| Software | TDSHT3 – HDMI compliance software (option HT3) (support for CTS V1.3b requires software Version 3.3.0 or higher). Support for CTS V1.3b1 and support of 4-channel measurement requires software Version 4.0 or higher) | 1 |
| Probes | P7313SMA differential SMA probe - use for all differential and single-ended measurements. | 2 or 43 |
| Test Fixtures | ET-HDMI-TPA-STX - HDMI Type A fixture set for Transmitter Test. | 1 set |
| Power Supply | 3.3V power supply4 | 1 |
| Connector | Bias-Tees to terminate the unused fixture ports with 50 Ohms after pulling the DC of the Bias-Tees to 3.3V. Order individually as ZX85-12G-S+ from Mini-Circuits4 | 8 pcs |
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.
4If four P7313SMA probes are used then the Power supply and Bias-Tees are not required as the SMA probes provide the proper termination voltage.
