Description
The MU-STIX-AF thumb drive-sized HDMI signal analyzer is equipped with an HDMI signal input port, which provides additional in-field and rack room pass/fail signal transmission path verification flexibility.

While the MU-STIX-A with its male HDMI connector negates the need for an additional HDMI cable to test source and pass-through devices rapidly, the MU-STIX-AF with its female HDMI port facilitates testing in tight spaces via HDMI cable extension.

Coupled with the MU-STIX-GF HDMI generator, end-to-end signal throughput and HDMI cable bandwidth/continuity verification are possible.

The STIX ecosystem was initially developed as a resource for AVPro Edge's internal quality control. It was conceived as an asymmetric testing methodology for dynamically transmitting, receiving, and logging test sources through 1,152 MXnet endpoint transmitters and receivers, an absolute impossibility considering the monitoring requirements in such an environment. Additionally, with the MU-STIX-CTL, data exchanges relating to signal dropouts or transmission send/receive failures are communicated and logged.

The MU-STIX-AF analyzes video test patterns at resolutions from 720p/ 60 fps through 8K/ 60 fps, including 4K/120 fps High Frame Rate. A mini OLED screen displays the incoming signal, resolution, bit rate, color space, and FRL version of TDMS when used in stand-alone applications. The same information is displayed on the MU-STIX-CTL controller GUI.

Murideo’s collection of STIX verification devices 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 MU-STIX-AF 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.

Level-Switch Interface

Enhanced menu access versus the previous button-only interface.
