SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE:A) today announced that Digital EMC, Asia`s
leading test and certification service provider, has adopted the Agilent HDMI
1.3 Compliance Test Solution to test its HDMI-enabled devices. The devices will
be submitted for use in the world`s eighth HDMI Authorized Testing Center (ATC),
located in Korea. Agilent equipment is used in the majority of the ATCs
worldwide.
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is an established uncompressed,
all-digital audio/video interface that provides crystal-clear audio and video
via a single cable. HDMI dramatically simplifies cabling and helps provide the
highest-quality home theater experience, serving as the interface between
sources such as a set-top box, DVD player, or A/V receiver and an audio and/or
video monitor.
The Agilent test solution for HDMI CTS 1.3 enables high-quality measurements
through its market-leading signal integrity and unique independent clock and
data jitter insertion capability. The solution package includes the Agilent DSO
90000A real-time oscilloscope with N5399A HDMI compliance test software, the
81250A ParBERT-based E4887A TMDS signal generator with cable emulators, N1080A
TPAs (Test Point Access Assemblies or fixtures), the N5990A test automation
software platform and the N5998A protocol / audio / video generator and
analyzer.
In partnership with Simplay Labs, Digital EMC will operate the first Authorized
Testing Center in Korea, scheduled to open in late 2009.
"We are excited to be the first Authorized Testing Center in Korea with the
Agilent HDMI 1.3 solution, which will give us an advantage in providing
high-quality HDMI 1.3 compliance testing service," said Charlie Park, president
of Digital EMC. "Also, Digital EMC can help local companies reduce the cost of
product development and achieve a quicker time to market now that they will be
able to quickly access the first ATC in the Korean market and don`t need to ship
their products overseas for compliance testing."
"This continues our successful partnership with Agilent," said Joseph Lias,
president of Simplay Labs. "Now with our new partnership with Digital EMC, we
can better serve the demand of our Korean customers as well as reach out to the
growing Korean marketplace."
"We are pleased Digital EMC selected our HDMI 1.3 test solution," said Scott
Sampl, general manager of Agilent`s oscilloscope business. "It demonstrates once
again Agilent`s leadership position as the provider of high-speed digital test
solutions for HDMI."
