1.5.2 Embedded 980 GUI Manager
You can operate the 980 HDMI Protocol Analyzer module fully through the built-in color touch screen display. In
addition to the basic operation of the 980 HDMI Protocol Analyzer module the touch screen display GUI there are
two key features that are only available in the embedded 980 GUI Manager GUI: 1) viewing the video in real time,
2) viewing the MHL video/audio metadata and DDC (MHL C-Bus) transactions in real time using the
Real Time
mode. You can view the incoming video from a source even when encrypted with HDCP content protection. The
ability to view the incoming video also enables you to control the menus of the HDMI and MHL source device to
ensure that it is in the correct mode. The built-in GUI also enables you to view the HDMI and MHL video metadata

the external 980 GUI Manager and also disseminated to others for analysis.

embedded 980 GUI Manager and the External 90 GUI Manager. The primary difference is the Navigator panel
which enables you to access the data elements and test results from an instrument. In the External 980 GUI
Manager, the
Navigator panel is always present on the left side of the 980 GUI Manager application window as
shown below.
