Compare HDMI signal-generation platforms for display development, sink-device testing, high-resolution video evaluation, and interface validation.
The ASTRODESIGN VG-887 provides a compact platform for generating HDMI 2.1 test signals in development, quality assurance, and production environments.
The VG-887 supports both Fixed Rate Link (FRL) and TMDS transmission modes and can generate HDMI video signals at data rates up to 48 Gbps in FRL mode. It supports uncompressed 8K/60p YCbCr 4:2:0 and 4K/120p YCbCr 4:4:4 output at up to 12-bit color depth.
Engineers can check FRL Link Training, SCDC, and EDID status directly from the operating interface, perform HDCP 2.3 and 1.4 testing, and output either built-in test patterns or custom image files.
Generate HDMI signals using FRL at up to 12 Gbps per lane across four lanes, or TMDS at up to 18 Gbps.
Supports uncompressed 8K/60p YCbCr 4:2:0 and 4K/120p YCbCr 4:4:4 transmission with up to 12-bit color depth.
Supports Display Stream Compression for evaluating HDMI 2.1 devices and high-resolution video workflows.
Check FRL Link Training, SCDC, and EDID status from the VG-887 operating interface during HDMI evaluation.
Supports testing of HDCP 2.3 and HDCP 1.4 for HDMI source and display development workflows.
Output pre-installed patterns or user image files loaded from USB flash storage or saved in internal memory.
Supports video-level adjustment, window-size adjustment, and scrolling for detailed image and display evaluation.
Control the generator from a PC through LAN or RS-232C for automated and production-oriented test environments.
