SIMPLAY LABS CEC
EXPLORERTM RECOMMENDED
AS OFFICIAL TEST TOOL FOR HDMI®
COMPLIANCE TEST SPECIFICATION VERSION 1.4
Robust
solution for HDMI CEC and CDC; enables HDMI Ethernet Channel
and Audio Return Channel testing
SUNNYVALE, Calif., November 19, 2009
– Simplay Labs, LLC, the leading solutions provider of technologies,
testing programs, development tools, and interoperability and performance
design standards for the high-definition (HD) consumer electronics industry,
today announced that its Simplay CEC Explorer SL 309 Development Tool
has been officially recommended as a compliance test tool in the HDMI
Compliance Test Specification (CTS) Version 1.4 as released on November
9, 2009. The CTS Version 1.4. is the latest version of the Compliance
Test Specification which contains technical criteria and tests that
all HDMI-enabled products must satisfy.
The Simplay CEC Explorer SL 309 Development
Tool helps design engineers develop, simulate and debug all aspects
of CEC (Consumer Electronics Control)/CDC (Capability, Discovery and
Control) functionality in real time, and includes a powerful GUI (Graphical
User Interface) that allows engineers to interface with their own product
prototype by exercising and monitoring CEC/CDC performance. This test
solution enables manufacturers and testing facilities to ensure interoperability
and to meet the required HDMI Specification Version 1.4 CEC/CDC compliance
verification.
"We believe that no other development
tool in the market today handles both CEC and CDC, and has the range
of capabilities as the Explorer SL 309. As manufacturers work to deliver
their latest HDMI Version 1.4-enabled products, this tool can be an
invaluable part of their development process," said Joseph Lias, president
of Simplay Labs. "The Explorer SL 309 fulfills our mission to help
manufacturers ensure interoperability and reduce the time and cost to
market."
The Simplay Explorer SL 309 is:
- An officially recommended
test tool for CEC testing.
- The only officially recommended
test tool for CDC.
- The only tool that combines
CEC and CDC debugging, emulation and "message visualization" capabilities.
- The test tool for the CDC
portion of HDMI Ethernet Channel testing.
- The tool that offers testing
of the HDMI Audio Return Channel through the CEC bus.
- The tool that allows design
engineers to define custom tests through its powerful scripting interface.
