882 Video Test Instrument User Guide (Rev A.35) 43
Selecting video format
Once you have selected the interface type for the display under test, you need to select a
video output format. A format defines a set of video, timing, and sync parameters for a
specific device or standard. This section explains how to configure the 882 to output video
formats that are supported by the display under test.
Important: If the display under test has not implemented hot plug correctly, you will have
to bypass hot plug detection in the 882 to enable video output. See below for procedure on
bypassing hot plug detection.
Note: For more information about formats, see Chapter 5, “Working with Formats.”
Setting Source list of formats
The 882 provides a Source list of standard (pre-defined) formats. The Source list can be
set automatically when connecting to a EDID-compatible display. Otherwise, you can
manually set which formats are listed.
To automatically set Source list of formats for EDID-compatible display:
When testing EDID-compatible displays, the 882 can automatically update the Source list
to include only formats supported by the display under test. To do this:
1. Connect the 882 to the display you want to test.
2. Press the Sink key. The following information appears on the 882’s display.
Note: If there are two displays connected you will have to press the Sink key a second time
to access the display connected to the second HDMI output.
3. Press the Options key. The following information appears on the 882’s display.
4. Choose the EDID Formats item by pressing the adjacent soft key. A + appears next to
EDID Formats indicating enabled.
The 882 loads the Source list with formats supported by the connected display
(hot-plug formats read via EDID structure of attached display).
5. To redisplay all formats, press the soft key adjacent to EDID Formats. A ‘-’ (minus sign)
next to EDID Formats indicates it is disabled.
