The N5399E HDMI electrical performance validation and compliance software for Infiniium V and Z-Series oscilloscopes gives you a fast and easy way to verify and debug your High Definition Multi-media Interface (HDMI) designs for set-top boxes, Digital Video Recorders, DVD players, and motherboard systems. The HDMI electrical test software lets you automatically execute HDMI electrical checklist tests and displays the results in a comprehensive report format. In addition to the measurement data, the report provides a margin analysis that shows how closely your device passed or failed each test.

This software supports post processing of waveforms to greatly improve productivity. Post processing can be done on the oscilloscope after waveforms have been acquired or on a PC with a licensed compliance application using Infiniium Offline N8900A. Other required components for solution are: a test point adapter with HDMI plug, probe amplifiers and probe heads, high quality matched cables and EDID or SCDC controller device.

HDMI2.1 TMDS (formally HDMI2.0) and HDMI2.1 FRL require single ended connections for single-ended measurements as well as for TP2 differential measurements. Keysight probe and switching offerings include N7010A active termination adapters for the lowest cost connection or N7003A Infiniimode amplifiers with internal switches to enable one connection full FRL testing. Full automation for complete testing of all HDMI versions for a device is possible with switch matrix solution which requires a mainframe and switch modules.
