The Case · Why It's In Every Serious Bag

Every Callback Is a Margin Event.

// The Question Is Never "Is It Broken"

The question is "can you prove where." Without an instrument, a no-signal call is an afternoon of swapping parts and pointing fingers at the panel, the source, the cable, and the matrix. With Murideo, SIX-G injects a known-good signal and SIX-A analyzes exactly what's arriving at any point in the chain — so you isolate the fault in minutes, not visits. That's man-hours back and a truck roll that never happens.

STIX · MU-STIX-G / -A

Field · Thumb-Drive Verify

A thumb-drive-sized HDMI pattern generator and analyzer for large-deployment evaluations and light-duty in-field pass/fail. Multi-resolution, cost-effective, pocketable. Generator, Analyzer, Female variants, and a Controller.

MU-SIX-G-8K-M / -A

Field · The SIX Commissioning Pair

The instruments. SIX-G injects known-good 4K/8K test patterns anywhere in the chain; SIX-A analyzes what's actually arriving. The pair that proves the signal at commissioning and on every callback.

MU-FXHD-KIT-8K

Field · 8K Fox & Hound

Trace and verify routes and runs through the rack and the wall. Find the cable, confirm the path, document the install.

MU-GAX-8K

Bench · 48 Gbps Gen + Analyzer

Combined 48 Gbps generator and analyzer for the bench. Reproduce, dissect, and certify high-bandwidth signal behavior before it ships.

MU-GEN-SEVEN-G8K

Lab · SEVEN Generator

Reference-grade 8K signal generation for R&D, QA, and manufacturing. The top of the line — what gets used to validate the rest of the industry's gear.

CalMAN Integration

Calibration

Pattern generation built to drive a calibration workflow — bring a display to reference and document it. Equipment that was once elite-only, now in the integrator's kit.

Murideo SIX-G

MU-SIX-G-8K-M · The Generator

Signal Injector · The Source

Plugs in as a verified source. Outputs known-good test patterns at any resolution and format — so you know exactly what the rest of the chain is supposed to receive. Use it at the beginning of every diagnostic session and at final QA before the client walkthrough.

Signal Analyzer · The Receiver

Reads and reports everything about an incoming HDMI signal — TMDS clock, color depth, HDR metadata, HDCP handshake status, EDID data, frame rate, color space. Insert it anywhere in the chain to find exactly where signal integrity fails. This is the one that tells you whose fault it is.

Murideo STIX

MU-STIX-G · The Field Unit

Pocket Generator · Quick Cable Check

The STIX is what goes in your daily bag. Smaller, less expensive, same core concept — injects test patterns to verify cables, displays, and basic signal integrity. For the install tech who doesn't need the full 8K test suite but needs to know if a cable is good before it goes in the wall.

The 4-Step Diagnostic Workflow

1

Inject at Source

Connect SIX-G to the beginning of the signal chain in place of the source device. Select the relevant test pattern — 4K60, HDR10, 8K, whatever the chain is supposed to carry. You now have a verified, known-good source signal.

SIX-G

2

Verify at Display

Does the test pattern look correct on the display? Correct image, correct color space, HDR badge in the corner? If yes — signal chain is clean. Client's actual source or application is the problem. If no — proceed to step 3.

SIX-G + Display

3

Isolate with Analyzer

Insert SIX-A between components — first between SIX-G and the first component, then progressively downstream. The moment the SIX-A shows degraded signal, the problem is between that insertion point and the previous one. You now know exactly what to replace.

SIX-A

4

Document & Close

The SIX-A generates a readable signal report. Screenshot it or export it. Use it to close the warranty claim, justify the cable upgrade, or show the client proof that the TV's firmware — not your install — is the issue. The job is done. The proof is in the report.

SIX-A Report

Quick Reference — When to Use Which Tool

Symptom	First Move	What to Look For	Likely Cause	Tool
Blank screen	SIX-G at source, check display	Does test pattern appear?	Cable, extender, or HDCP failure	SIX-G + SIX-A
HDCP error on display	SIX-A at display	HDCP version mismatch in readout	Non-compliant device in chain	SIX-A
HDR not activating	SIX-G with HDR10 pattern	HDR metadata in SIX-A readout	Cable bandwidth or TV setting	SIX-G + SIX-A
Intermittent dropout	STIX for cable test first	Does STIX pattern hold? If not — bad cable	Marginal cable or connector	STIX then SIX
4K works, 8K doesn't	SIX-G at 8K pattern	SIX-A bandwidth readout	Cable or extender bandwidth limit	SIX-G + SIX-A
New install QA	STIX every run before wall closes	Pattern holds at rated bandwidth	Catch it now — not in 6 months	STIX
Extender not passing signal	SIX-G at extender input	SIX-A at extender output	Firmware, bandwidth, or EDID mismatch	SIX-G + SIX-A
Client says "picture looks wrong"	SIX-G with color space test	SIX-A color space vs. display setting	Color space mismatch (4:2:0 vs 4:4:4)	SIX-G + SIX-A

The Bench Behind The Brand

This Is Why Bullet Train Exists.

When the team went looking for a cable that could pass and came up empty across 100+ manufacturers, it was this bench they were testing against. Murideo is the measurement standard that made a better cable inevitable. Buy the tester, trust the cable, stop guessing on either.
