EVENT OVERVIEW:

MOI Verification

The MOI Verification Event is intended as an opportunity for end product manufacturers and test equipment manufacturers to quickly and effectively verify that proposed MOIs can be properly executed, to make sure that multiple test equipment implementations correlate with each other, and interoperability can be verified among end products. The MOI Verification will be testing Methods of Implementation for test procedures in the most-recently published version of the GCTS 2.2, and proposed tests under development for subsequent publishing. The HDMI 2.0/2.1/2.2 MOI Verification Testing is only open to HDMI Forum members.

Plugfest

The HDMI 1.4/2.0/2.1/2.2 Plugfest is open to any interested parties with HDMI Sink/Source/Repeater products or prototypes, and is intended for informal device-to-device interoperability testing. The Plugfest will provide for compatibility testing between Sources, Repeaters, and Sinks, with features tested as decided by the participants. Features first introduced in HDMI 2.1/2.2 will be given priority in the scheduling of Test Sessions; as a result, there may be limited testing opportunities for TMDS-only devices.
