The Teledyne LeCroy Quantumdata M41H 48G is a video generator and analyzer for HDMI 2.1 source and sink validation. It supports aggregate link rates to 48 Gbps, resolutions to 8K/10K, and operates across lane rates from 3 Gbps to 12 Gbps per lane. The instrument scales from entry-level functional testing to full compliance certification through software licensing, enabling deep protocol analysis of Fixed Rate Link (FRL) with Forward Error Correction (FEC), Display Stream Compression (DSC), TMDS, and Enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC) implementations.
