to simplify the validation of HDMI designs:

Specification selections (HDMI 1.4b and 2.0)

• Complete test suites for HDMI: TMDS test, HEAC (Ethernet/ audio return channel)
• Device capability entry using resolution and timing descriptors, video identifier codes (VIC)
• Varied connection models including differential, single ended, switch network
• Automated test sequencing using either manual or automated connection models
• Guided connection and instructions throughout the test process if in manual mode
• Test report including system and connection details, summary table, which is hotlinked to ancillary test result data, and screen shots of the test processes
• Tabular final results page with statistical analysis
• Pass/fail margin analysis
• Transfer function generation for the complex test requirements for HDMI 2.0 and extended analysis
• Scripting for complex testing or cycling requirements
• Remote user interface
• Programmability of all operations available in the application
• Backward compatibility to N5399B users
• Test algorithm control through configurable parameters
• Test selection to support one test, many tests, or all tests
• Testplan flow control

With the HDMI electrical test software, you can use the same oscilloscope you use for everyday debugging to perform automated testing and margin analysis based on the HDMI-specified test checklist. 

The new test setup wizard for easy operation for the complete testplan

The new HDMI electrical performance validation and compliance software lets you define the device capability in terms of timings/ resolutions to test. This feature allows the testplan logic to run only the tests necessary for compliance.

Thorough performance reporting

The HDMI electrical performance validation and compliance software generates thorough reports that not only capture the performance and status of the device under test, but also capture the screen shots of your most significant measurements for your perusal and evaluation. 

Increasing productivity and supporting the latest HDMI development

The HDMI software provides all testing requirements for the high-speed TMDS (Transition Minimized Differential Signaling) lanes where the audio and video data is transmitted. New functions include de-embedding fixtures, embedding standard cable models, skew and equalization. 

Test performed

The HDMI electrical performance validation and compliance software performs the following tests as per the HDMI compliance test specifications 1.4b (CTS 1.4b) and 2.0 (CTS 2.0) as documented in sections 4.2 and 6.1 in the respective base specifications for each.
