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
truck rolls and shortening time on the job site.
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.
SOURCE TESTING OR TESTING DISTRIBUTION NETWORK UPSTREAM
Verify and Troubleshooting a Video Network Upstream
In the example below the 280A Rx unit serves as a 4K video display to verify various video resolutions, bit depth settings,
colorimetry, sampling,
NEW!
HDR, etc. You can also verify the +5V and emulate an EDID to verify that the upstream network is
passing it through to the source properly. HDCP can be verified as well using either HDCP 1.4 or HDCP 2.2. If you encounter
problems you can
segment the network
by moving the 280A Rx upstream to run further tests. In this case the 280A Rx can
serve either as an HDMI or an HDBaseT sink. Segmenting the network either from the upstream direction of the downstream
direction enables you to
determine where the failure occurs.

SINK TESTING OR TESTING DISTRIBUTION NETWORK DOWNSTREAM
Verify and Troubleshooting a Video Network Downstream
In the example below the 280G Tx is placed at the source end. The 280G Tx will serve as an HDMI 4K video source and
check various video resolutions and video settings. You can also verify the hot plug voltage and check for a valid EDID.
HDCP can be verified as well using either HDCP 1.4 or HDCP 2.2. If you encounter problems you can
segment the
network
by moving the 280G Tx downstream to run further tests at various points in the network. In this case the 280G
Tx can serve either as an HDMI or an HDBaseT source. Segmenting the network enables you to
determine where the
failure occurs—to identify the problem device or cable.

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.
