Agilent Technologies' HDMI CTS 1.4 Test Solution Selected by Simplay Labs

Agilent's HDMI solution is unique in the market due to its full automation software, which speeds up testing; efficient electrical performance of the devices and fast test throughput, which increases productivity; and the HEAC (HDMI Ethernet and Audio Return Channel) sink test setup, which is independent of the TMDS signal generator, often heavily used for high-speed electrical sink testing.

Agilent has been involved with the HDMI specification since the standard was first established to help companies meet compliance testing and address the challenges presented by this technology. Agilent has developed tools in the physical, data link and protocol layers to meet the challenges posed by the standard. They are designed to reduce development costs, provide accurate test results and simplify the measurement processes for test engineers in the consumer electronics, cable manufacturer and semiconductor industries.

ATCs are using Agilent's HDMI platform to test products, identify problems, measure data, and determine whether tests have passed or failed. Agilent's modular and reliable HDMI test platform helps customers improve the quality of their consumer electronics products and meet the demand of this rapidly advancing market.

Upgrading our U.S., Korean and two China facilities will enable us to serve our customers with all HDMI Specification Version 1.4 test services, said Joseph Lias, president of Simplay Labs, LLC. Continuing to work with Agilent and its partner BitifEye Digital Test Solutions ensures that our customers' products can be effectively tested in our ATCs for HDMI 1.4 features such as 3D over HDMI, 4K video format, Content Type and the new Color Spaces.
