The 980 HDMI Phy & Protocol Aux Channel Analyzer module for testing DDC bus compliance. The initial release of the new module supports compliance testing of the HDMI DDC bus voltage and timing parameters in accordance with the HDMI 1.4b Clarification Version 1.04. Future releases of the module will support functional tests and compliance tests on other HDMI auxiliary channels.

The 980 Phy & Protocol Aux Channel Analyzer module’s DDC compliance tests enable you to identify compliance failures early in the development cycle. The solution is an ideal for pre-testing and self-testing (where permitted) your HDMI 1.4 source or sink device. Pre-testing and self-testing reduces cost of testing or retesting at an Authorized Test Center (ATC) and enables you to meet time to market requirements. You can save the results and distribute them to colleagues.

The 980 HDMI Phy and Protocol Aux Channel Analyzer module's tests can be controlled either through the PC-based 980 GUI Manager or through the embedded 980 GUI Manager running on the 980 platform itself. The 980's built-in color touch screen provides a graphical user interface (GUI) to control the module and run the compliance tests.
