54 Chapter 2 Testing Video Displays
Testing digital component video HDTV (CE) FPDs
This section describes how to test digital DVI and HDMI component video for HDTV flat
panel displays. The display responses shown as examples in the procedures use the
882C and 882E. However, you can also test dual-link digital component video with DVI
using the 882D. The different selection options are provided for the 882D throughout the
procedure.
DVI interface testing
To set up the 882 to test a digital DVI component video HDTV display:
1. Connect an HDMI to DVI cable between the HDMI OUT (1 or 2) connector on the 882
and the DVI connector on the television display under test.
Note: If the display under test has a DVI-D connector, you will need a DVI-I to DVI-D
adapter.
2. Identify the high-definition component television formats to test. These formats are
listed after the composite television formats in the 882’s default Source list. Begin with
the first format (720p) in the range of high definition component television formats. See
“Setting Source list of formats” on page 43.
3. Determine additional formats to test based on the resolution of the television display.
The television product specification sheet will provide information on what resolutions
to test. It is necessary to test only those resolutions with the supported scanning type
(typically interlaced for a high definition television).
4. Determine the images to test. For digital television flat panel displays, you would
typically want to select images to test for pixel anomalies, persistence, photometry, and
resolution-related problems. For more details on which images test these specific
display attributes, see “Selecting image” on page 47 or Appendix B, “Image
Reference.”
To activate the HDMI-D interface on the output port:
1. Press the Interface key. A listing of signal interfaces appears on the 882’s display as
shown below.
2. Choose the HDMI-D item by pressing the adjacent soft key. The interface is activated
and the port outputs the currently selected image and format.
