Vendor Info Frame

Opens a window in which the content of the Vendor-Specific Info Frame of a connected
HDMI source is shown. The data structure of this Info Frame is specified in the
CEA-861 standard.

Input

Selection of the audio source.

"HDMI Sink"

Audio source is the HDMI SINK socket.
By default, the audio data are received and analyzed via the HDMI
SINK socket in the HDMI analyzer.

"Source ARC"

Audio source is the Audio Return Channel supplied via the SOURCE
socket.
The Audio Return Channel (ARC) can be analyzed as an alternative.
In this mode, the audio signal supplied to the HDMI 1.4 load connec-
ted to the SOURCE socket is analyzed in the audio analyzer.

"DigIn Unbal"

Audio source is the Digital IN BNC socket.
In addition to the "HDMI Sink" and "Source ARC" HDMI interfaces,
the interface of the DIGITAL IN BNC jack digital audio analyzer can
also be selected here. This also makes it possible to use the decod-
ing function for encoded signals (see

on page 329) on this

interface. This also makes it possible to switch this digital input with-
out changing instruments.

"DigIn Optical"

Audio source is the Digital IN TOSLINK socket.
In addition to the "HDMI Sink" and "Source ARC" and HDMI interfa-
ces, you can also select the interface of the DIGITAL IN-TOSLINK
socket digital audio analyzer here. This makes it possible to also use
the decoding function for encoded signals (see

on page 329) on this interface. This also makes it possible to switch
this digital input without changing instruments.

Remote command:

SENSe[1]:HDMI:AUDio:INPut

Audio Format

Selects if the audio format is selected manually or automatically.

The HDMI layout of the audio data is entered (selection "Manual") or displayed (selec-
tion "Auto") in the line below.

"PCM Lay 0"

2 channels with PCM data or compressed audio.
