Quantum Data 881 - Manual (Page 20)

2 Chapter 1 Getting Started
Introduction
This User’s Guide describes the features, functions and operating procedures for the 881
and 882 Quantum Data video test instruments for testing analog and digital video display
devices. The 881 provides features for testing video displays in production environments.
The 882 is its complement. It provides extended features to test video displays for
development environments and quality assurance applications.
There are two versions of the 882: 1) the 882C (and CA which includes the analyzer) and
2) the 882D. The 882C provides two HDMI output ports (and two HDMI input ports if the
analyzer option is present), a composite video and S-video connector and a VGA
connector. The 882D provides a single HDMI output connector, a dual link DVI-I connector
and a composite video and S-video connector. The SDI/HD-SDI outputs are an option for
either the 882C or the 882D. The 882D does not support the analyzer option.
Standard features
DTV ready — Pre-programmed standard DTV formats are ready for immediate use.
Digital outputs support YCbCr color encoding. Analog outputs support tri-level composite
sync and YPbPr.
Built-in formats — Over 350 popular video formats are built in, including VESA, ATSC,
EIA-770.x, SMPTE 170, 240, 259, 267, 274, 292, 293, 295, 296, Australian,
