HDMI Frame Generator - Overview
The HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) Frame Generator
software (also known in short as “Frame Generator” or “software”) is a
stand-alone software utility. It provides semi-automatic control of Keysight
Technologies’ M8195A AWG (Arbitrary Waveform Generator) TMDS and
FRL Signal Generator for physical layer tests.
The Frame Generator is a flexible tool for trouble-shooting and debugging.
it complements the full Test Automation Software (N5991HP1A), which
provides automated physical layer compliance tests and device
characterization. It allows a wide range of HDMI video formats to be
generated and provides control over parameters such as color depth and
color code. It comprises jitter insertion for jitter tolerance tests to set the
skew and other key parameters. The software runs on a standard Windows
PC and controls the hardware test resources through appropriate
interfaces, such as a LAN (Local Area Network).
