INTRODUCTION AND FEATURES

Introduction

Two Devices. One Kit. Zero Problems

Consisting of a 4K Timing Signal Generator and a 4K Source Signal Analyzer, the TT-KIT-4K is an essential addition to any integrator’s

toolbox to test HDMI audio and video signal properties and system compatibility to help identify potential device or cable issues and

ensure the fast and ecient completion of installations.

Supporting 4096x2160p @ 60Hz 4:2:0 - dened as part of HDMI 2.0 specication - including RGB 4:4:4, YUV 4:2:2, YUV 4:2:0 and

Deep Color, the TT-KIT-4K is powered by rechargeable lithium batteries or mains and enclosed in a rugged carry case for a powerful,

compact and highly portable HDMI testing solution.

Oering 33 preset and 10 user-denable settings for timing signals, the 4K Timing Signal Generator replicates a wide range of signal

congurations, such as resolution, refresh rates, scan types, polarity, HDCP 1.4 encryption and the creation of up to 8 channels of

embedded digital audio. Oering 35 separate signal patterns to test color, gradient, detail, motion and 3D, the Generator also ability

to read, store and recall EDID codes to ensure total compatibility between connected devices in the installation, with results and menu

displayed on an integrated 1-inch AMOLED screen.

The 4K Source Signal Analyzer includes a 2” OLED screen to display menu options, source video transmissions and to conrm correct

image render through analysis of a variety of incoming signal metadata, including up to 8 channels of incoming audio assessed to

evaluate audio signal level and quality.

In terms of EDID, the Analyzer emulates any screen or projector by storing EDID for the integrator to recall anywhere to test an

installation without requiring display devices to be installed on site. In addition, the integrated ‘monitor’ function can be used to test a

signal over a dened period of time, enabling the installer to leave the device unmanned all day/night to analyze every minute/hour of

use for an invaluable time and cost saving method of testing or troubleshooting systems.

The TT-KIT-4K oers complete examination and diagnosis of transmissions from any source to all displays to ensure greatly improved

Applications

The TT-KIT-4K comprises of a Timing Signal Generator (TT-GEN-4K) and Source Signal Analyzer (TT-SIG-4K) and is designed to

generate a reliable, calibrated test signal from A to B through an HDMI cable or by connecting to source, display or transmission device,

such as an extender set or matrix.

Intended to be used to test HDMI signals in various installation scenarios, including HDMI cables installed in-wall and HDMI devices

such as matrices, switchers, splitters and displays, the TT-KIT-4K can also test HDMI signals distributed through HDBaseT or UTP-

based systems utilizing Cat5e/6 infrastructure, such as HDBaseT matrices, transmitters and display receivers.

The TT-GEN-4K can be used to verify signals being delivered to display devices already installed; particularly useful for 4K installations

that may have a 4K display device but no 4K source to conrm support of 4K resolution over distance at display locations.

Similarly, the TT-SIG-4K can also be used in instances where a site has sources/ transmission devices (at rack location for example) to

verify signals at each display zone prior to display installation.

Please note, TT-KIT-4K test equipment is not designed for Category 5e/6 cable certication and should not be used as

such - please use conventional test equipment for Cat5e/6 cable certication.

Basic Setup and Operation

Before You Begin

• Ensure all equipment is turned o before connecting.

• Check TT-KIT-4K generator and analyzer batteries are charged before use, especially if anticipating prolonged testing, with 5v mains

power supplies used on site if not.

• This equipment features HDMI connection - if devices use DVI or DisplayPort, appropriate adaptors will be required.

• Check compatibility of source and display devices prior to connection and ensure devices settings.

• Make sure of rm HDMI connection to devices but do not force connectors into ports.

• Always use good quality, reliable high-speed Category 2 HDMI cables that support 4K within distance specication of the

transmission and devices used – we recommend WyreStorm Express HDMI cables.

Connection

Before testing any equipment, verify neither the TT-GEN-4K Generator or TT-SIG-4K Analyzer are in ‘standby’ mode -

signals will not be sent or received if in standby.

1. Connect the Generator HDMI output to the Analyzer input (or a display device) via an HDMI cable, wall plate, matrix or transmitter.

NOTE: In this application the Generator replaces a source device.

2. Connect the Analyzer HDMI input to the Generator output (or source device) via an HDMI cable, wall plate, matrix or transmitter.

NOTE: In this application the Analyzer replaces a display device or AVR.

3. If internal batteries are charged, switch on the Generator and Analyzer at the rear of the units.

Alternatively, connect DC 5V mains power supplies or USB cable included to a laptop/PC to power the units.

NOTE: units cannot be powered using RS-232 cable.

US/CAN/MEX: +1-518-289-1294 Toll Free Technical Support: +1-844-280-WYRE (9973)

BASIC SETUP AND OPERATION

A WyreStorm start-up screen will appear for a few seconds until the units have initialized

Following start-up, the Generator screen will display the last previously selected pattern and timing signal. See Basic Operation and

On-screen Menu sections below for selection of patterns and timing signals.

