03 | Keysight | N5399C, N5399D HDMI Electrical Performance Validation and Compliance Software - Data Sheet
Features
The HDMI EPVC software is a full-featured product to
simplify the validation of HDMI designs and includes:
–– Specification selections (HDMI 1.4b and 2.0)
–– Complete test suites for HDMI: TMDS test, direct
attach devices, HEAC (Ethernet/Audio return
channel)
–– Device capability entry using resolution and timing
descriptors, video identifier codes (VIC)
–– Varied connection models including differential,
single ended, switch network
–– Automated test sequencing using either manual or
automated connection models
–– Guided connection and instructions throughout
the test process if in manual mode
–– Test report including system and connection
details, summary table, which is hotlinked to
ancillary test result data, and screen shots of the
test processes
–– Tabular final results page with statistical analysis
–– Pass/fail margin analysis
–– Transfer function generation for the complex
test requirements for HDMI 2.0 and for extended
analysis
–– Scripting for complex testing or cycling
requirements
–– Remote user interface
–– Programmability of all operations available in the
application
–– Backward compatibility to N5399B users
–– Test algorithm control through configurable
parameters
–– Test selection to support one test, many tests, or
all tests
–– Testplan flow control
HDMI EPVC software is easy to use
The HDMI EPVC software extends the ease-of-use advantages of
Keysight’s Infiniium oscilloscopes to the testing of HDMI designs.
The Keysight automated test engine walks you quickly and
logically through the steps required to define device capability,
test selections, and test connection as well as performing the
tests and providing convenient viewing of results, giving you the
level of detail you need. The user is allowed to choose high level
test parameters (specification, test suite) to suit test process
objectives and then can proceed to select one category of tests
or to specify individual tests. During the sequencing of tests in
an overall test plan, should the connection or bit rate require a
change, a prompt screen conveniently guides users to make the
changes required. In automation modes, the testing continues
without waiting for operator input. When the requested test
procedure is complete, an HTML report is generated that allows
viewing all the key information, and a tabular view (reports tab)
is available as well. The project file can be saved for continuing
testing later, and if the resume testing mode is selected, a test
procedure will continue where it left off.
HDMI EPVC software saves you time
The HDMI software guides you through the whole process
from setup to the point where you need to analyze the results.
This graphical user interface for this process is intended to be
intuitive so that you know exactly where you should be and are
not mystified by what the next step is. From years of supporting
these applications, Keysight knows that eliminating confusion
is an instant productivity bump. The test algorithms represent
much development time and optimization over the last 10 years
and are certified so you don’t need to develop your own software
and can use confidently. In HDMI 2.0, new filtering constructs
such as addition of skew on either signal line of a differential pair,
embedding a cable model, impressing an equalization function,
de-embedding a fixture, and even compensating for a lossy
intervening switch network are all handled for you automatically.
