Feature Enhancements for 882CA/882C/881C Release 2.11.0 - vxWorks: 20.1884800

The following features are included in the Release 2.11.0.

• PanBars image has been added. Top half of this image is colorbar, and bottom half is a 10-bar ramp.
• ThreeBar image has been added. This image has three vertical white bars on black background.
• TVBar875 image has been added. This is the colorbar with all bars in 75% luminance.
• TVBarH image has been added. This is a horizontal colorbar.
• Pairing image has been added. This image can be used to detect when fields are reversed in interlaced monitors.
• DMT1260D format has been added. This is 1280x800 @ 60Hz.

The following anomalies have been corrected in the Release 2.11.0.

• Hot Plug Detect is no longer held low after running HDCP Compliance Test sink tests.
• For HDCP Compliance Test's EditPCP, Source Max KSV can now be set to 127 via front panel.
• HDCP Compliance Test can be properly even if the format path or image path is not set to the default path.
• Fixed the gateware issue where a certain combination of hardware and gateware didn't boot up the generator when cold.
• Monitoring HDMI source signal via the SPDIF-AV port is now fixed.
• LipSync image text shows up properly in all formats.
• LipSync image automatically resets itself when the box goes off the screen.
• EDID Editor can now correctly load different displays' EDIDs in XML format.
• Samples.o image located in /tffs0/library/images/ can now be loaded and used correctly.
• Generator's clock now shows correct time in 12-hour mode.
• MUTE? command returns with the correct value even when only HDMI output 2 is connected to the display.
• ACA now shows the entire string for <Set OSD Name> CEC opcode in "Details" window.
• PacketRx image no longer displays "Please Wait" message over InfoFrame information.
• XISH:PATH command now gives an error message if you try to set the parameters beyond the limitation of the selected format.
• Fixed FlashRGB image.
  

• Test steps TT01 and TT02 of Test Section 1A-01 are not tested because the application does not have visability into the control bits of the TMDS data islands. Therefore a Pass result on the test report only applies to the tests within that section that are executed.
  
  
• Test steps TT01 and TT02 of Test Section 1B-01 are not tested because the application does not have visability into the control bits of the TMDS data islands. Therefore a Pass result on the test report only applies to the tests within that section that are executed.
  
  
• Test Section 1A-08 is not tested because this test requires a DVD with a list of KSVs that have been revoked. We will support this in the future when the DVD with SRM is available.
  
  
• Test Section 1A-09 cannot be tested because the application cannot collect the TMDS video.
  
  
• Test Section 2C-01 test S302 cannot be tested because the application cannot currently process Pj. Therefore a Pass result on the test report only applies to the tests within that section that are executed. We plan to support this in the future.
  
  
• Test Section 2C-04 cannot be tested because the application cannot control the positioning of the encryption enable signal in DVI.
  
  

• do not use CMD Terminal tool in the generator's web interface to run the Compliance Test via command line; use Telnet (Ethernet) or HyperTerminal (serial) instead
  
  
• try running the tests in batch mode by using the front panel interface
  
  
• if there is a problem, try running the tests one by one via the command line (see the repeater AB test procedure below as an example and refer to the user guide)
  
  
• running the tests using release 2.6.1 (20.1883610 firmware) saves the test reports in /tffs0/library/reports/
  
  
• running the tests using a release with firmware version 20.1883611 or later saves the test reports in /card0/library/reports if there is a PCMCIA card inserted in the 882CA (/tffs0/library/reports/ if no PCMCIA is inserted)
  
  

• you can monitor the transactions on Tx port 1 using the ACA
  
  

• you can monitor the transactions if you have another 882C/882CA/882E/882EA and a TPA-ACA-3R
  
  
• connect the output of the source device to TPA-ACA-3R's DUT 1, the input 1 of 882CA (test equipment) to TPA-ACA-3R's DUT 2, and output 1 of a different 882C/882CA/882E/882EA (ACA monitoring device) to TPA-ACA-3R's OUT 1
  
  
• use the ACA on the 882C/882CA/882E/882EA that is not the test equipment to monitor the transactions on Tx port 1
  
  

• use a separate source device and connect it to the upstream port of the repeater
  
  
• use the 882CA's Rx 1 port as the sink device and connect it to the downstream port of the repeater
  
  
• you can monitor either downstream or upstream transactions (not both at the same time) if you have another 882C/882CA/882E/882EA and a TPA-ACA-3R
  
  
• in order to monitor the downstream transactions, connect the downstream of the repeater device to TPA-ACA-3R's DUT 1, the input 1 of 882CA (test equipment) to TPA-ACA-3R's DUT 2, and output 1 of a different 882C/882CA/882E/882EA (ACA monitoring device) to TPA-ACA-3R's OUT 1
  
  
• in order to monitor the upstream transactions, connect the output of the source device to TPA-ACA-3R's DUT 1, the upstream of the repeater device to TPA-ACA-3R's DUT 2, and output 1 of a different 882C/882CA/882E/882EA (ACA monitoring device) to TPA-ACA-3R's OUT 1
  
  
• use the ACA on the 882C/882CA/882E/882EA that is not the test equipment to monitor the transactions on Tx port 1
  
  

• connect the 882CA's Tx 1 port to the upstream port of the repeater



• connect the 882CA's Rx 1 port to the downstream port of the repeater



• make sure HdcpProd image is not selected on the 882CA before running the tests
