With the recent updates, Unigraf's UFG04 Console with UFG-04 HDMA Capture Board can now help HDMI® Source Device vendors to evaluate also the 3D capability of their devices according to HDMI 1.4a standard.

UFG04 Console is a tool that is used by the developers and vendors of PC Graphic Cards, Set Top Box and other Multimedia Devices to make sure that their devices perform well when connected any HDMI® Sink or Repater device. This includes verifing the Sink - Source interoperability with various EDID combinations, the video timing and the correctness of the Metadata sent by the Source.

The new features enable the Source designer to verify also the right interpretation of the 3D features in the HDMI Vendor-Specific Data Block in the E-EDID data stucture of the Sink. The designer can also verify that the 3D related fileds in the HDMI Vendor Specific InfoFrame extension and the video data are properly sent.

With the UFG-04 HDMA Capture Board the user can preview the 3D video data. UFG04 Console supports the following 3D data formats: Frame Packing, Side-by-Side (Full) and (Half), Top-and-Bottom. When the HDCP encryption is not enabled, the user can also store the data as individual image bitmap files in his PC.
