280A - Overview

Please note: This product is the 280A Video Analyzer only.

In the 2nd image the 280A Rx unit serves as a 4K video display to verify various video resolutions, bit depth settings, colorimetry, sampling etc. You can also verify the +5V and emulate an EDID to verify that the upstream network is passing it through to the source properly. HDCP can be verified as well using either HDCP 1.4 or HDCP 2.2. If you encounter problems you can segment the network by moving the 280A Rx upstream to run further tests. In this case the 280A Rx can serve either as an HDMI or an HDBaseT sink. Segmenting the network either from the upstream direction of the downstream direction enables you to determine where the failure occurs.

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.
