Applications

Design and Validation of HDMI 1.4a/b Physical Layer

HDMI Physical Layer Compliance Testing

Engineers designing and validating the HDMI physical layer of their devices face constant pressure to improve efficiency. Designers need to perform a wide range of compliance tests quickly and reliably right on their bench.

HDMI 1.4a/b introduces Automotive HDMI (Type E) in addition to Mobile HDMI (Type D), HEAC, 3D HDMI, 4K × 2K patterns, and new Calorimetric patterns, all operating up to 3.4 Gb/s. TDSHT3 and HT3-DS HDMI Compliance Test Software automate a comprehensive range of tests enabling unprecedented efficiency with reliable results.

Reliable and Dependable Results

Complete Sink Test Automation.

TDSHT3 embeds the HDMI CTS 1.4a/b compliance test procedures, including the software clock recovery (SoftCRU), ensuring dependable results. Accurate eye rendering and precise violation testing deliver credible results. Perform accurate Sink tests with closed-loop measurements that eliminate nonlinearities of the test setup. Authentic measurement techniques and automation eliminate errors to provide repeatable results.

Option HT3-DS enables the innovative Direct Synthesis Solution for Sink and Cable eye-diagram testing. The Direct Synthesis method ensures greater repeatability as it eliminates the requirement for hardware TTC filters and cable emulators. HT3-DS supports all cable emulator effects (Type 1, Type 2, Type 3, and Type E).

Faster Validation Cycles

The unparalleled automation offered on the TDSHT3 and HT3-DS enables faster validation. Reduce test times for complete HDMI Sink testing with TDSHT3 and HT3-DS by digitally controlling cable emulator and TTC effects allowing for a single hardware connection for all resolutions. Demonstrate efficiency by using the “Select All” feature to perform multiple tests. Quickly generate CSV-format summaries or detailed reports at a press of a button.
