LeCroy 780BH Video Generator / Analyzer (300MHz)

×

• Battery powered / small form factor – The small size, battery power and operation through the embedded touch screen make the 780BH convenient to use in all applications, in the field, on your test bench or in the R&D lab.
• HDMI Out (Tx) port – Supports the emulation a known-good HDMI source device up to 300 MHz to test HDMI sinks and downstream HDMI networks including HDMI 2.0 sinks with 4:2:0 pixel encoding.
• HDMI protocol Tests - Verify EDIDs and HDCP authentication (1.4 or 2.2) on HDMI sources, sinks or repeaters. View incoming HDMI infoframes from source devices.
• Extensive format and test pattern library – Enables you to test a variety of video test cases on a high end HDTV including deep color and 3D.
• Audio test tones and clips for uncompressed LPCM and compressed formats – Enables you to verify that an HDMI audio rendering device supports various audio formats including LPCM and Dolby and DTS compressed formats including Dolby TrueHD and DTS Master Audio.
• HDMI In (Rx) port – Supports the emulation a known-good HDMI sink device to test HDMI sources and upstream HDMI networks including HDMI 2.0 sinks with 4:2:0 pixel encoding.
• Network Analyzer – Enables you to run diagnostic tests to verify proper timing, infoframes metadata, HDCP authentication, EDID structure and content and CEC messages on HDMI sources, sinks and entire HDMI distribution networks.
• Installer tests Enable you to quickly diagnose HDMI interoperability problems through an automated and simplified interface. Run tests upstream toward the source, downstream toward the sink or test both upstream and downstream simultaneously with the “Link” test. The utility also enables you to test on both sides of a repeater.
• NEW! Report File Creation. Enables residential installers, proAV integrators and test engineers in R&D to produce a record of the tests they perform. Reports can be run on HDCP, Format Analyzer, Audio Analyzer, Cable tests, auxiliary channel analyzer tests for any interface type. The reports can be provided to customers, colleagues or to the contracting agent to verify and demonstrate project completion. The reports can be run on a single test or aggregated for a series of tests. The reports can be transferred by SD card or the USB interface and viewed in a standard browser or any text editor.

The 780BH model provide an at-aglance status bar on the bottom of the 7” in touch screen. The status bar provides basic information about what the instrument is transmitting to a display and what it is receiving from a source. The instruments can run quick video audio and protocol tests on individual sources, displays , repeaters, distribution gear as well as cables. Protocol tests include tests for EDID, HDCP authentication, infoframes and timing data. You can place the 780BH at any point in a video distribution network and run tests upstream toward the source while emulating a display (or sink). Or you can run tests downstream while emulating a source. Generate reports to demonstrate test series completion.

The 780BH status bar provides essential information about the incoming video. The Video Display Test shows the incoming video and essential video and audio meta-data. Both provide quick time-to-insight when conducting routine tests or diagnosing interoperability problems.

Many interoperability problems are related to EDIDs. 780BH enables you to emulate any EDID to test a source’s response. You can use commercial EDIDs or test EDIDs with specific video and audio support. Test with EDIDs with known anomalies or grab an EDID from a UHD TV for future testing.

Complex interoperability problems require visibility into the auxiliary channel. You can monitor HDMI and HDBaseT Display Data Channel data to view EDID, SCDC, HDCP and CEC transactions. You can check details of each transaction in the log and distribute the logs to colleagues and subject matter experts.

The 780BH enables you to test distribution equipment to verify integrity of extenders, matrix switches and distribution amps. You can test individual devices or entire networks including digital video cables.

The 780BH supports testing of installed distribution networks from the far-end at the display.

Select from CEA and VESA formats or create your own custom formats including 4K resolutions for Ultra HD testing up to 300 MHz. Use the test pattern library to verify specific video display elements. Set bit depth, pixel encoding, colorimetry and sampling parameters. Use industry standard patterns for color calibration. Create custom bitmap test patterns. Scroll bitmaps to test motion artifacts.

Many interoperability problems are related to EDIDs. You can view the EDID contents of any connected display to verify its audio/video capabilities (including HDR elements). You can verify the structure of an EDID and check for compliance.

You can use the 780BH to verify audio on displays or audio systems using programmable LPCM test tones. Set sampling rate, bit depth, amplitude and number of channels. You can select Dolby and DTS compressed audio clips including Dolby TrueHD & DTS Master Audio.

HDCP authentication problems occur in complex digital video distribution networks. Use the HDCP test to quickly check HDCP 1.4 and HDCP 2.2 authentication. Enabling and disabling HDCP can quickly reveal the nature of an interoperability problem. Monitor the HDCP transactions during the HDCP test using the Auxiliary Channel Analyzer.
