MS-TestPro USER GUIDE
HDBaseT Performance Testing
• Pixel Clock - the clock frequency of the video transmission. The pixel clock values for
both TX and RX should be similar
• HDBaseT FW Version & Chip Type - check the current firmware on the Valens chipsets
& class of HDBaseT chip
• Supported system features: Ethernet, IR - TX, IR - RX, UART - the interfaces that
are extended by the chip over the HDbaseT link such as Ethernet, RS-232 or IR (bi-
directional)
• Link Status - HDBaseT or No Link
• System Mode - specifies whether operating mode changes are automatic or manual
• Cable Length - approximate cable length calculation (accuracy level +/-10%)
• Video Status - indicates whether HDCP content is being transmitted:
- Video On - HDMI transmission without HDCP content
- HDCP On - HDMI transmission with HDCP content
• HDCD Information - equipment vendor and device ID, as specified in the HDBaseT
standard
• HDMI 5V and
HPD - Hot Plug Detect - detects presence of 5V and HPD on the signal
The ‘Config’ data page shows the
capabilities of the HDBaseT chipsets in use
on both TX and RX side (using the switch in
the top left of the screen).
The MS-TestPro can also be used to
send a signal to a HDBaseT receiver, or
receive a HDBaseT signal from a HDBaseT
Transmitter from a 3rd party manufacturer
to asses the capabilities of the device, or to
check the quality of the signal being output.
IMPORTANT: the local MS-TestPro module
uses 48V PoH (Power over HDBaseT).
Connecting a 3rd party manufacturers TX
or RX that does not use PoH to the end of
a link is likely to damage the equipment
in use. The same for 3rd party equipment
sending other non-HDBaseT standard
power schemes such as PoC (Power over
Cable), or PoW (Power over Wire) is likely to
damage the test module.
