Preface
Preface
The TDSHT3 HDMI Compliance Test Software is a High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) Compliance Test Solution,
which runs on a Tektronix oscilloscope. This software helps you perform HDMI physical layer validation and compliance
testing.
NOTE. You will be provided with two TDSHT3 applications, one supporting CTS 1.2a specification displayed as TD SH T3
and the other supporting CTS 1.3a specification displayed as TDSHT3v1.3. Both these applications can be loaded onto
the oscilloscope but you can run only one application at a time. For more information on TDSHT3 supporting CTS1.2a
specification refer to the TDSHT3 HDMI Quick Start User Manual (Tektronix part number: 071−1961−01).