If the signal is passed correctly through the connection, the same Generator pattern/timing will be replicated on the Analyzer. A blue

screen containing a ‘No Signal’ message will be displayed if the signal is not passed successfully to the Analyzer.

NOTE: RS-232 and USB ports are used for PC connection and operation via the software included. WyreStorm

recommends using the USB connection for this operation.

Panel Operation - TT-GEN-4K Timing Signal Generator

Pressing Menu/Enter accesses the unit on-screen menu for adjustable signal properties and selects a desired function. (See On-

screen menu section for details)

When in ‘menu mode’, pressing Left/Right buttons changes to the next/previous menu, while pressing Up/Down cycles through the

dierent settings of the menu item.

When in ‘normal/display mode’, pressing Left/Right buttons changes to the next/previous signal pattern in the menu, while pressing

Up/Down cycles through previous/next timing generation options to output.

Once the Generator has initialized, we recommend using the Up/Down buttons to scroll through until the color bars are reached.

NOTE: The Generator recalls operation from the previous use so settings such as the last pattern and timing selected and

will appear automatically on start-up.

4. If testing through a distribution device such as matrix, extender or AVR, turn on the device and ensure the signal is routed correctly

to the Analyzer location.

Panel Operation - TT-SIG-4K Source Signal Analyzer

Advanced Operation via PC Software

Supplied with the TT-KIT-4K is Windows-based* control software to access the full functionality of the Generator and Analyzer via a PC,

including the display of signal information and detailed conguration of signal parameters within their respective interfaces.

Both the Generator and Analyzer can connect to a PC via RS-232 serial-to-USB or standard USB cables. WyreStorm recommends

using standard USB A to USB B as the easiest method of controlling and powering/charging the units.

*Compatible with Windows 7 operating systems or higher. Also compatible with Windows 10. Not compatible with iOS devices.

Set-up

1. Download both TT-GEN-4K and TT-SIG-4K software les from the TT-KIT-4K product page at wyrestorm.com and save to a PC.

2. Connect the PC to the generator or the analyzer using a USB A to USB B cable.

3. On the PC, open the appropriate software for the device that was connected in step 2.

NOTE: An external power supply is not required when connecting via USB as both devices receive power from the USB

port on the PC. An external power supply is only required when using RS-232.

ii. Timing Control Menu

The Timing sub-menu allows selection of a wide range of video and computer display formats for users to select the appropriate format

for the test device.

Users are able to check and conrm the range of dierent formats a device will accept, force error conditions in a device to conrm how

it displays error messages and use the generator as a substitute for another source that is suspected of malfunctioning.

Specic timing signal parameters can also be input and saved to one of the user dened spaces in the memory.

Timing selection options: 1 Auto, 32 pre set, 10 user-dened timing settings

Video signal variables (recommended for advanced users only)

Select a user-dened number to store Timing data

Press to write Timing data, Scan Type and Sync Polarity settings to selected user-dened number

Press to read status data from the Generator and update status.

iii. Pattern Select Menu

The Pattern Select sub-menu page oers a wide variety of standard and unique video patterns to be output with any selected timings/

formats including UHD/4K.

Select from 35 x 2D timing patterns depending on your testing requirements. If testing 3D signals, the ‘3D Boxes’ pattern will auto-

select, displaying two white oating boxes in 3D. If this pattern is selected in 2D, the pattern will appear as four white rectangles on the

screen.

Color bars are useful for checking monitors, waveform monitors and vectorscopes as well as checking luma and chroma levels

through switchers, scalers and other system components. Solid color screens can be used to check purity in displays and projectors,

while Ramp patterns are typically used for checking bit depth by observing the degree of “stepping” in the image.

Multiburst is useful for checking the bandwidth of a device as well as its tendency to create alias. Patterns and Lines and

checkerboards are particularly useful when setting up projection systems and video walls.

iv. Setting Menu

The Setting sub-menu includes a selection of basic audio and video signal parameters that can be output by the TT-GEN-4K and can

be used for checking that a device conforms to the stated specications.

HDMI/DVI signal – allows user to determine what type of signal is sent. If Auto is selected, signal type will vary according to

detected sink EDID.

NOTE: When DVI is selected, color space is xed to RGB 4:4:4 and color depth xed to 24bit. When HDMI 2.0 4K 50/60Hz

is selected, color space is xed to YUV 4:2:0

HDCP ON/OFF - Allows the user to add or remove HDCP 1.4 to the signal - useful for testing the encryption compliance of

connected equipment.

Selecting HDCP ON will cause the picture to disappear on recorders, switchers and any other non-display device, with compliant

display devices, such as monitors, TVs and projectors continuing to display a picture with HDCP ON.

Color Space/Depth - adjustable to suit the type of test being carried out. If auto is selected, signal type will vary according to

detected sink EDID.

Internal generated audio is 1k Hz sine wave audio.
