Setting The Rx Hdcp Mode - Quantum Data Gen 2 980 User Manual

980 HDMI Protocol Analyzer User Guide
 Sink emulation – In the sink emulation monitoring configuration the 980 HDMI Protocol Analyzer HDMI
Rx port is connected directly to the source device under test. The 980 HDMI Protocol Analyzer is
emulating an HDMI sink device. The sink emulation mode is the typical mode of operation. You can
monitor the HDMI transactions between the source device under test and the 980 HDMI Protocol Analyzer
Rx port. All of the data types described in this manual can be monitored in the sink emulation mode unless
noted otherwise.
 Pass-Through Monitor – In the Pass-Through monitoring configuration the 980 HDMI Protocol Analyzer
HDMI Rx port is connected to the source device under test and the 980 HDMI Protocol Analyzer HDMI Tx
port is connected to a sink device. The pass-through mode enables you to monitor the HDMI traffic
passively between an HDMI source and an HDMI sink device.

Encrypted Link Analyzer - (Optional) In the Encrypted Link Analyzer configuration the 980 HDMI Protocol
Analyzer HDMI Rx port is connected to the source device under test and the 980 HDMI Protocol Analyzer
HDMI Tx port is connected to a sink device. The Encrypted Link Analyzer configuration enables you to
monitor and analyze HDCP encrypted protocol data transmitted between an HDMI source device and sink
device.
Note: The procedures for using the Pass-Through mode and Encrypted Link Analyzer are covered in the
next Chapter.

TX-RX HPD - Enabling this option will replicate the hot plug signal from the TX side (an attached sink
device) on the RX side (like a hot plug repeater).

Setting the RX HDCP mode

The 980 enables you to enable and disable HDCP on the Rx sink emulation port. This enables you to test how your
source device under test responds to a sink that does not support HDCP. You can also configure certain HDCP
configuration registers such as the BSTATUS and BCAPS. Use the following procedures to set the HDCP mode
and registers.
1. Select the Rx HDCP Settings... item from the Instrument pull-down menu on the built-in front panel as shown
below.
