TRADE NEWS: Agilent Technologies' Expanded HDMI Test Solution Portfolio on Display at CEA 861/HDCP PlugFest13
SANTA CLARA, Calif. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE:A) today announced that its enhanced High-Definition
Multimedia Interface (HDMI) test solution portfolio is being
demonstrated at the CEA 861/HDCP PlugFest13, Nov. 8-13, in Burlingame,
Calif. The expanded solution enables engineers to test the new features
introduced by the HDMI Specification 1.4 such as HEAC (HDMI Ethernet and
Audio Return Channel) support or 4K x 2K and 3-D video format support.
The test solution also increases efficiencies, reduces development costs
and provides highly accurate test results.
Agilent has been involved with HDMI since the standard was first
established to help companies meet compliance testing and address the
challenges presented by this technology. The company is committed to
contributing its expertise to advance HDMI and to continue working with
the industry's Authorized Test Centers (ATCs) to offer a complete and
reliable test platform. This effort will ultimately help build better
consumer electronics products. Almost every ATC uses Agilent's HDMI
platform to test products and identify problems, measure data, and
determine whether tests have passed or failed.
Benefits of the Agilent HDMI complete test platform include:
-
Modular, powerful, cost-efficient HEAC (HDMI Ethernet and Audio Return
Channel) test upgrade with Agilent's powerful, highly flexible 81150A
pattern generator and Infiniium oscilloscopes. The 81150A allows
glitch-free, on-the-fly variation of timing parameters. This modular
approach for HEAC test does not block expensive test resources as
these tests can be performed independent of a TMDS signal generator.
-
Unique test automation with broadest test coverage using the N5990A
software controlling TMDS
signal generator, N5998A,
oscilloscope
and complementary Quantum Data 882EA (for EDID, CEC and HDCP test).
Agilent's HDMI test platform includes the following products:
"We have the knowledge and history of developing tools that focus on the
physical, data-link and protocol layers of HDMI," said Thomas Dippon,
HDMI program manager at Agilent. "And, Agilent is an active member of
the HDMI Organization, so we're constantly abreast of the standards and
compliance issues facing our industry. This keeps us poised to help our
customers and partners meet the opportunities and challenges presented
by HDMI."
