HDMI Compliance Test Software

TekExpress HDMI Source Compliance Test Application for HDMI 2.1, HDMI 2.0, HDMI 1.4

TekExpress HDMI Source Compliance Test Application for HDMI 2.1, HDMI 2.0, HDMI 1.4

HDMI 2.1: 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. The HDMI 2.1 is known for Fixed Rate Link (FRL) supports up to 4 k at 120 Hz or 8 k at 60 Hz for both compressed and uncompressed video content. The FRL supports only predefined discrete data rates - 3 Gbps, 6 Gbps, 8 Gbps, 10 Gbps, and 12 Gbps on each of its 4 lanes, which means the FRL supports a post encoded link bandwidth of up to 48 Gbps.

HDMI 2.0: HDMI 2.0 supports features like 2160p (also known as Ultra HD/4K 2K 60/50 Hz), operating at 5.94 Gbps.

Option HDM compliance software automates a comprehensive range of tests according to CTS 2.0.

Eye diagram analysis

HDMI 2.1 Eye diagram capability: Displays the eye diagram of the High-Speed signal with option DJA enabled on the oscilloscope for test HFR1-7 Data lane Eye Diagram. This test evaluates the waveform parameters over a significant interval of time to verify that with proper clock recovery and equalization, there is no signal incursion into regions defined by a mask to result in correct demodulation of data. The equalization (CTLE and DFE is applied for data rate equal to 12 Gbps; while CTLE only is applied, for any other data rate) on the resulting summed waveform for a wider eye-opening.
