TELEDYNE LECROY quantumdata 780 Series HDBaseT Remote Cable Tester Instruction Manual

TELEDYNE LECROY quantumdata 780 Series HDBaseT Remote Cable Tester

Product Usage Instructions

1. Connect the quantumdataTM 780 Series HDBaseT Remote Cable Tester to the near end of the network infrastructure cable using the 780C/D/E instrument.
2. Connect the new 780 HDBaseT Remote Terminal to the far end of the network infrastructure cable.
3. Run the cable test using the 780 instrument to verify the quality of the cable and its suitability for supporting video up to 300MHz (Ultra HD 4K at 30Hz or 60Hz with 4:2:0).
4. If desired, use the optional 780 series Report File Creation feature to save the test results for record-keeping or dissemination to colleagues or contracting firms.
5. To test network cable segments end-to-end, connect the network patch cables and run the cable test again.
6. To test infrastructure cabling in segments and patch cabling separately, disconnect the network patch cables and run the cable test on each segment individually.
7. Use the measurements provided in the user manual to interpret the test results for both the Main channel and Aux channel. The measurements indicate the quality of the channels at different frequencies.
8. For Main channel quality, refer to the Mean Squared Error (MSE) and Maximum Errors (MaxErr) values. The color codes indicate the quality level – green (excellent), yellow (good), and red (poor).
9. For Aux channel quality, refer to the Maximum Errors (MaxErr) values. The color codes indicate the quality level – green (excellent), yellow (good), and red (poor).
10. The quantumdataTM 780 Series HDBaseT Remote Cable Tester is also compatible with HDBaseT converter devices and patch cabling. It can independently verify their quality at each end.

MEASUREMENTS / SPECIFICATIONS

Verify Installed HDBaseT Cable

• The network infrastructure cable is tested using the 780C/D/E instrument on the near end and the new 780 HDBaseT Remote Terminal on the far end as depicted (right).
• The remote cable test reports the quality of the cable and its suitability for supporting video up to 300MHz (Ultra HD 4K at 30Hz or 60Hz with 4:2:0). You can either test all network cable segments end-to-end or you can test the infrastructure cabling in segments and patch cabling separately.
• The optional 780 series Report File Creation feature can be used to save the results for record-keeping or dissemination to colleagues or contracting firms.

Key Features

• Verify Installed HDBaseT Network Cable – Test signal quality of the main video channel and auxiliary channel from the source end of HDBaseT network cable in a commercial or industrial building or office campus.
• Reduce Callbacks – Pre-qualify cable infrastructure for transmission of Ultra HD video prior to the final installation of the video source and display components.
• Verify patch cables and HDBaseT extenders – Run loop test on patch cables and extender devices at each end.
• Save Test Data Report – The solution can provide a report to record the results of the cabling infrastructure qualification. The reports can be saved onto an SD card for ease of preservation and dissemination to other colleagues.

Teledyne LeCroy quantumdata 780 series test instruments offer a rich set of features that help professional A/V installers verify HDMI and HDBaseT video, audio, and protocols. However, one of the problems facing professional video integrators and installers is how to verify network HDBaseT cable infrastructure in commercial, industrial, or institutional buildings or office campuses intended to support HD and UHD video. This cable infrastructure is often installed prior to the turn-up of the video sources and displays at the endpoints.
The 780-based solution offered employs an HDBaseT Remote Terminal connected at the far end of an HDBaseT network cable run with the 780C, 780D, or 780E instrument at the source end. The 780 instrument can read the data from the far end HDBaseT device to determine the quality of the network cable—main channel and auxiliary channel—and its suitability for transmission of UHD video. The 780 can also independently verify the HDBaseT converter devices and patch cabling at each end.
