SOURCE & NETWORK DIAGNOSTIC TEST FEATURES
View Incoming Video & Data
The 780C status bar provides
essential information about the
incoming video. The Video Display
Test shows the incoming video and
essential video and audio metadata.
Both provide quick time to insight
when conducting routine tests or
diagnosing interoperability problems.
Test Response to EDIDs
Many interoperability problems are
related to EDIDs. 780C enables you to
emulate any EDID to test a source’s
response. You can use commercial
EDIDs or test EDIDs with specific video
and audio support. Test with EDIDs
with known anomalies or grab an EDID
from a UHD TV for future testing.
View Auxiliary Channel
Transactions
Complex interoperability problems
require visibility into the auxiliary
channel. You can monitor HDMI and
HDBaseT Display Data Channel data
to view EDID, HDCP, SCDC and CEC
transactions. You can check details
of each transaction in the log and
distribute the logs to colleagues and
subject matter experts.
Verify Cable / Network (Loop)
The 780C enables you to test
distribution equipment to verify
integrity of extenders, matrix switches
and distribution amps. You can test
individual devices or entire networks
including digital video cables.
Verify Video at Far End
The 780C supports testing of
installed distribution networks
from the far-end at the display.

SINK (DISPLAY) TEST & DIAGNOSTIC FEATURES
Verify Audio
You can use the 780C to verify audio
on displays or audio systems using
programmable LPCM test tones. Set
sampling rate, bit depth, amplitude
and number of channels. You can
select Dolby and DTS compressed
audio clips including Dolby TrueHD &
DTS Master Audio.
Verify HDCP Authentication
HDCP authentication problems occur
in complex digital video distribution
networks. Use the HDCP test to
quickly check HDCP 1.4
authentication. Enabling and
disabling HDCP can quickly reveal
the nature of an interoperability
problem. Monitor the HDCP
transactions during the HDCP test
using the Auxiliary Channel Analyzer.
Verify Video
Select from CEA, VESA & SMPTE
formats or create your own custom
formats including 4K resolutions for
UHD testing. Use the test pattern
library to verify specific video display
elements. Set bit depth, pixel
encoding, colorimetry and sampling
parameters. Use industry standard
patterns for color calibration. Create
custom bitmap test patterns. Scroll
bitmaps to test motion artifacts.
Verify EDID Contents
Many interoperability problems are
related to EDIDs. You can view the EDID
contents of any connected display to
verify its audio/video capabilities
(including HDR elements). You can
verify the structure of an EDID and
check for compliance.
