1.5.2 Embedded 980 GUI Manager – Real Time Monitoring
You can operate the 980 fully through the built-in color touch screen display using the embedded version of the
980 GUI Manager. In addition to the basic operation of the 980 Protocol Analyzer the touch screen display GUI
also enables you to view the incoming video from a source even when encrypted with HDCP content protection.
The ability to view the incoming video also enables you to control the menus of the source device (e.g. STB or DVD
player) to ensure that it is in the correct mode. The built-in GUI also enables you to view the HDMI video metadata
and DDC/C-Bus transactions in real time, as they are being captured, using the Real Time mode.
You can transfer data captures taken from the embedded 980 GUI Manager through the built-in touch display to
your PC where they can be viewed through the external 980 GUI Manager and also disseminated to others for
analysis.
