Verifying the integrity of an HDMI system is essential for any professional AV installer, especially with the increased demands of 8K, 4K HDR, and high-bandwidth signals. The XA-8P is an advanced, battery-powered portable instrument designed to comprehensively test and analyze the entire HDMI signal path, including source and display.

Compliant with HDMI 2.1 and HDCP 1.4/2.2/2.3, it integrates system analysis, pattern generation, and EDID management, offering a comprehensive set of tools for in-field diagnosis and verification. The front panel is designed for immediate use, while the HDMI connections are easily accessible on the top of the unit.

Battery power provides maximum flexibility for even the most complex installations; charging is via the USB-C port, which can also be powered by an external power supply or power bank.
