Testing EDID for HDMI compliance in display (sink) devices

The generator supports the following EDID and video HDMI compliance tests in
accordance with the HDMI Compliance Test Specification 1.3 (CTS):

Test ID 8-1: EDID Readable

Test ID 8-2: EDID VESA Structure

Test ID 8-3: CEA Timing Extension Structure

Test ID 8-17: 861B Format Support Requirements

Test ID 8-18: HDMI Format Support Requirements

Test ID 8-19: Pixel Encoding Requirements

Test ID 8-20: Video Format Timing

These tests are intended for in-house testing of products before submission to an HDMI
ATC for full certification testing.

Note: This feature is not supported on the 881 generator.

HDMI sink compliance testing is conducted through the generator’s HDMI OUT connector.
A standard HDMI-to-HDMI cable connects the device under test to the generator. The
generator must be configured to output HDMI signals.

After making the physical connections, you must specify the capabilities of the sink display
under test, which are based on the Capabilities Declaration Form (Appendix 3) of the
Compliance Test Specification. This enables the generator to compare the expected
results with the actual results measured from the display.
