SL 309 Simplay CEC Explorer Development Tool
Recommended As Official Test Tool for HDMI® Compliance Test Specification Version 1.4 for CEC and CDC
- Officially recommended test tool for CEC testing
- Only tool recommended for CDC
- Only test tool that combines CEC and CDC debugging, emulation, and “message visualization”
- Enables the CDC portion of HDMI Ethernet Channel testing
- Enables HDMI Audio Return Channel testing through the CEC messaging
- Helps develop, simulate and debug all aspects of CEC and CDC protocols
- Powerful GUI
- Allows custom test definitions through a scripting interface
Faster time-to-market and lower development costs are what sets leaders apart from the competition. R&D teams must
prioritize development cycles to work on functions such as CEC that will make products superior in the marketplace.
Simplay Labs understands every aspect of CEC systems development - including hardware, software, integration and
deployment. Our CEC R&D systems let you focus on the work that matters.
