How to Force SDTV Timing



When preparing for HDCP Compliance testing of sources and repeaters, error 2060 probably means that you have selected an HDTV format that the EST does not support, such as 1080P. The HDCP Compliance Test Specification specifies that the compliance tests are performed at SDTV resolutions, so please try selecting an SDTV format such as 640x480p @ 59.94/60Hz, and then activate the EST with the QD:PROD:EST command.

For both Source and Repeater testing, this can be a problem when the source does not let you select the video timing format. It is common for the source to send the preferred timing format indicated in the default EDID of the 882EA, which is 1080i. One way to get past this issue is to configure the 882EA to use an alternate EDID in which the preferred timing is an SDTV format. Follow these instructions to install and activate an SDTV EDID:

To Install
  1. Download these 2 files and save them to your PC:
  2. Launch the 882EA web interface, and go into FTP Browser.
  3. Download Edmt0660.xml to the tffs0:/Library/EDID folder on the 882EA.
  4. In the 882EA tffs0:/Library folder, create a Scripts folder if it is not already present.
  5. Download edmt0660.o to the tffs0:/Library/Scripts folder on the 882EA.
To Activate
  1. Press the TOOLS key so that you see the TOOLS menu (with System and Reports at the top.)
  2. Press the Down Arrow to scroll the menu down so that you see the ScriptSDK selection.
  3. Press the soft key for ScriptSDK. You should see a menu that contains edmt0660
  4. Press the soft key for edmt0660.
This will load a special EDID in which the preferred timing format is DMT0660, 640x480@60 Hz. This EDID will remain active until it is overridden by another EDID load, or until the 882EA power is cycled. Note that HDCP Compliance Tests may also reset back to the default EDID, so the next time you begin a test you should again activate this special EDID.
