The MU-STIX-A is a thumb drive-sized HDMI pattern analyzer designed for Murideo’s STIX large-deployment evaluation platform. It may also be used for light-duty in-field pass/fail signal transmission verification.
Initially developed as a resource for AVPro Edge internal quality control, STIX was conceived as an asymmetric testing methodology for dynamically transmitting, receiving, and logging test sources through 1,152 MXnet endpoint transmitters and receivers. Imagine pursuing this process with hundreds of Blu-ray machines or streaming devices, or the number of video displays… it is simply impossible.
The MU-STIX-A analyzes video test patterns at resolutions from 720p/ 60 Hz through 8K/ 60 Hz, including 4K/120 Hz High Frame Rate. When used in stand-alone applications, a mini OLED screen displays the source selected, resolution, bit rate, color space, and FRL version of TDMS.
STIX enables rapid yet thorough in-house signal throughput confirmation before site deployment to verify that endpoint devices are correctly functioning, appropriately responding to programming, and aligned with system performance parameters. The Murideo MU-STIX-A onboard display physically corroborates source information parameters when connected to the HDMI output of a receiving device.
For stand-alone use, the MU-STIX-A is a convenient, cost-effective multi-resolution format analyzer for commercial or residential integrators when simple pass-fail transmission path and display capability verification are required. Equipped with one or more MU-STIX-As enables system signal throughput confirmation for display supporting electronics that are installed inside cable and device management in-wall storage enclosures, eliminating potential duplicate labor before the display is mounted.
