19 May 2025

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 andAutomated compliance test for DisplayPort with the R&S RTP oscilloscope.

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.

VESA is a nonprofit organization that promotes and develops many standards for the computer and display industries, most notably DisplayPort. VESA focuses on enhancing display performance, facilitating interoperability and driving industry innovation.
