When managing the test via the Windows Control Software, connect the Windows PC RS232 port to the RS232 port on the Signal Generator. 3. The Signal Generator can be run on the internal battery, or can be run via an external power source, such as from the included power supply by connecting the power supply to the Signal Generator power socket. 4. The Signal Generator may be controlled via the Front Panel by using the ergonomic push buttons. 5. Be sure the HDMI Out LED is On. If this LED is Off, but the SDI Out LED is On, then press the `Select' button to change to HDMI mode. For SDI applications: Follow the same procedure as above, but select SDI mode, use SDI coax cable of appropriate grade, and ensure that the SDI Out LED is On. If this LED is Off, but the HDMI Out LED is On, then press the `Select' button to change to SDI mode. © MuxLab Inc. 2024 7 94-001048-A/SE-001048-A HDMI 2.0/12G-SDI Signal Generator 6.

This function is useful when the installer is in the field analyzing HDMI system problems. g) SDI timing setting: The Signal Generator can be used to set up a large test system. All Signal Generators and Signal Analyzers in a system can be cascaded by using the RS232 (3 pin) Phoenix connector. When more than one Signal Generator is connected on a single serial chain (Bus), these devices must have unique (different) identification address. Each address can have a binding note, which has at most 10 characters. After the address table is saved, it can be selected via the address selector on the main menu. © MuxLab Inc. 2024 11 94-001048-A/SE-001048-A 8. USB Port Serial Driver Installation HDMI 2.0/12G-SDI Signal Generator For a Windows system, there is an executable available. Download executable file from the website: http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm Execute the downloaded file ` CDM v2.12.00 WHQL Certified.exe ` to install the driver for FTDI USB-UART. Or download the driver files and install the FTDI USB-UART manually. For other Operating Systems, you need to download the driver files and install the FTDI USBUART manually. 9. Cascading the Control Bus 1. Connect the Signal Generator to an appropriate HDMI input port on a sink device (such as a display). 2. Connect the power supply to the unit. The unit can also operate on the internal battery. 3. The RS232 port or the USB port can be used for control. 4. There are two RS232 ports. The first RS232 port is used for control, while the second RS232 port is for cascading and can be used to connect to the next Signal Analyzer down-stream. In this way, many Signal Analyzers can be cascaded and controlled easily. © MuxLab Inc. 2024 12 94-001048-A/SE-001048-A HDMI 2.0/12G-SDI Signal Generator 5. Set different Serial address for each Signal Generator and Signal Analyzer (if any). 6. On the first unit connect the RS232 Control port to the controlling PC and connect the RS232 Cascade port to the next down-stream Signal Analyzer or Signal Generator RS232 Control port, and so on. 10. Applications The HDMI 2.0/12G-SDI Signal Generator (500830-V2) is intended to be used to test HDMI sink devices, which may include HDMI or SDI matrix, switches, Switchers, splitters, TV sets, etc. (see figure below). The HDMI 2.0/12G-SDI Signal Generator (500830-V2) also works with the HDMI 2.0/3G-SDI Signal Analyzer (500831), which is practical when testing devices placed between source and sink equipment, such a matrix switches, switchers and splitters as shown below. This device pairing creates a flexible and powerful UHD test system. The test systems can be controlled via a single RS232 control port, since the RS232 signal can cascaded (daisy chained) across multiple testing devices (500830 & 500831 devices). The combination of the HDMI 2.0/12G-SDI Signal Generator (500830-V2) and HDMI 2.0/3GSDI Signal Analyzer (500831) provides the user with a sophisticated low cost UHD troubleshooting testing system. The setup can be used to analyze bit error levels, and for long term "Time /Event based sampling" tests that are extremely difficult to do by individual technician alone. © MuxLab Inc. 2024 13 94-001048-A/SE-001048-A HDMI 2.0/12G-SDI Signal Generator HDMI 2.0/12G-SDI Signal Generator 500830-V2 Follow us: 2321 Cohen | St-Laurent , H4R 2N7 | Québec, Canada Tel: 514-905-0588 | Fax: 514-905-0589 | Toll free: 1-877-689-5228 info@muxlab.com | salesteam@muxlab.com | www.muxlab.com
