Installing video distribution networks in residences or in commercial facilities, whether industrial or institutional, is complex. This is especially true for the next gen 18Gbps network installations. A variety of failure conditions can occur such as no video, degraded video, flashing video, unexpected video or audio and other performance issues. These failure conditions point to a range of underlying problems and result in increased time on site, callbacks and extraneous truck rolls, all of which drive up expenses and reduce customer satisfaction. Audio/video professionals need an affordable solution that brings quick Time-to-Insight to resolve these problems.

The new 280 Test Set enables A/V professionals to conduct verification and diagnostic testing on HDMI/HDBaseT cables, video distribution networks and individual A/V components to prevent and effectively troubleshoot failure conditions. These capabilities, along with the affordable price tag, enable an A/V enterprise to realize a rapid return on investment. Reducing a few callbacks or truck rolls in just a few months will enable an A/V enterprise to recover the investment in the quantumdata 280 test set while improving customer satisfaction.
