    CT130 User Manual 1. Introduction The AVerMedia 4K HDMI Signal Detector CT130 is designed to check and report DC voltage level of each HDMI signal pin and quickly tests the continuity of all HDMI features. This tester connects a source and a display to verify whether all digital signals are being transmitted properly, and it also ensures that the source HDMI signals are compliant with the specifications.

    CT130 detects whether an HDMI cable is plugged in or not. After an HDMI cable is plugged in, the CT130 starts to measure the DC voltages of HDMI signals (TMDS, power 5V). If all signals pass the validation, the TMDS switch changes to path 1 and the LED indicator turns blue.

    4. Make sure the DUT is ON. 5. Connect the CT130 input port and the DUT output port using an HDMI cable. 6. After the HDMI cables are plugged in and 5 V power is detected, the CT130 will begin measuring and qualifying video.

    9. Repeat steps 4–8 to perform qualification for the next device. 9. PC-Operating Mode The CT130 is equipped with a USB port, which provides not only power but a Virtual COM port for Windows operating systems. In PC-Operating Mode, users can send desired commands and receive the result of measurement through USB connection.

    Figure ‎ 9 .1-1 PC-Operating Mode Scenario 9.2 UART Communication Protocol The CT130 follows the Request-Reply strategy. In PC-Operating Mode, you can send a desired command after the connection has been established. When the CT130 receives a complete command, it starts the action as defined command and then replies the result to the host PC.

    TMDS signal switch to path 2 (MCU) before sending any ADC command. NOTE: The CT130 spends about 200 msec to start from “sending each Read ADC value command” to “getting the reply describing DC value”. All other commands will be ignored during ADC measurement.
  • Page 15 The formats of replies are the same as “read‎ADC‎value” if the command‎is‎“read All ADC values”‎(0x2B),‎but the CT130 replies continuously after all ADC actions have been done. After every result has been replied, the CT130 will send a SUCCESS (0xA52B00000000000000D0) to PC. Figure ‎ 9 .2.2-1 shows how it works.
