The 980 Protocol Scope is an analyzer for HDMI source devices. It captures and decodes HDPC-protected video data content such as data islands, infoframes, audio sample packets as well as DDC transactions including HDCP, EDID and CEC data. You can also generate the HEAC traffic as well for testing the HDMI 1.4 features Audio Return Channel (ARC) and HDMI Ethernet Channel (HEC). You can capture and decode data with the 980 directly connected to a source or (optionally) while snooping between a source and a sink device ("pass-through") mode. The built-in 10.4 inch color touch screen provides a graphical user interface (GUI) to control the instrument and to view incoming video even when encrypted with HDCP. NEW! The 980 now enables you to view the HDMI metadata and DDC traffic in real time through the new Real Time monitoring mode.

Introducing the latest video test instrument from Quantum Data for testing HDCP interoperability in HDMI systems. The HT-180 Handshake Tester for HDMI offered by Quantum Data enables users in R & D labs, service provider interoperability labs and field service techs to identify the root cause of HDCP, EDID and hot plug related interoperability problems in HDMI systems. The HT-180 provides HDMI ports for passive connection into an HDMI system comprised of a source (e.g. set top box or DVD), repeater (e.g. AVR controller) and an HDTV. A graphical utility is provided for users to enter information about the site and the equipment in the HDMI system under test. Tests are initiated with the press of a button. When the test is complete, the unit's LCD display presents simple reason codes with severity levels to identify suspect behavior of specific HDMI products in the system. During the test, the HT-180 monitors the HDCP, EDID and hot plug transactions over the I2C bus, analyzes the results and stores the transactions in a log file. The log files can be viewed with the Auxiliary Channel Analyzer on-site or later during post analysis of HDMI system problems
