APPLICATIONS – QUALIFYING NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE
Verifying a Video Link End-to-End
The 280 Installation test set enables installers to check a video distribution network prior to the delivery of the video
source and display components. The 280G Tx device can be placed at the source end and the 280A Rx device at the far
end where the display will be mounted. A series of tests can be run to verify the link bandwidth capability up to
4K@60Hz even if the link will only be transmitting 1080p initially. This enables you to future proof the link. The test set
can test for basic signal integrity and even test protocols such as HDCP (content protection), EDID and NEW! HDR
metadata transmission. When failures occur individual component devices and cables can be tested separately.
Verify Individual Cables, Devices and Components
If you encounter a distribution link problem during qualification testing (above), the 280 test set enables you to test each
distinct element: cables, extender, switches, scaler etc. to quickly identify the root cause of a link failure. NEW! You can
test HDBaseT links in “Long Reach” mode as well. Here are just a few examples below:
280G Tx
HDMI Switch
280A Rx
280G Tx
280A Rx

280A Rx
280G Tx
280A Rx
Test HDMI switch and HDMI cables for
EDID, HDCP and video formats.
Test signal quality of HDMI or
HDBaseT Cat cable run.
Test HDMI/HDBaseT extender. 280G Tx
serves as HDMI source; 280A Rx serves
as HDBaseT receiver.
HDMI A/V Rx/Scaler
Test HDMI scaler for EDID, HDCP
and video formats.
HDMI Switch
HDMI/HDBaseT

280A Rx
Run end-to-end video and protocol tests
to check the video distribution network
cables and components for up to 4K video
transmission and HDCP 2.2.
