Rohde & Schwarz receives VESA approval for DisplayPort testing solutions

Rohde & Schwarz test solutions have been officially approved by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) for testing DisplayPort technology. This achievement reinforces the company’s commitment to delivering high-quality solutions for testing of the physical layer compliant with various industry standards.

VESA has officially approved the test solutions from Rohde & Schwarz for DisplayPort 2.1 (HBR X) transmitter testing, providing manufacturers a toolset to validate their DP2.1 (HBR X) transmitters with confidence. This test solution is based on the R&S®RTP oscilloscope and ScopeSuite automation software.

Additionally, Rohde & Schwarz vector network analyzers have been approved for DisplayPort cable/connector testing, supporting various data rates including DP80 (UHBR20), DP54 (UHBR13.5 and UHBR10), and DP8k (HBR3). The brand-new R&S®ZNB3000 with its exceptional measurement speed is an ideal fit for this application and reduces the test time significantly. The R&S®ZNBT multiport VNA and other vector network analyzers from Rohde & Schwarz are capable of performing this task, as well.

Beyond VESA-approved testing, the Rohde & Schwarz solutions also seamlessly integrate Embedded DisplayPort (eDP) transmitter testing, providing design engineers with a unified platform for comprehensive DisplayPort technology evaluation. This integrated approach enables manufacturers to efficiently test and optimize eDP transmitters utilizing the R&S RTP and R&S ScopeSuite solution.

Patrick McKenzie, Technology Manager, at Rohde & Schwarz, said: “We’re pleased to receive VESA’s approval for our DisplayPort testing solutions. This confirms our commitment to precise and reliable test tools for the evolving display technology landscape. Our solutions empower our customers develop innovative DisplayPort products quickly and efficiently, while meeting industry standards.”

The Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) is a nonprofit organization that promotes and develops many standards for the computer and display industries, most notably DisplayPort. VESA focusses on enhancing display performance, facilitating interoperability, and driving industry innovation.
