280G/A - Overview

The Teledyne LeCroy 280 HDMI/HDBaseT Video Generator (Tx) and Analyzer (Rx) is small compact, battery powered test set ideally suited for professional A/V integrators and home theatre installers. This feature-rich test set enables you to conduct basic verification and diagnostic tests on HDMI/HDBaseT cables, video distribution networks and individual A/V components. The HDMI input and output ports support testing up to 18 Gbps data rate and 600 MHz pixel rate and the HDBaseT input and output ports support testing up to 300 MHz pixel rate.

The instrument set's features and convenient operation can shorten time on the job site and reduce callbacks by enabling you to run basic verification and diagnostic tests on complex video distribution installations quickly and efficiently.

Diagnose and Troubleshoot

Installing video distribution networks whether in residences or commercial, industrial or institutional facilities is complex. These installations do not all go well. A variety of failure conditions can occur such as no video, degraded video, flashing video, unexpected video, etc. These failures point to a range of underlying problems.

Whether verifying an HDMI cable or a re-terminated HDBaseT cable run, checking an HDBaseT extender, testing the EDID handling of an HDMI switch, checking HDCP content protection protocols or just verifying a video distribution network end-to-end, this compact, affordable 280 set will save you time on site, reduce callbacks and provide you with assurance that the video distribution network you just installed will run problem free.

Ease of Use

The 280's embedded touch screen indicators provide ease of use and fast Time-to-Insight when testing cables and distribution gear and checking interoperability between video components and diagnosing failures.

Verifying a Video Link End-to-End

The 280 Installation test set enables installers to check a video distribution network prior to the delivery of the video source and display components. The 280G Tx device can be placed at the source end and the 280A Rx device at the far end where the display will be mounted. A series of tests can be run to verify the link bandwidth capability up to 4K@60Hz even if the link will only be transmitting 1080p initially. This enables you to future proof the link. The test set can test for basic signal integrity and even test protocols such as HDCP (content protection) and EDID. When failures occur individual component devices and cables can be tested separately.
