Quantum Data’s support for HDCP 2.2 compliance testing on the 980 Protocol Analyzer is a significant expansion to the existing support for the protocol, video, audio, and advanced features compliance test sections of the HDMI (and MHL) CTS for both source and sink devices.

In addition to the HDCP 2.2 compliance test, the 980 HDMI Protocol Analyzer module supports compliance testing for both HDMI 1.4b and HDMI 2.0 source and sink devices. The module also offers a debug environment that helps identify and resolve HDMI and HDCP compliance related problems during development.

Developers can monitor HDCP transactions and examine the encryption pulse occurrences within the HDMI stream to help identify the root cause of a compliance test failure. All raw capture data used for diagnosing HDCP compliance failures as well as the HDCP test results can be transferred to the host PC and disseminated to colleagues for additional analysis.

The HDCP compliance test is initiated through the 980 Manager either through the 980 touch screen or from a PC. Once initiated, the tests run to completion with limited user interaction required. When a test series has been completed, the instrument issues a detailed report that provides pass/fail results for each individual test. Reports can be viewed through a web browser, transferred over a network, or printed.
