"With the release of TDSHT3 version 3.3.1, Tektronix provides a complete test suite for HDMI 1.3b physical layer compliance testing", says Jit Lim, Manager of Technology Solutions, Instruments Business, Tektronix.
"Tektronix is committed to providing engineers with the industry-leading serial data test capabilities to speed their HDMI 1.3 tests and improve time to market".
HDMI 1.3 is the most significant upgrade yet in the specification that has become the de facto standard interface for high-definition devices including DVD players, HD televisions, and the newest gaming devices.
HDMI 1.3 defines the latest high-definition (HD) video and audio technology that began hitting the consumer market late last year and continues to roll-out in 2007.
"High quality test and measurement instruments and solutions are fundamental to ensure compliance with the HDMI CTS 1.3b and ultimately the development of successful products that implement the HDMI 1.3 specification", says Leslie Chard, president of HDMI Licensing.
"Tektronix has demonstrated its value to HDMI adopters over the past several years with its test solutions".
"The upgrade of TDSHT3 to support version 1.3b of the CTS continues this tradition of quality and commitment by Tektronix, and adds significant value to our members".
The complete Tektronix test solution for HDMI CTS 1.3b includes high-performance hardware and comprehensive software for design and test engineers in consumer electronics, semiconductor and cable manufacturers.
Key elements incorporated into the CTS 1.3b test solution include the new DPO70804 real-time oscilloscope, the new 3.3.1 version of TDSHT3 HDMI compliance test software, DSA8200 sampling oscilloscope for time domain reflectometry (TDR) with 80E03 and an 80E04 modules, DTG5334 data timing generator with DTGM30 modules, and P7313SMA differential SMA probes.
Sink testing will also include a choice among the AWG7102 arbitrary waveform signal generator, AFG3102 arbitrary function generator with the DTGM32 module, or AWG710B with a DTGM32 module.
The DSA8200 with I-connect software provides the most cost effective and innovative TDR test capability and adds new test capability that provides a cost effective alternate to a VNA based setup.
The MSRP of the new TDSHT3 is Eur 4590 or GBP 2980.
For existing TDSHT3 customers, the upgrade is Eur 917 or GBP 595.
