• Report File Creation feature provides HTML formatted report of tests performed
• Protocol tests for digital video sources and displays
• Video pattern and format library with programmable settings
• Test Ultra High Definition video products supporting 4K resolutions up to 600 MHz for HDMI

The Teledyne LeCroy quantumdata 780E Video Generator / Protocol Analyzer for HDMI, DisplayPort and HDBaseT Testing offers a wide array of benefits to engineers in R&D as well as professional A/V installers in the field for testing HDMI, HDBaseT and DisplayPort devices. The portable size and user-friendly touch screen interface provide convenience to complement the rich feature set. Because the 780E instrument is equipped with both input and output ports, engineers and proA/V integrators can run a variety of video, audio and protocol tests on digital video sources, displays, distribution equipment and cables. The user interface design and test functions greatly reduce time to insight whether running tests on distinct devices or entire digital video distribution networks.

Diagnose and Troubleshoot
The 780 models provide an at-a-glance status bar on the bottom of the 7" in touch screen. The status bar provides basic information about what the instrument is transmitting to a display and what it is receiving from a source. The instruments can run quick video audio and protocol tests on individual sources, displays, repeaters, distribution gear as well as cables. Protocol tests include tests for EDID, HDCP authentication-1.4 & 2.2-infoframes and timing data. You can place the 780E at any point in a video distribution network and run tests upstream toward the source while emulating a display (or sink). Or you can run tests downstream while emulating a source. Generator reports to demonstrate test series completion.

Ease of Use
The 780E's large color touch screen provides ease of use and quick status information. The rich set of routine tests and diagnostic tests are accessible with just a few touch clicks. You can quickly configure settings on the outputs. A rich command set, available either through USB or RS-232 serial ports, supports automated testing.

Source & Network Diagnostic Test Features

View Incoming Video & Data
The 780E status bar provides essential information about the incoming video. The Video Display Test shows the incoming video and essential video and audio metadata. Both provide quick time to insight when conducting routine tests or diagnosing interoperability problems.

Test Response to EDIDs
Many interoperability problems are related to EDIDs. 780E enables you to emulate any EDID to test a source’s response. You can use commercial EDIDs or test EDIDs with specific video and audio support. Test with EDIDs with known anomalies or grab an EDID from a UHD TV for future testing.

View Aux Channel Transactions
Complex interoperability problems require visibility into the auxiliary channel. You can monitor HDMI and HDBaseT Display Data Channel data to view EDID, HDCP SCDC (HDMI) and CEC (HDMI) transactions. Also view DisplayPort link training logs on the Aux Channel. Check details of each transaction and distribute to colleagues and subject matter experts.

Verify Distribution Network from Far End

Verify Cable / Network (Loop)
The 780E enables you to test distribution equipment to verify integrity of extenders, repeaters, matrix switches and distribution amps. You can test individual devices or entire networks including digital video cables.

Verify Video at Far End
The 780E supports testing of installed distribution networks from the far-end at the display.

Sink (Display) Test & Diagnostic Features

Verify Video
Select from CEA and VESA formats or create custom formats including 4K resolutions for UHD testing. Use the test pattern library to verify specific video display elements. Set bit depth, pixel encoding, colorimetry and sampling parameters. Use industry standard patterns for color calibration. Scroll bitmaps to test motion artifacts.

Verify EDID Contents
Many interoperability problems are EDID related. View EDID contents of a connected display to verify audio and video capabilities (including HDR elements). Verify the structure of an EDID and check for compliance.
