The 980 DP1.2 Video Generator module is equipped with all the standard video timings and test patterns for testing high end displays including tests for protocols such as HDCP and EDID. You can configure the list of video format timings and test patterns using the Format List Editor and Image List Editor. This facilitates convenient and quick access during testing. The module provides a Format Editor for creating custom format timings or for quickly making modifications to existing timings for testing. The 980 DP1.2 Video Generator module offers a variety of features for testing DisplayPort protocols. You can control the module’s link training parameters through the user friendly 980 GUI Manager. You can set the limits on the lane count and link rate and allow the link training engine to establish link training based on those limitations or you can force link training parameters—lane count, link rate, voltage swing, pre-emphasis. The EDID Decode feature enables you to examine the contents of the EDID of the connected display in human readable text. The DPCD Decode feature enables you to examine the DPCD registers of the connected display in human readable text. The optional Auxiliary Channel Analyzer (ACA) application enables you to monitor the DisplayPort Aux Channel for link training and HDCP transactions as well as EDID exchanges between the module and a connected display. You can monitor in real time through the 980B’s embedded touch display and save files for later viewing or for sharing with colleagues at other locations.
