1 Oscilloscopes with bandwidth less than 8 GHz will only support HDMI testing at limited resolution and clock/data rates.
2 16M per channel or greater record length is required for HDMI Compliance test.
3 Four SMA probes are required to take full advantage of the 4-channel source measurement capability, cutting test time to almost half.
