Introduction

The VA-1809 is an analyzer designed specifically to inspect and measure protocol layers (data contents) in AV equipment (DVD, STB, etc.) equipped with HDMI output capabilities. HDMI is a digital interface standard for next generation television sets. With the VA-1809, you can visually confirm the operating conditions of each function of the input HDMI signal, including video display, signal timing, Info Frame, Channel Status Bit, audio values and HDCP certification.

What is more, as the VA-1809 has been designed with a wide range of uses in mind, including HDMI Repeater functions, and receiver functions, it can offer you maximum flexibility and efficiency in areas such as the development and testing of AV equipment with HDMI interfaces and equipment maintenance.

You can even run inspections and measurements at the earlier stages before compliance tests to obtain HDMI standard certification.
