Overview

This section provides an overview of the 804/804A/804B Video Test Generator and the scope of the User Guide.
1.1

804, 804A and 804B Models

There are three models in the 804 series. The 804 Video Test Generator and the 804A Video Test Generator. The 804
supports HDMI pixel rates up to 165MHz. The 804A model supports pixel rates up to 300MHz (at 24 bit color). The 804A
therefore supports resolutions up to 4K x 2K at 50/60Hz with 4:2:0 pixel encoding as specified by the HDMI 2.0 specification.
The 804B model supports pixel rates up to 600MHz (at 24 bit color) at 50/60Hz with 4:4:4 pixel encoding. Each model
supports deep color.
1.2

Intended Use of the Product

The 804 series video generators are optimized for testing modern HDMI flat panel TVs. They feature 4 HDMI outputs—all
active simultaneously—for testing HDTVs with multiple HDMI inputs. This eliminates the cost of splitters often required for
testing each HDMI input on a TV. Each HDMI interface supports up to 36 bit/pixel (12-bit/component) deep color mode. The
804 series video generators can also output component analog and composite analog.
