•  Please read the cautions to prevent possible danger and loss of property.

V-SG4K-HDI is a programmable UHD (Ultra High Defi nition) capable Test Pattern Generator, 

packed with features for video and audio testing of HDMI® sources, sinks and extenders. 

V-SG4K-HDI Generates standard format signals up to 4K x 2K 60Hz 4:2:0 which is recently defi ned 

as part of the HDMI® 2.0 specifi cation (UHD).

Thanks to its small size and low power consumption (only 0.4A) the VSG4K-HDI can be powered 

from practically any USB power source. It is highly portable and can easily fi t into a toolbox or be 

used in an array of daisy chained devices for product development/testing. Several can fi t on a 19” 

Rack shelf. 

The V-SG4K-HDI has a built in 0.95-inch AMOLED display, which shows the generated pattern and 

format setting parameters.

A professional programmable sine wave generator is integrated for performing audio tests and 

when needed, an external analog audio source can be used via a 3.5 mm stereo socket on the rear 

panel. This input accepts an unbalanced 1V/pp stereo analog audio source.

V-SG4K-HDI is programmable via the USB connector or via the RS-232 3-pin Phoenix connector.  

Advanced control is available through the included Windows® compatible software application.

For purposes of creating large test systems or multi-device measurement protocol functionality, 

customers can use the serial Loop-Out port via second Phoenix 3 pin terminal.  

Through this functionality, users can set up a large test system by “daisy chaining” multiple 

V-SG4K-HDI generators. This can be useful to test UHD distribution devices or complex UHD 

networks for example.

1. A 0.95-inch AMOLED displays the generated signal and menu settings.
2. Status LED. Shows HDMI link status. When the link is lost or HPD (Hot Plug Detect) is not    
  present from the device being tested, the LED will be off. 
  When there is an EDID error, the LED will blink. 
3. Quick Access Push Buttons.
