The TPA-MHL2-8R is a new Test Point Adapter (TPA) that lets you conduct compliance tests and protocol analysis on MHL 1.3, 2.0 & 2.1 source, sink and dongle devices. There is a previous test point adapter TPA-MHL-8R for MHL 1.2 devices. Mobile High-Definition Link (MHL) is a video interface derived from HDMI but targeted to provide an interface from mobile devices like smart phones to TVs or other displays. The MHL standard is designed to connect to smart phones by reusing the existing 5 pin micro-USB connector that many phones have rather than requiring a separate 19 pin HDMI connector. The MHL cable is micro-USB on the source mobile device and HDMI Type A on the other end. Quantum Data offers a comprehensive suite of test solutions for testing MHL source and sink devices. The TPA-MHL2-8R enables protocol analysis and MHL and HDCP compliance testing for MHL 2.0 source and sink devices. HDCP compliance testing requires the Quantum Data 882EA.
