1. INTRODUCTION
The HDMI/PC/Audio Generator and Analyzer is an advanced device
for testing your audio and video signals. It boasts HDMI, Opticaland 7.1 Analog inputs and outputs as well as a PC/HD and Coaxial
output. With 39 built in resolution timings and 51 test patterns fortesting both analog and digital signals, this pattern generator provides
over a thousand types of test patterns. HDCP and EDID data can beanalyzed to conﬁrm conﬁgurations and provide test data for complex
HD systems. This device can be controlled via the front panel buttons
or through the IR remote and results viewed on the LCM.

2. APPLICATIONS• HD Installer/integrator multi-function RS-232 tool
• Source and display testing• HD System error identiﬁcation• Third-party equipment setup• Source and Sink EDID reading• Deﬁning source settings• HDCP veriﬁcation• Production testing• R&D design and testing

3. PACKAGE CONTENTS• 1×HDMI/PC/Audio Generator and Analyzer• 1×Power Adaptor• 1×Remote Control• Operation Manual

4. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS• The pattern generator requires video and/or audio input sources
with connecting cables and output display and/or speaker(s) withconnecting cables.
• RS-232 PC Application (downloadable from www.cypress.com.tw)

3 TIMING ▲/▼: Switch between timings from T01 to T39.
4 PATTERN ▲/▼: Switch between patterns from P01 to P51.Some

patterns have the ability to select different options. After entering
an option the user simply has to touch the Pattern button to adjust
the value up or down.

5 AUTO: Turn ON/OFF Auto-run Demonstration Function.
Using the RS-232 PC software, users can select timings from T01-T39
and patterns among P01-P51 for an Auto run demonstration. When
Auto-run mode is turned on, the unit will automatically run theselected timings/patterns in sequential order.

6 Output Format Selection: Press the button to switch between PC,
HD, DVI and HDMI output options.

7 FAV.: Turn ON/OFF Favorite Function.
When favorites function is turned on, users will only be able toselect the pre-deﬁned favorite timings and patterns. Users can
set their favorite timings from T01-T39 and favorite patterns from3

P01-P51 with the RS-232 PC software. When the favorites function isturned off users have access to all timings and patterns.

8 HDCP ON/OFF: Turn ON/OFF HDCP encryption. When the LED is on,
the HDCP encryption is working correctly.

9 Audio Source Selection: Press the button to switch between
External 7.1CH (analog), external optical (digital) or internalsinewave audio sources.

5.1CH or 7.1CH LPCM audio channels.

11 Color selection: Press the button to switch between RGB444,
YCbCr444 and YCbCr422.

12 SYSTEM RESET: Press the two buttons simultaneously to reset thesystem back to the factory default. While the system is resetting,the LCM will show “SYSTEM RESET”.

13 DEEP COLOR Selection: Press the button to switch between 8-bit,
10-bit or 12-bit Deep Color settings.

14 EDID PATTERN: Pattern 32 hot key.
15 OPTION: Not all the test patterns are adjustable, when the screen

shows “Press (Option) to do setting” that indicates that this pattern
supports adjustments. Press the OPTION button, the LED will comeon, then press Pattern ▲/▼ buttons to adjust the value.
Note: Turn off the option function before moving to the next

Note:*1: After the computer sends a command to the system, thecomputer has to wait for a response from the system. After receiving
a command the computer can then send the next command to
the system.
If this system is on auto-run, RS-232 communications might fail.
*2: To conﬁgure Auto-run users need to follow a sequence ofcommands --ATNxxx + ATTxxx + ATPxxx + ATIxxx … and …etc.
*3: If this system is not on Pattern 47 Color Setting, respond CRR300,
CRG300, CRB300 or CRY300.
*4: Procedure of setting RX EDID name string :send "ERX00?" -> wait "ERX00?" response -> send name string (12bytes) -> wait "ERX004"*5: In the name string, the rest of the unused bytes (<12bytes) should
be ﬁlled with 0x00.
*6: After ERX99? response, name string (12 bytes) is followed.
*7: After ERD001 response, this system reads the sink's EDID andtransmits them (datastream) to a remote terminal.
If the system reading sink’s EDID fails, the system sends ‘0xfe’ andstops the data stream.
This system supports 2-block EDID, datastream
length=block0+block1=256 bytes*8: After a EWR001 response this system erases sink’s EDID and ﬁlls itwith ‘FF’.
After being completely erased, the system responds with ERS002.
If erasing fails, the system responds with ERS003.
*9: After a EWR001 response, this system will wait for EDID data stream(256 bytes) from the PC. After receiving the data stream, thesystem writes the data stream to sink. If the writing is successful, thesystem responds with EWR002 or EWR003.
*10: Procedure for setting a custom string :send "MOT001" -> wait "MOT001" response -> send custom string (12bytes) -> wait "MOT002"*11: In the custom string, the rest unused bytes (<12bytes) should be
ﬁlled with 0x00. Custom string supports English language only.
*12: After MOT999 response, custom string (12 bytes) is followed.

PATTERNDESCRIPTION

1. The red and green patterns are most frequently used for checking color
purity. When the red pattern is selected only this color should be visible;
the presence of any other color is an indication that color purity needs
adjustment.
2. The green pattern provides a purity check for three in-line tubes. In thein-line tubes, the guns are in a horizontal position and the green gun islocated in the center.
3. The blue pattern is the complementary color and often used to checkcolor performance.
4. Red is used to ensure there is no interference between the sound andchroma carrier. Furthermore the red pattern is used to adjust the long play
delay level to a minimum ﬂicker.
5. In addition to the primary and complementary colors a 100% white pattern
can be selected as well as a black pattern with color burst to check.

PLUGE is used to perform accurate and consistent line-up of picture
monitors. The usual procedure is to adjust the brightness control of amonitor so that bar 1 is invisible on the background while bar 2 canbe still distinguished. The white level luminance is mainly adjusted by
the contrast control to 70 ±10 cd/m2 by means of the upper 100%
white area of the vertical grayscale.

Pattern 32 - EDID Analysis:
The EDID analysis pattern has three different options and a Block 0/1
analysis. The system will copy the Sink EDID and use the built-in Rx EDID
to analyze and display information.
Below are the ways to get the EDID:
1.
