New Test Generators and Upgrades Enable HDMI(TM) v1.3 36-bit Deep Color Display Development and Manufacturing

December 19, 2006
ELGIN, Ill., Nov. 29 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Quantum
Data(TM), a worldwide
provider of video test equipment, today announced the
release of new video
signal generators and upgrades supporting High-Definition
Multimedia
Interface (HDMI) version 1.3, enabling display
manufacturers to design and
manufacture 36-bit deep color displays.
HDMI is a prime digital interface for connecting
displays to home
theatre, broadcast and gaming sources. HDMI version 1.3
(v1.3) of the
interface is backwards compatible with previous versions
and adds options for
wide-gamut color, faster pixel rates, cable equalization,
smaller connectors,
advanced audio formats, and lip sync correction -- in
addition to deep color.
Video test equipment is required to check HDMI
compliance and
interoperability during development of displays and to
detect defects during
manufacturing. Today, few displays support the latest HDMI
options available
in v1.3, as manufacturers have had to wait for silicon and
video test
equipment to catch up with HDMI specification enhancements
before proceeding.
Quantum Data's new model 881E and 882E generators,
built with the latest
chips from Silicon Image, are capable of generating triple
12-bit/component
colors in 4:4:4 sampling mode up to 165M pixels/second.
Added test images
reveal "banding" in fine color transitions -- a
defect that is supposed to be
eliminated by HDMI v1.3's new "deep color"
option. As with previous
offerings, the new generators output any video format
on-demand, render test
images, produce test tones, and perform a variety of
compliance tests.
The new generators will begin shipping in limited
quantities in December
2006, with full-production scheduled for Q1 2007. The
company also announced
the availability of upgrades for converting existing 881C
and 882C generators
to 881E and 882E generators.
