UCD-500 Gen3 • DisplayPort 2.1 Generator & Analyzer
Description
UCD-500 Gen3 is a DP 2.1 Link Layer CTS Test Tool. It supports testing DP Sinks and Sources with UHBR 20 Max Bit Rate Capability with both USB-C and DP connectors.
Successor to UCD-500 Gen2
UCD-500 Gen3 continues Unigraf’s flagship series of DP test tools. The added GPIO connectors support bandwidth up to 30MHz. In four SMA connectors you have two inputs and two ouputs. The DB15 connector holds 2 additional input signals and 6 additional output signals. Further, the new enhanced cooling system with new fan architecture results in quieter operation. For UCD-500 Gen2 users, a special upgrade program is available. Contact Unigraf directly for more information.
UCD-500 Gen3 supports:
- DP 2.1 Link Layer CTS
- 10, 13.5 and 20 Gbp/s lane rates
- 8K@60Hz without compression, 16K@60Hz with DSC
- MST up to 4 streams
- DP 2.1 MST CTS for testing Source and Branch DUT
- USB4 DP Tunneling CTS
- HDCP 2.3 CTS for receivers, transmitters and repeaters
- Link Analyzer
- DP Link Analyzer (Monitor)
- Adaptive-Sync
- DP 2.1 PanelReplay and ALPM
- eDP 1.5 (PSR1/2, ALPM)
- DSC, FEC and LTTPR
DP 2.1 Compliance Test Tool
UCD-500 Gen3 is a Compliance Test Tool for validating DP 2.1 Link Layer on DP Sinks and Sources. DisplayID/EDID and Adaptive Sync compliance tests are also supported. UCD-500 Gen3 supports HDCP 2.2/2.3 CTS on DP Transmitters, Receivers and Repeaters.
DP Link Analyzer
DisplayPort Link Analyzer is a tool for capturing Main-link Data Events and AUX Transactions. For each bulk capture, the data is parsed in a timeline view presenting the captured frames. Within each frame, users can have a deep view of the events and metadata that occurs in each line. Measure distances in nanoseconds and symbol size to identify the length of problems in between events. Observe descrambled and scrambled symbols in hexadecimal format in each of the active lanes.

For R&D and Test Automation
UCD-500 Gen3 supports both hands-on debugging and running extended automated test sequences. UCD Console GUI is a preview and test application for desktop use. Each interface function has a well-structured dialog for superior at-a-glance viewability.
Unigraf TSI is a test software API that provides the system integrator a fast and reliable way for ensuring the functionality of the tested equipment.
