Generator, to pass a HDMI signal over the link for the MS-TestPro to properly qualify the link. The MS-TestPro can generate a range of HDMI signals (up to 4K 30Hz 4:4:4) using the built-in Test Pattern Generator on the side of the unit. By default, the signal output from the HDMI output of the tester is 4K 30Hz 4:4:4 (10G). - Page 12 4. Connect the CATx cable to the HDBaseT connection on the local module inserted into the tester. 5. Run a short HDMI cable from the HDMI output located on the side of the MS-TestPro to the HDMI input of the local module (assuming the local module is the Transmitter), or from a HDMI source device, or 3rd party Test Pattern Generator to the HDMI input of the Transmitter if the Transmitter is going to be used as the remote module.

Page 16: Max Err And Mse Err
HDBaseT is an Asymettical Link meaning that the technology has a higher rate of data transmission from TX to RX, than it has from RX to TX. The MS-TestPro will test for data flow in both directions, allowing for a true reflection of the link quality for all HDBaseT... -
Page 17: Hdbaset Performance Testing
The HDBaseT Performance overview gives the user a live overview of the signal passing through the MS-TestPro for both MAX ERR and MSE ERR on both Transmitter and Receiver modules. The tester can be switched between TX and RX by using the selection switch at the top of the screen as highlighted above. - Page 18 HDBaseT chipsets in use on both TX and RX side (using the switch in the top left of the screen). The MS-TestPro can also be used to send a signal to a HDBaseT receiver, or receive a HDBaseT signal from a HDBaseT...
- Page 19 MS-TestPro USER GUIDE HDBaseT Performance Testing Reading the Performance graphs: With any data being passed over a CATx cable, the idea is to have adequate headroom in the cable to allow for fluctuations or increases in data. The performance graphs show the individual twisted pairs data performance. Some points to note as follows when viewing the live output of the performance: •...
