Set-Top Boxes (STBs) and Digital Video Recorders (DVRs) are increasing in complexity with every
newly released model. As a result USB host functionality has now become a
crucial component of next generation digital video appliances.
Incorporating USB host features into set-top boxes has revealed a
wide array of new possibilities for consumers.
Enhanced Product Quality
USBHost Tester has been developed and designed specifically for a wide range
of USB host testing applications. Able to automatically test embedded USB host
functionality against thousands of USB devices used today,
USBHost Tester
offers unmatched USB host testing functionality. Ensuring high product quality
is a top priority for any manufacturer, by utilizing USBHost Tester's robust
testing functionality, set-top box and DTV manufacturers can guarantee the
highest product reliability and dependability.
USBHost Tester for Set-Top Boxes and Digital TV Receivers
Inherently difficult to test, embedded USB hosts are becoming more popular
in new set-top boxes and DTV receivers. USBHost Tester's facilities enable
manufacturers to easily and quickly test their USB host products and ensure
high quality products at reduced costs. By reducing product recalls, testing
expenses and support costs manufacturers can eventually pass those savings
onto consumers.
How it Works
USBHost Tester simulates thousands of real world USB devices, across several
different USB classes. USBHost Tester connects to the target USB host, and
simulates each of the devices in its database. The database is constantly
evolving and updated by Jungo on a regular basis. Furthermore, it is possible
to simulate concurrently connected devices.
The USBHost Tester provides a software add-on that runs on top of the USB host
architecture, and enables exercising comprehensive test suites including
complicated scenarios like connect/disconnect, power management and others.
Once all tests are completed, a comprehensive reporting mechanism generates
detailed logs which can be presented in various formats.
Architecture
The USBHost Tester is built upon an extremely proficient architecture.
Able to connect via the Host Plug-In, the USBHost Tester enables testers
to conduct various testing scenarios based on their specific needs.
