LeCroy 780D HDMI Protocol Analyzer / Generator for UHD Testing up to 600MHz

The Teledyne LeCroy quantumdata 780D HDMI Protocol Analyzer / Generator is a portable, handheld digital video generator and analyzer that enables you to run tests on digital video devices and network distribution devices on site or in the R&D lab. The HDMI ports support testing up to 600 MHz pixel rate and the HDBaseT ports support testing up to 300 MHz pixel rate. Testing these digital interfaces is supported by both an output port and an input port to allow testing of digital video sources, displays, audio devices and distribution devices. The 780D also offers a VGA output for testing RGB and component analog.
 

Portable form factor

Device is handheld and portable but is not battery powered. It is powered through an AC adapter. The portability makes the instrument ideal for use in the field, on your test bench or in the R&D lab.

Video pattern testing

Test a display’s HDMI, HDBaseT and analog component inputs with all the necessary standard timings to ensure that it can render video test patterns including deep color and HDMI or HDBaseT 3D patterns. Over 25 video patterns supported. Add custom bitmaps. Create your own custom formats. Scroll bitmap patterns to test for motion artifacts.

Identify EDID problems

Run verification tests on the EDID of HDMI or HDBaseT sink devices such as an HDTV or input of a repeater device. View the entire contents of the EDID of an HDMI, or HDBaseT sink device. Run portions of the EDID compliance test. Compare two EDIDS.

Verify HDCP on display devices

Verify an HDMI or HDBaseT sink's response to HDCP authentication. Send HDCP encrypted video content to a downstream repeater (e.g. AVR) and/or sink (e.g. DTV). Check the authentication response from the sink. HDMI Tx interface supports testing of HDCP 1.4 and 2.2.

Audio testing

Send audio patterns, tones & noise through HDMI, HDBaseT, SPDIF or Optical digital audio outputs. Program audio parameters such as sampling rate, bit depth and channels. Use a variety of audio formats including LPCM, Dolby, DTS and high bit rate audio formats such as Dolby TrueHD and DTS Master Audio.

Video analyzer for sources

Emulate a known-good HDMI or HDBaseT sink device to analyze digital video and audio content from a digital video source device. View the incoming video images and metadata from a digital video source device on the LCD display even when content is protected with HDMI HDCP versions 1.4 or 2.2.

Verify an HDMI or HDBaseT source’s response to an EDID
Emulate the EDID of any HDMI or HDBaseT sink device to verify that a source device responds properly to it. Store and retrieve multiple EDIDs for use in testing.

Verify video timing
Verify the timing of a digital video source device. Compare received timing against a known-good timing standard format.

Audio analyzer for sources

Emulate a known-good HDMI or HDBaseT sink device to analyze digital audio content from a digital video/audio source device. Monitor the incoming LPCM audio and view the digital audio metadata.

Installer Test Utility

Quickly diagnose HDMI and HDBaseT 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.

Protocol tests on HDMI or HDBaseT sinks
Enables you to verify proper operation of HDCP (1.4 and 2.2) authentication, EDID and CEC on HDMI and HDBaseT sinks.

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.

 

 

View Incoming Video & Data	Test Response to EDIDs	View Auxiliary Channel Transactions
The 780D 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. 780D 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, HDCP, SCDC and CEC transactions. You can check details of each transaction in the log and distribute the logs to colleagues and subject matter experts.

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

Verify Video Select from CEA and VESA formats or create your own custom formats including 1080p resolutions with deep color for testing up to 225 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.

Verify EDID Contents Many interoperability problems are related to EDIDs. You can view the EDID contents of any connected display to verify its audio/video capabilities. You can verify the structure of an EDID and check for compliance. Capture and EDID from a connected display and save it for future testing.

Verify Audio You can use the 780D 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.

Verify HDCP Authentication

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