Quantumdata 804

The Teledyne LeCroy rack mountable quantumdata 804 Video Test Generator is optimized for testing modern HDMI HDTVs. The 804 Video Generator supports testing of HDMI resolutions operating up to 225 MHz.  This enables testing HD TVs with up to 225 MHz clock rates.

The quantumdata 804 Video Generators feature four (4) HDMI outputs—all active simultaneously—for testing HDTVs with multiple HDMI inputs. This eliminates the need for splitters often required for testing each HDMI input on an HDTV. These video generators can output component analog and composite analog video as well as HDMI. Switching between video timings and images is fast. The 804 are equipped with all the standard video timings and test patterns—including support for 3D—necessary for testing HDTVs including tests for HDMI protocols such as HDCP, EDID and CEC.

The 804 Video Generators test compressed and uncompressed HDMI audio formats using a variety of audio test signals. An HDTV’s analog audio inputs can also be tested using the instrument’s programmable analog audio outputs.

Manufacturing engineers can choose to operate either 804 series instrument in a few different ways. The instrument can be controlled through the user friendly touch screen interface which also provides status during testing. For control by an automated test system, the 804 can be operated through an extensive command set. The 804 supports the same commands that production facilities have become familiar with on The Teledyne LeCroy quantumdata 802 and 881 series test instruments. Alternatively, an optional programmable keypad can be attached to the USB Port or RS-232 port for keypad control.

The 804 provide the necessary features and functions for testing HDTVs on a production and are offered an attractive price. Contact for ordering and pricing information.
