The following is a list of typical test equipment that may be used to generate signals for 
the TX inputs: 
 
1)  Digital Video Source – for generation of specific display timing such as Digital Video 

Processor or Graphics Controller with 18-bit RGB LVDS output. 

2)  Astro Systems VG-835 - This video generator may be used for video signal sources 

for 18-bit RGB LVDS output. 

3)  Any other signal / video generator that generates the correct input levels as specified 

in the datasheet. 

4)  Optional – Logic Analyzer or Oscilloscope 
 
The following is a list of typical test equipment that may be used to monitor the output 
signals from the RX: 
 
1)  LCD Display Panel which supports digital RGB (3.3V_LVCMOS) inputs. 
2)  National Semiconductor DS99R421 LVDS to FPD-Link II translator 
3)  Optional – Logic Analyzer or Oscilloscope 
4)  Any SCOPE with a bandwidth of at least 43MHz for TTL and/or 2GHz for looking at 

the differential signal. 

 
LVDS signals may be easily measured with high impedance / high bandwidth differential 
probes such as the TEK P6330 differential probes.
