Feature Enhancements for 882CA/882C/881C Release 2.22.0 - vxWorks: 20.1887000

Notice: For this release, the CA platform cannot perform HDCP compliance test for source or repeater

The following features have been added in the Release 2.22.0.

• Added Regulate test pattern.
• Added 3D output menu.
• HDMI 1.4 CEC CT updates.
• About menu shows firmware version and model name
• Improved precision of chromaticity value in EDID Editor. EDID Editor version is now 1.2.

The following anomalies have been corrected in the Release 2.22.0.

• Fixed issue in which EDID Compliance Test did not show 3D 4K x 2K pass descriptions.
• Fixed various issues with HDMI 1.4 CEC Compliance Test.
• Fixed various issues with HDMI 1.3 CEC Compliance Test.
• Improvements to XML parser.
• Improved EDID Formats format list for better IT format coverage.
• Improved Auto-CDF function of HDMI EDID Compliance Test
• Improved boot sequence messages to show additional hardware information

• Notice: For this release, the CA platform cannot perform HDCP compliance test for source or repeater
  
  
• Test steps TT01 and TT02 of Test Section 1A-01 are not tested because the application does not have visibility 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 visibility 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• Test Section 1A-08 is not tested because this test requires a DVD with a list of KSVs that have been revoked.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-04 cannot be tested because the application cannot control the positioning of the encryption enable signal in DVI.
  

• 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)
  
  
• the test reports will be saved 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



• you can monitor the downstream transactions on Rx port 1 using the ACA



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

The Release 2.22.0 is comprised of the following software components.

Now you can use Quantum Data's new AutoUpdate utility to upgrade your generator firmware and gateware. The AutoUpdate utility automates the process of upgrading firmware. It guides the user through the upgrade process, checking the Quantum Data website for the latest version and installing all files in the correct location on the generator.

Read the AutoUpdate Instructions.
