1. Connect the HDMI-to-HDMI cable provided from your HDMI source device under test to the topmost HDMI
connector on the back of the 980 HDMI Protocol Analyzer. Refer to the connection diagrams above.
2. Connect a second HDMI-to-HDMI cable from the HDMI display device to the bottom HDMI connector on the
back of the 980 HDMI Protocol Analyzer. Refer to the connection diagrams above.
3. Power up the 980 HDMI Protocol Analyzer using the power rocker switch on the back. Then press the power
on button on the front panel.
9.3.1 Configuring the 980 with an EDID
Use the procedures below to provision the 980 HDMI Protocol Analyzer Rx port with an EDID. Typically when
using the Encrypted Link Analyzer you will want to provision the 980 HDMI Protocol Analyzer Rx port with the EDID
of the downstream sink device. However there are exceptions. For example, if the EDID of the downstream sink is
flawed in some way you may wish to use a standard known-good EDID provided by the 980 HDMI Protocol
Analyzer.
To provision the EDID:
1. (optional) Load the EDID to use in the 980 HDMI Protocol Analyzer. This is the EDID that the 980 will be
emulating.
The default EDID in the 980 HDMI Protocol Analyzer has a preferred timing of 1080p60 with a maximum
TMDS rate of 165MHz. You can provision the 980 with a different EDID. Sample EDIDs are available from the
Quantum Data website on the downloads page (http://www.quantumdata.com/support/980readme.asp#edid).
You can download these EDIDs to the host PC where the 980 Manager is running. If you are in Pass-Through
or Encrypted Link Analyzer mode you can also read the EDID of the downstream display (connected to the Tx
port of the 980 HDMI Protocol Analyzer) and then provision the 980 HDMI Protocol Analyzer Rx port with that
EDID.
Select an EDID file by activating the Set 980 Rx EDID (shown on the screen below).
The dialog box shown below opens up enabling you to select an EDID to assign to the 980 HDMI Protocol
Analyzer's Rx port. Note that there are two checkbox options on the dialog box. The following is a description
of each:
 Permanently set the 980 HDMI Protocol Analyzer's EDID – This means that the EDID that you provision
will persist through a reboot of the 980. Otherwise the default 980 HDMI Protocol Analyzer EDID will be
reprovisioned when a reboot occurs.
