Diagnose and Troubleshoot 
Installing UHD video distribution networks whether in residences or commercial, 
industrial or institutional facilities is complex. These installations do not all go well. 
A variety of failure conditions can occur such as no video, degraded video, flashing 
video, unexpected video, etc. These failures point to a range of underlying 
problems. 
Whether verifying an HDMI cable or a re-terminated HDBaseT cable run, checking 
an HDBaseT extender, testing the EDID handling of an HDMI switch, checking 
HDCP content protection protocols or just verifying a video distribution network 
end-to-end, this compact, affordable 280 set will save you time on site, reduce 
callbacks and provide you with assurance that the video distribution network you 
just installed will run problem free. 
Ease of Use 
The 280 is battery powered with an embedded touch screen. It provides ease of 
use and fast Time-to-Insight when testing cables and distribution gear and 
checking interoperability between video components and diagnosing failures.

The Teledyne LeCroy quantumdata 280 Test Set is a combination test 
instrument set comprised of an HDMI/HDBaseT Video Generator (Tx) and 
Analyzer (Rx). Each device is small compact and battery powered. The 280 
Test Set is ideally suited for professional A/V integrators and home theatre 
installers. This feature-rich test set enables you to conduct basic 
verification and diagnostic tests on HDMI/HDBaseT cables, video 
distribution networks and individual A/V components. The HDMI input and 
output ports support testing up to 18 Gbps data rate and 600 MHz pixel 
rate and the HDBaseT input and output ports support testing up to 300 
MHz pixel rate (Long Reach mode supported up to 1080p). 
The instrument set’s features and convenient operation can shorten time 
on the job site and reduce callbacks by enabling you to run basic 
verification and diagnostic tests on complex video distribution installations 
quickly and efficiently. 
This convenient test Instrument set can pay for itself by eliminating
