Tektronix, Inc. (www.tek.com) has unveiled a new software and test fixture that deliver fully automated compliance testing support for the DisplayPort 1.2 CTS (Compliance Test Specification). This latest offerings are compatible with an eight GHz or higher bandwidth Tektronix DPO/DSA 70000 Series digital oscilloscope to ensure repeatable and confident test results.
Produced by Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA), DisplayPort is a digital display interface standard that is utilized to connect a video source to a display device such as a television set or computer monitor. The improvements introduced to the DisplayPort 1.2 include multiple independent video streams, doubling of the effective signaling rate to 5.4Gbit/s, increased AUX channel bandwidth, as well as support for more color spaces and for stereoscopic 3D.
“The combined complexity of DisplayPort state control combined with the vast number of configuration permutations of transmitter parameters makes testing to the CTS1.2 specification particularly time consuming and challenging for those not immersed in the specification,” remarked Mike Rizzo, Manager of Oscilloscope Solutions, Tektronix.
“The Tektronix solution provides customers a comprehensive array of conformance measurements while automating the entire process — enabling optimized use of valuable engineering staff time and equipment.”
The DisplayPort 1.2 software option allows engineers and technicians using DPO/DSA70000 Series oscilloscope to perform intervention-free, automated testing of DisplayPort 1.2 designs. Offering simple set-up as well as test execution, the DisplayPort 1.2 solution is implemented with Tektronix TekExpress Automated Compliance Test Software.
