Rohde & Schwarz Supports Testing of 4k Consumer Electronics Equipment with HDMI 2.0 Interface
Munich – HDMI Licensing, LLC, organisation has released a new version of its interface standard: HDMI 2.0. Rohde & Schwarz played an active role in developing the corresponding test standards. This makes the company one of the first T&M equipment manufacturers to offer an HDMI 2.0 3G mode update for its R&S VTC, R&S VTE and R&S VTS video testers just after IBC. This update enables consumer electronics manufacturers and test houses to test devices equipped with an HDMI 2.0 interface. The T&M instruments will receive a software update including features that support the new interface version. These new features will be available in an analyzer module for source tests and a generator module for sink tests and extend the modules previous 4k functionality.  Â
The new version of the HDMI standard is paving the way for the market introduction and smooth operation of ultra HD consumer electronics equipment such as TV sets, projectors and A/V receivers that transmit video data at a resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixel or 4096 x 2304 pixel at 50 Hz or 60 Hz, respectively. The full HD devices that have been available so far deliver only a fourth of this resolution. The release of the HDMI 2.0 update will allow Rohde & Schwarz video test solutions to support 4:2:0 pixel mapping and new signaling features.  Â
The HDMI 2.0 3G mode update for the R&S VT-B2361 HDMI RX 300 analyzer module and the R&S VT-B360 HDMI TX 300 generator module for the R&S VTC, R&S VTE and R&S VTS video testers will be available as of mid-October. For more information, visit www.the-av-experts.com.  Â
