Complete Physical Layer Testing for HDMI 1.4 and HDMI 2.0
The Keysight Technologies, Inc. N5399C and N5399D HDMI electrical performance
validation and compliance software is the complete test execution environment for
validating and troubleshooting the electrical performance of HDMI 1.4 and HDMI 2.0
source devices. It operates on the Keysight industry-performance-leading Infiniium
oscilloscope family, and extends and improves the N5399B HDMI compliance test
software already well-established through the world’s HDMI Authorized Test Centers
(ATCs).
Though its primary application is to be the standard of HDMI physical layer
measurements in HDMI ATCs worldwide in executing the HDMI electrical tests, the
package is designed to flexibly handle development tasks where your characterization
and troubleshooting efforts may dwarf those of the final required testing for a passing
device at the conclusion of the project. Keysight has designed this product to get you
there faster.
Whether your product is a DVD player, computer, graphics card, or any of the other
many product types that use the successful HDMI interface, you must submit your first
article HDMI product to an HDMI ATC for certification. Certification requirements for
the physical layer are documented in the HDMI 2.0 Compliance Test Specification, or
CTS. The CTS defines the tests that must be run on one or more of the four high-speed
TMDS (transition minimized differential signaling) lanes at each of the various resolution
settings for both specifications (HDMI 1.4b and HDMI 2.0). Using the HDMI Electrical
Performance Validation and Compliance (EPVC) software in the development and pre-
compliance steps will give you confidence in successful outcome for the test process
at the HDMI ATC. Upon completion, you may become an HDMI self-certifier using your
same documented test process and test equipment.
