Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today announced that the Agilent
HDMI 2.0 6G test solution has been selected by Simplay
Labs after the HDMI Forum certified it as an official compliance
test tool.
Agilent’s solution provides the widest coverage for HDMI physical layer
compliance test. Certification was achieved using the collaborative
framework of Simplay Labs Authorized Test Centers, the world’s leading
HD testing service provider, with locations in Sunnyvale, California;
Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen, China; and Seoul, Korea.
In the new HDMI 2.0 specification, the transmission bandwidth of 18 Gbps
is one of the most important extensions that allow 4K image transmission
with 4:4:4 full-color format. The Agilent
ParBERT 81250A and new AWG
M8190A support 18 Gbps physical-level testing, including 6G
physical-level jitter tolerance and eye diagram, which are important in
identifying IC level performance.
“We’re glad to be working with Simplay Labs, delivering the 6G testing
solution,” said Stefan Friebe, HDMI program lead for Agilent. “This
solution will help Simplay Labs’ HDMI ATCs do faster compliance testing
and development for many R&D customers.”
Simplay Labs is launching the testing service to 6G bps HDMI 2.0
products. The majority of its Authorized Test Centers use the Agilent
E4887A-007 high-end TMDS signal generator solution because of its
full range of capabilities, performance and dedication in presenting
serial data generation and analysis test capabilities to accelerate HDMI
2.0 and 1.4 tests.
“Simplay Labs is excited to announce the HDMI 2.0 6Gbps testing service
is available with the support from Agilent,” said Solomon Langley,
general manager of Simplay Labs. “The ongoing collaboration between
Agilent and Simplay Labs to deliver HDMI 2.0 testing solutions ensures
that our customers have compliant products across the extensive HDMI
ecosystem.”
The Agilent HDMI 2.0 test solution covers all physical layer compliance
tests, such as source and sink test. Agilent HDMI
compliance software N5990A is available to provide test automation
for fast and easy compliance testing from the company’s solution partner BitifEye.
“BitifEye continues to cooperate closely with Agilent and development
partners such as Simplay Labs on the rapid implementation and support of
comprehensive automated HDMI test solutions,” said Alexander Schmitt,
CEO of BitifEye.
