testing. Functional test “analyzers” often support only real time monitoring. The 980 module supports capture, store
and analysis as well as Real Time monitoring.
For these same reasons, the 980 HDMI Protocol Analyzer module can support all of the tests in the HDMI and
MHL source protocol compliance test specification. Functional test instruments cannot. For example, the 980
HDMI Protocol Analyzer supports all the source Protocol tests in Test 7-17 of the HDMI Compliance Test
Specification and the Basic Protocol source tests in the section 3.2.2.2 in the MHL Compliance Test Specification
related to control periods, preamble and guard bands. Similarly the 980 HDMI Protocol Analyzer module can
measure the audio sample rate precisely and therefore measure audio jitter correctly. Functional test instruments
cannot support these tests correctly.
1.2 Scope of this User Guide
This User Guide provides descriptive and procedural information on the HDMI HDCP 2.2 compliance test option.
Although you can run the compliance tests through the 980 HDMI Protocol Analyzer’s “embedded GUI,” all the
examples used in the procedures in this document are taken from the external standalone PC 980 GUI Manager.
The procedures are identical between the embedded GUI running through the 980 front panel display and the
external standalone PC application but the look and feel is slightly different.
