Convenient Compliance Testing and Characterization of HDMI
1.3 Devices
The High- Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) specification
ensures the interoperability of all- digital audio and video devices.
Agilent offers solutions for testing HDMI sources, cables and
sinks. The instruments of each solution provide outstanding
performance, ideal for characterizing HDMI devices. The special
HDMI test automation software controls the instruments and
simplifies HDMI source and sink compliance testing.
Figure 1: Agilent provides solutions for each HDMI test.
Source test solution
The DSO80000 Series Oscilloscope is the core of Agilent’s source
test solution. The high bandwidth, low noise and excellent
probing solutions of these real- time oscilloscopes show clear eye
diagrams and the real margin of your HDMI sources. The N5399A
software guides you confidently through most compliance source
tests.
Cable test solution
The E5971C network analyzer and the 86100C DCA- J, with its
TDR modules and software, provide impedance, intra- and interpair skew measurements for HDMI cables.
Sink test solution
The E4887A HDMI TMDS Signal Generator Platform provides
parallel signals with low intrinsic jitter and fast edges. The HDMI
Frame Generator Software is ideal for manual testing and
debugging. It configures the generator with a wide variety of
HDMI video frames. The software controls up to two E4438C
Vector Signal Generators or 33250A Arbitrary Waveform
Generators as well as the TMDS Signal Generator for defined
jittered signals for jitter tolerance testing.
High performance connections
Agilent offers various fixtures for HDMI testing. The N1080A test
point access adapters (TPAs) provide SMA to plug, or receptacle
to SMA connections with very low loss and high bandwidth. The
N5404A transmitter test fixture is especially developed for HDMI
source testing.

Test automation
The N5990A Test Automation Platform enables HDMI compliance
testing and systematic, in- depth characterization with high data
quality and throughput. The software controls all related
instruments and directs you step by step through the tests. All
test results are documented in Microsoft® Excel format.

High quality signals for clock and data signals
Clean signals with fast transition times and very low
jitter are necessary for device characterization. The
E4887A HDMI TMDS Signal Generator Platform is based
on Agilent’s ParBERT 81250, which provides industry
best signal performance for high speed characterization.
TMDS signal generator for independent jitter injection on the clock
signal and data signals
In combination with the E4438C Vector Signal Generator
or the 33250A Arbitrary Waveform Generator, the
E4887A HDMI TMDS Signal Generator Platform offers
linear clock and data jitter injection compliant to HDMI
CTS 1.3. Especially designed for jitter tolerance device
characterization, it lets you stress your device with
independent jitter components on the clock and data
signal for in- depth sink characterization.
Easy to use with many video formats
You can choose from a vast variety of video formats. The
frame generator software set up the TMDS Signal
Generator with the chosen format. The jitter injection is
also conveniently controlled using the frame generator
software.
Integrated into compliance test software
The N5990A Test Automation Software integrates the
E4887A TMDS Signal Generator Platform and the
DSO80000 Series Real- Time Oscilloscope. This HDMI sink
test solution provides calibrated jitter injection for
accurate jitter tolerance characterization, and compliance
tests with a high test throughput.
Future proof with data rates up to 7 Gb/s
The high resolution version of the E4887A–007 HDMI
TMDS Signal Generator is able to generate signals up to
7 Gb/s and protects your investment for future device
characterization.
Cable emulators designed for HDMI 1.3
A set of different cable emulators especially designed for
HDMI 1.3 are offered to match CAT 1 and CAT 2
reference cables.

E4887A HDMI Platform Jitter Tolerance Capabilities
Enabling highspeed on most recent HDMI devices is the most critical
and important requirement for in- depth characterization. The E4887A
TMDS Signal Generator Platform is exactly addressing this test- need
through all individual configurations. Paired with excellent signal
performance, the test engineer has got the highest benefit for true
and exact device characterization.

E4887A-10x Series Cable Emulator
The E4887A- 10x series will offer different cable emulators for
compliant jitter tolerance testing. Each cable emulator is packaged
and has 3.5 mm (f) connectors for TMDS clock and all three TMDS
data lanes. Each lane is differential and matched in length.
Figure 10: Typical application of cable emulator
The cable emulators are offered in 3 versions:
E4887A- 101 CTS 1.3 low frequency ≤ 74.25 MHz
E4887A- 102 CTS 1.3 high frequency > 74.25 MHz
E4887A- 104 CTS 1.3 compliant passive EQ cable emulator
The - 101 emulates a CAT 1 reference cable, while - 102 emulates a
CAT 2 reference cable.
