Cable Mode

In this mode, PRO-HDMI2Gear offers a link quality estimator following the Character Error Detection mechanism from HDMI

2.0 specification. The estimator can provide a basic link quality evaluation regarding the cable or any other HDMI link connec ted to PRO-HDMI2Gear. Please notice that the evaluation result can provide an insight into the link quality under testing, but not always reflects the real robustness of HDMI 2.0 full bandwidth connection. The stability of the full bandwidth HDMI 2.0 con nection is affected not only by the cable or link quality but also many other factors, such as, the signal integrity of the source, the ambient temperature, the reception of the display, and so on.

Therefore the testing result is just for a reference.

*

How to run Cable Mode:

*

** Make sure the tight connection between the PRO-HDMI2Gear and the cable.

Use buttons to select MODE category and enter CABLE mode.

Keep pressing ENTER button for about 5 seconds to start the link test. The PRO-HDMI2Gear will evaluate the HDMI signal quality based on HDMI 2.0 specification and provide a result, PASS or NG. Please notice that during testing, PRO-HDMI2Gear will NOT take any commands from buttons except ENTER. Pressing ENTER continuously for 5 seconds will terminate the evaluation process.

Performance Criteria:

According to HDMI 2.0 specification, the performance criteria is shown ad the following table.

Test Result

PASS

NG

Requirement

The error counts of signal are less than signal clock x 10-6

The error counts of signal are more than signal clock x 10-6

Please be advised that the test result is based on the cable connection and the signal integrity of both input and output from PRO-HDMI2Gear. The indicator is usually a good reference for cable quality, but any other source or display in consideration plays an important role in the final stability of the HDMI 2.0 connection.
