2 About the GF-100

[Fig. 2.1] Diagram
The IDK’s GF-100 is a portable digital video checker for HDMI/DVI devices, providing source/sink tests, cable/transmission line tests, and monitoring DDC function between source and sink devices.
■ Source test (P.19)
● Displays the following statuses on the LCD display or browser: resolution, frequency, presence or
absence of audio, status of DDC voltage, and the like.
● Outputs status changes to a browser or ICT/IP port “2200”.
● Has an EDID emulator (P.29).
[Fig. 2.2] Source test
■ Sink test (P.34)
● Displays the following items on the LCD display or browser: supported resolution, audio supported/not
supported, HDCP compliant/not compliant, EDID, and other information.
● Outputs test patterns (video)/test tone (audio). (P.39)
● Saves up to five EDIDs of the sink device in the GF-100.
● Downloads the saved EDIDs onto the PC via the browser; they can be read with analysis software.

■ DDC monitor (P.45)
● Outputs the DDC communication data of the source and sink devices to browser or the TCP/IP port
“1100”.
[Fig. 2.4] DDC monitor
■ Cable/transmission path test (P.48)
● Outputs the test signals and measures the quality (bit color) of the cable/transmission path.
● The test signals consist of random data and data that is under tougher condition (the hardware of the
cable and its transmission).
● The resolution and color depth of the test signals can be selected.
● With two GF-100 devices, the transmission path test between two distant sites can be performed.
[Fig. 2.5] Cable test [Fig. 2.6] Transmission path test
■ Additional function
● Resume function (P.58)
Note: The GF-100 is a simplified analyzer for field supports of AV systems. Please note that it does not
provide calibrations.

■ Checking sink status (P.34) Check if the GF-100 can detect the sink device correctly (P.35).
<If the GF-100 cannot detect the sink device> The sink device or cable 1 has a problem. Check the power supply, connection and input switching (if there are some) of the sink device. Perform the cable test (P.48) for cable 1 if necessary. <If the GF-100 can detect the sink device> Check the following specification of the sink device,: supported resolution, color space, color depth (Deep Color) and whether audio and HDCP are suppor te d.
■ Checking operation using test patterns/tones (P.39) Change the following settings of test patterns/tones to check the sink device operation. (Default values are set for all settings.)

6.2.1 Detecting source signals

If the GF-100 does not detect source signals, “NO SIGNAL” is displayed.
[Fig. 6.4] Signals are not detected
<Recommended actions>
● Check the connection, power supply of the sourc e de vic e, and external output settings (laptop)
● Perform the cable test (P.48)

6.2.2 Video timing (Resolution/scanning method/frame rate/aspect ratio)

Displaying resolution, scanning method, frame rate, and aspect ratio of the source signals. For the scanning method: “p” means progressive while “i” means interlace.

<Recommended actions for when the image cannot be displayed on the sink device>
● Sink device: Check the power supply, input switching (if there are some inputs), supported resolution (P.38), and operation using test patterns (P.39).
● Source device: Change the output resolution.

“PREFER”: resolution recommended by the manufacturer of the sink device “NATIV1” and “NATIV2”: native resolution (the maximum resolution of sink devices’ pixel) For other supported resolutions, see “7.2.8 Detailed EDID(P.39)”. Note: Handling preferred and native resolutions differs by manufacturers. The preferred resolution is
sometimes higher than the native resolution due to scaling.
[Fig. 7.5] Preferred/native resolution
<Recommended actions for when the image cannot be displayed on the sink device>
● Sink device: Check the power supply, input switching (if there are some inputs), and operation using test patterns (P.39).
● Source device: Check the presence or absence of output signals (P.21) and output resolution (P.21).

9 Cable /transmission path test

9.1 Outline

The GF-100 outputs the test signals in order to measure the quality (bit color) of the cable/transmission path. The test signals consist of random data and data that is under tougher condition (the hardware of the cable and its transmission). The resolution and color depth of the test signals can be selected.
[Fig. 9.1] Connection for Cable/transmission path test
With two GF-100 units, the transmission path test between two distant sites can be performed.
[Fig. 9.2] Connection between two distance sites
Menu
TOP → CABLE TEST → The cable/transmission path test can be started by pressing the “SET” key while the CABLE TEST menu
is displayed after devices are connected to GF-100.
Note: The GF-100 is a simplified analyzer for field supports of AV systems. Please note that it does not provide calibrations.

9.2 O pe ration and display example

Example of a cable/transmission path test
[Fig. 9.4] Starting measurement
The cable/transmission path test can be started by pressing the “SET” key while any of the cable test menus is displayed. If “9.7 Starting measurement (P54)” is set to “AUTO”, the measurement can be started by unplugging and plugging the cable while the cable test status is displayed (TOP→CABLE TEST [3/3]).
[Fig. 9.5] Signals are not detected
If the test signals cannot be received due to the cable disconnection or TMDS Data/TMDS Clock or if the resolutions or color depth of the received and test signals do not match, “DISCONNECTED...” is displayed.
[Fig. 9.6] Waiting for signal stability/Synchronization failed
When the GF-100 detects received signals, it displays “WAITING…” and waits until the signals become stabilized. You can change the waiting time in “9.6 Waiting time for starting pixel scan (P54)”. If the bit error cannot be measured due to signal deterioration or if there is a device that makes the resolution unstable during transmission, the GF-100 displays “SYNC FAILED” and finishes the measurement.

[Fig. 9.7] Signals comparison
The GF-100 displays “COMPAREING...” and measures the bit error by comparing the test signals and received signals. You can set the amount of those signals for the comparison in “9.4 The amount of test data (P53)”.
When the measurement of the bit error is completed, the result is displayed. If the total number of bit errors is “0” and all signal conductions are “OK”, the cable is normal. Even if the bit error is not “0”, video m a y be displa yed cor rec tl y, depending on the equalizer performance of the sink device and the output signal quality of the source device.
Table 9.2 on the next page shows the measurement results of IDK’s cables as examples. For IDK’s 20 m/65.62 ft. or shorter cables, the acceptance criteria is fixed at “0”. For long cables, the criteria vary depending on the usage environment.
Note: Please do not apply an extra force to the connector at the time of connection; otherwise, the
measurement may not be performed correctly.
