The multimedia devices portable automated test system

Rapid development of new technologies adds to an architectural complexity of multimedia devices. The last generations of multimedia devices combine features of multiple devices into a single device. Complex devices require more testing and verification methods, and more time to find a fault. Very often inoperative device has to be transported to operator's facilities for complete diagnostics. Transportation of inoperative devices to repair/service centers prolongs time from a problem reporting to problem correction, increases costs, and adds to the customer's discontent. Field test system comprises various input interfaces which cover multimedia device's audio/video output, and allows functional verification, wide A/V analysis and picture quality measurement. Field test system is ideal for verification of STB/DVD/Blu-ray player's devices at customer's homes or retailers offices and also for monitoring of head-end signal quality in broadcast systems.
