6 DP Multi-Stream Transport (MST) Testing
The 980 DP Video Generator / Analyzer module emulates an MST source for testing an MST branch device or
MST-capable monitor. Up to four (4) streams are supported depending on bandwidth (resolutions) with a depth of
one. You can configure the MST topology using a graphical interface. The optional Auxiliary Channel Analyzer
(ACA) utility depicts the MST negotiations with the connected MST Rx device.
When MST is configured, the same video pattern and audio signal is transmitted to all downstream nodes. There is
a number indicator that appears on the upper left screen of the downstream MST sink that identifies which stream
is being delivered.
