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
dedicated HDMI test automation software controls the instruments and simplifies HDMI source, cable and sink compliance testing.
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 realtime 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 inter-pair 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.
Figure 1: Agilent provides solutions for each HDMI test.
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.

E4887A and N5990A Platform
Combination
High quality signals for clock and data signals
Clean signals with fast transition times and very low intrinsic jitter are necessary for device characterization. The E4887A HDMI TMDS Signal Generator
Platform is based on Agilent’s ParBERT 81250, which provides industry leading 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 ups 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 HDMI 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-10x Series Cable Emulators
The E4887A-10x series offers 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.
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-103 CTS 1.3 compliant passive EQ cable emulator
The E4887A-101 emulates a CAT 1 reference cable, while E4887A-102
emulates a CAT 2 reference cable.
