Applications

  • Design and Validation of HDMI 1.4 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 1.4 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 1.4 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.
