174 Chapter 10 Testing EDID
The procedures for EDID and video testing of HDMI sink devices in accordance with the
HDMI Compliance Test Specification 1.0 are provided below.
Note: The EDID and video tests should be performed in sequence as a single test series.
Each test is dependent on successful completion of the previous test.
To set up the generator for HDMI compliance testing:
1. Hold down the G and B keys, and then power on the generator.
The following message appears on the front panel LCD.
2. Release the G and B keys.
The generator is placed in Digital Friendly mode.
3. Select and apply a valid HDMI format such as DMT0660 either by turning the Format
knob or entering the following command:
FMTL DMT0660; FMTU
4. Load the GenOps image to verify that the generator is configured to output HDMI (that
it is not in DVI-only mode).
The generator’s default configuration is to output HDMI. Note that the display status
mode will indicate that the generator is in HDMI mode with an “H” character. You can
also verify that the generator is putting out an HDMI signal by issuing the following
command:
HDMI?
The returned value should be 1 indicating HDMI output.
