Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Protection
1.
CAUTION : During a hot-plug between HDMI devices (when HDMI devices
are powered on), due to the potential differences between powered
equipment, an electrostatic discharge (ESD) can occur. These potential
differences can be at an extremely high level.
2.
To protect the VideoForge PRO and any connected device from possible
damage, power on the VideoForge PRO and the device under test only
after the VideoForge PRO HDMI output is connected to the input of the
tested device (repeater, video processor or display).
3.
Power off the VideoForge PRO and the device under test before the
VideoForge PRO HDMI output is disconnected from the tested device.
4.
The VideoForge PRO HDMI output is protected against ESD discharge up
to 7KV. In the case of a massive discharge, this value can be exceeded
and will cause serious damage to the VideoForge PRO internal circuitry
rendering the VideoForge PRO HDMI output completely inoperable.
5.
The VideoForge PRO high voltage protection circuits provide evidence of
ESD discharge events, which automatically void the VideoForge PRO
warranty. Please pay full attention to create a static-safe working
environment to prevent ESD discharges.
