The Quantum Data 804A Video Test Generator is a rack mountable test instrument designed for testing HDMI flat panel TVs. The 804A Video Test Generator supports pixel rates up to 300MHz on its HDMI outputs. This enables testing of high end HDTVs with 4K ultra high definition capability including tests for 4K at 50/60Hz using HDMI 2.0 4:2:0 pixel encoding. The instrument also supports testing of 21:9 format resolutions at or below 300 MHz pixel rate.
The 804A test instrument features four HDMI outputs which are active simultaneously for testing HDTVs with multiple HDMI inputs. The 804A can also output component analog and composite analog for testing an HDTVs analog video outputs. This video test generator switches between timings and test patterns in less than 100ms. The 804A is equipped with standard video timings and test patterns including 3D patterns and tests for HDMI protocols such as HDCP, EDID and CEC.
The 804A is designed to test compressed and uncompressed HDMI audio formats by using a variety of audio test signals. An HDTV's analog audio input can also be tested using the 804A's programmable analog audio outputs. The instrument can be controlled through the touch screen interface which also provides status during testing. The 804A can be operated through an extensive command set for control by an automated test system.
