1. INTRODUCTION
This portable HDMI Signal Generator & Analyzer provides a convenient
way to test and verify all aspects of an HDMI signal path, including
source and sink. This unit complies with the HDMI 2.0a and HDCP 1.4/2.2
standards. The unit’s Analyzer mode complies with the CEA standard
HDR static metadata extensions CEA-861-F and CEA-861.3 for EDID
analysis.
The unit is powered by a single rechargeable Lithium-ion battery
(not included). Beyond the Lithium-ion battery, the unit may also be
powered (and the battery recharged) via the micro USB port. An
external power bank can also be used to extend the portable service
time. 4K sources can be scaled down to 1080p output in Analyzer
mode to support a wider range of displays when analyzing high-
bandwidth sources.
The unit has an integrated OLED display which provides a way to
quickly and clearly view the current signal state or the results of
signal analysis. This portable handheld design is ideal for both the
professional end user and installation engineer alike.
