Applications

• Design and Validation of HEAC Physical Layer

HDMI Ethernet and Audio Return Channel (HEAC) Physical Layer Compliance Testing

Engineers designing and validating the HEAC physical layer of their devices face constant pressure to improve efficiency. Engineers need to perform a wide range of compliance tests quickly and reliably right on their bench.

HDMI 1.4a specification and HDMI Ethernet Audio Back Channel enables networking of HDMI devices, speeds up signaling between transmitter and receiver devices, and also provides a faster path for the audio return channel. Option HEAC Compliance Test Software, which meets the HDMI 1.4a HEAC specification, automates a comprehensive range of tests enabling unprecedented efficiency for performing HDMI 1.4a electrical validation.

Repeatable Results

Option HEAC software embeds the HEAC CTS 1.4a compliance test procedures, ensuring dependable results. Accurate jitter testing and precise violation testing delivers repeatable results. Perform accurate transmitter and receiver tests with closed-loop measurements that eliminate nonlinearities of the test setup. Authentic measurement techniques and automation eliminate errors to provide accurate results.

Option HEAC leverages the TekExpress software to handle multiple equipment interactions enabling an automated solution for HEAC transmitter and receiver testing. The Direct Synthesis method ensures greater repeatability as it eliminates the need for hardware PCB traces to insert jitter components and combining of audio and Ethernet signals using hardware combiners.

Faster Validation Cycles

The unparalleled automation offered on the HEAC leveraging Direct Synthesis capability enables faster validation. Shrink test times for HEAC testing with HEAC remotely controlling the DPO/DSA/MSO real-time oscilloscope and AWG to automate the complex test process. Demonstrate efficiency by using the “Select All” feature to perform multiple tests. Instantaneously generate CSV-format summaries or detailed reports at a press of a button.

Complete Solution for Validation

Option HEAC offers a wide range of tests enabling thorough verification for transmitter and receiver devices. Perform accurate validation using a comprehensive solution that includes test fixtures, DPO/DSA/MSO70000 Series real-time oscilloscopes, P7300 and TDP1000 Series differential probes, P6245 and TAP1500 Series active probes, AWG5000/7000 Series arbitrary waveform generators, and DSA8200 sampling oscilloscope.
