Running a video analysis test

The procedures below describe how to run the video analysis test on an HDMI source device through the 980
Manager. The Video Analysis panel enables you to view the captured video images. It provides thumbnails of
each captured frame. It also enables you to navigate to the Data Decode panel to view the transactions for that
frame. The Video Analysis panel can synchronize with the Data Decode panel by pressing the ALT key and
clicking on a frame. You can also synchronize by activating the sync button
Data Decode panel. Once you synchronize the Data Decode panel to a frame you can view the transactions for
that frame in the Data Decode panel.
To run the video analysis test:
1. Select the 980 that you are using to capture the data from your HDMI source device under test from the
pull-down menu.
2. Set the Capture Buffer Size slidebar to a percent value to meet your requirements. You can capture up to
about 2GB of data which is about 1150 frames at 576p/480p and about 204 frames at 1080p which includes
the video. If you do not want to capture the video and only capture the metadata, you can store well over
100,000 frames of data.
3. Set the Capture Buffer Position slidebar to a percent value to meet your requirements. This slide bar enables
you to set the position of the trigger event within the captured data. This is a slidebar that provides an
indication (on the right) of the location within the captured data, expressed as a percent with 0% indicating that
the trigger event occurs at the beginning of the captured data and 100% indicating that the trigger event occurs
at the end of the captured data.
4. Select the Capture tab under the Options section of the Capture Control panel.
5. Select All (Audio, Video, Data Islands) in the Data Selection Type pull-down menu provided as shown below.
Then make sure you check the Video Analysis check box.
