MHL Applications for Testing MHL Source Devices
This section describes the MHL test applications supported by Quantum Data test instruments and utilities when
testing MHL source devices.
3.1
Protocol Analysis of MHL Sources
You can conduct protocol analysis of MHL source devices using the TPA-MHL-8R and the Quantum Data 980
Protocol Analyzer. Protocol analysis enables you to view the timing, video type, control data and all metadata (e.g.
infoframes and data islands) with precise time stamps in real time or capture and store for analysis. You can also
view the MHL C-Bus traffic.
For more details on the MHL protocol analysis functions of the 980, please refer to the 980 User Guides available on
the Quantum Data 980 product web page at:
