The Murideo 8K SIX-G is an HDMI pattern generator intended for the AV integration market to confirm HDMI 2.0(b) and HDCP 2.3 operation at the 40Gbps level. This device can create a signal that allows it to act as any modern HDMI source. Additionally, the SIX-G is an excellent field troubleshooting tool for distributed high bandwidth HDMI systems and a reference source for video calibration.
The handheld device is portable thanks to a built-in battery and can generate over 100 different test patterns for setup, calibration, and troubleshooting. There’s a three-inch color display with simplified menus as well as free PC control software. The 8K SIX-G also features Hot Plug Detect, EDID read/write functionality, and the ability to create custom resolutions. There’s the option for either RS232 or USB control and support for Calman and Light Illusion calibration software. The 8K SIX-G is the only unit to carry the complete suite of ISF test patterns, select-able color output level, RGB Triplets, and Constant APL (Average Picture Level) all in one place. The 8K SIX-G is a calibrator’s dream because it’s: ISF Labs certified, the firmware is field upgradable, and it even includes audio confidence tests.
Pair the 8K SIX-G with the 8K SIX-A Analyzer, and you have the most powerful HDMI system troubleshooting system on the planet! You can upload any image/pattern you want.
