STIX Test Ecosystem Signal Analyzer

Description

The MU-STIX-A is a thumb drive-sized HDMI pattern analyzer designed for Murideo’s STIX Ecosystem 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, the STIX Ecosystem 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 fps through 8K/ 60 fps, including 4K/120 fps 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. Within the STIX Ecosystem, the same information is displayed on the MU-STIX-CTL controller GUI.

The STIX Ecosystem 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, and does so virtually in the GUI of the MU-STIX-CTL.                

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.

Low-cost, flexible analyzer

Verify common output timings used by HDMI-based entertainment sources at low cost. Sources can be MU-STIX-G generated or in-field from installation source devices. Additional signal-related information is also captured and displayed on the MU-STIX-A OLED screen, or when a part of the STIX Ecosystem, virtually on the MU-STIX-CTL GUI.     

 

Analyzes seven common signal timings

720p and 1080p @ 60 fps, 4K @ 30 fps, 60 fps, and 120 fps, and 8K 30 fps, 60 fps. 

 

Displays additional source information

8-, 10-, and 12-bit color depth is detected and displayed, along with RGB, 4:2:0, 4:2:2, and 4:4:4 color spaces. 

 

Ultra-compact Form Factor

The HDMI headshell-sized footprint enables easy connectivity in tight spaces after racks are built. It can also be conveniently stored with tools or in a computer bag for any time troubleshooting.

 

Integral component of the STIX Ecosystem

The STIX Ecosystem allows for asymmetrical scalability for MU-STIX-G deployment in end-to-end testing scenarios. Customized testing protocols may be configured based on the required source count and available MU-STIX-CTL slots.
