Introduction 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 40 Gbps level. Additionally, the SIX-G is an excellent field troubleshooting tool for distributed high bandwidth HDMI systems and a reference source for video cali- bration.

03 - Color Space Setup Select the Color Space for the display or system you are testing. These include the following options: RGB (0-255) – RGB Full is generally reserved for PC monitors since PCs use full range RGB. RGB (16-235) – RGB Limited - HDTV SMPTE Range – Movies and most video based content (TV Shows, streaming, etc.) are viewed and produced within this range.

05 - Deep Color Depth Deep Color Depth - Also known as Color Depth/Bit Depth. Allows selection of bit depth between 8 and 16-bits per pixel. This menu contains the following options: 8Bit 10Bit 12Bit 16Bit As the Bit Depth increases the image looks smoother, especially within solid colors in the image. Note: Resolution/Timing, Color Space, and Bit Depth are interrelated and they all effect the total band- width.

06 - HDCP Setup In this menu you can enable or disable HDCP. Disabling HDCP may be useful while troubleshooting. These menu contains the following options: HDCP OFF HDCP1.4 HDCP2.3 The above example the repeater/AVR cannot pass HDCP 2.x (resulting in “HDCP Snow”). Steps must be taken to convert, bypass, or replace the non-compliant device.

08 - HDMI /DVI Setup This menu will allow you to select between HDMI and DVI as the SIX-G-8K’s output. Although the SIX-G- 8K’s physical output port is HDMI, if using an HDMI to DVI adapter anywhere in the signal chain this may result in no signal or no image on the display under test.

10 - Audio Setup The SIX-G-8K is also capable of generating audio test tones for confidence testing. If using the SIX-G-8K for audio testing you can set the following: Audio Sampling Rate Audio Sampling Size Audio Source Audio Channels Audio Volume Once you select the audio output parameters the SIX-G-8K will output a 1KHz test tone.
Audio Generator: Audio Sample Rate Allows audio sampling rates between 32K and 192K. This menu contains the following options: 44.1K 176K 192K NOTE: There is no “one size fits all” setting for Audio Sample Rate. Choose the selection that you need for your specific application.
Audio Generator: Audio Source This menu contains the following options: INT. SineWaveTone (1K) EXT. Stereo If you would like to use an external audio source instead of the internal test tone generator select the EXT (external) Stereo setting. Connect your audio source to the 3.5mm “L/R IN” port on the connections panel.

11 - CEC Test The CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) test is a simple pass/fail test to confirm CEC is functioning on the device that is connected to the SIX-G-8K. This can be either a source, repeater, or sink (display). To run the CEC test connect an HDMI Cable from the SIX-G-8K to the device you are testing.
Page 26
12 - Sync & Latency Test This test is designed to measure (in microseconds “us”) the sync and latency between the source and sink. This could be something as simple as an HDMI cable or as complex as a distributed AV system. The results of this test will give you the data needed to adjust any audio or video delay adjustments in the AV system.

13 - Save EDID: You can save up to 6 EDIDs from any device that has an EDID. Reading the EDID of the device that you are testing will help you understand the capabilities of the device. To save and EDID: Connect an HDMI Cable between the SIX-G-8K and the device you would like to read the EDID from Navigate to the SAVE EDID menu...
Page 28
14 - Sink EDID Info This menu will give you the basic EDID information of the device that is connected to the SIX-G-8K. This information includes the device’s manufacturer, preferred timing, and more. NOTE: To see detailed information about the EDID use the SIX-G-8K PC Control Software.
15 - System Setup This menu contains 4 sub menus 1 - Auto Power Off 2 - Output Standby 3 - Vital Information 4 - Reset All 1 -Auto Power Off You can set your SIX-G-8K to power off automatically when not in use.
