254 Chapter 9 Testing HDMI Sink Devices
Overview of HDMI display testing
This section describes how to test digital displays with HDMI interfaces. The HDMI option
enables the 882 to test HDMI-compliant displays. With the HDMI option, the 882 outputs
HDMI-compatible TMDS video and data packets containing audio and auxiliary
information.
Note: This chapter does not provide HDMI compliance test procedures. HDMI EDID
compliance testing procedures are provided in “Testing EDID for HDMI compliance in
display (sink) devices” on page 492.
The HDMI option provides the following features:
• Advanced E-EDID parsing
• Generation of all EIA/CEA-861-D formats below 165 MHz (Deep Color supports TMDS
rates up to 225MHz)
• Pixel repetition test capabilities
• Internal sine wave 882 up to 8 channels and external SPDIF audio input for audio
testing
• AFD test capabilities
• Automatic and manual InfoFrame configuration
Physical connections
The 882 has two HDMI OUT(Tx) connectors for testing HDMI displays. In addition, the
882 also has an SPDIF-A/V connector which allows external SPDIF audio to be input to
the HDMI signal. To use the SPDIF-A/V connector, an RCA-to-VGA cable is included with
the 882.
