Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) will demonstrate its expanded High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) test solution portfolio at the CEA 861/HDCP PlugFest14, May 16-21, in Milpitas, Calif. Agilent's new HDMI test solution update allows engineers to test features recently introduced by the HDMI Test Specification 1.4a, such as the new 3-D video format support. In addition to the HDMI protocol compliance tests, the test solution also supports device characterization with complementary software from Agilent's solution partner, BitifEye Digital Test Solutions. Agilent and BitifEye have been involved with HDMI since the standard was first established. Agilent's goal is to help companies meet compliance testing requirements and address the challenges presented by this technology. The company is committed to contributing its expertise to advance HDMI and to continue working with the industry's Authorized Test Centers (ATCs) to offer a complete and reliable test platform. This effort will ultimately help manufacturers design and build better consumer electronics products. Almost every ATC uses Agilent's HDMI test platform to test products, identify problems, measure data, and determine whether tests have passed or failed. Benefits of the combined Agilent and BitifEye HDMI 1.4a test platform include:
