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.

- Displays audio information, including incoming sampling frequency, bit rate size, and audio type
- The STIX Ecosystem is compatible with any brand of HDMI devices
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.

Return autorization
If you would like to return any item(s), please contact us by either emailing info@dittools.eu or calling (+372) 5556 0057. We will share with you a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) code and ask that you clearly mark this code outside of your shipping box as you ship your item(s) back for a refund.
You will be liable for the shipping and any applicable customs/duty fees returning the item(s).
Incorrect items
If the return is made due to a faulty product, or an incorrectly shipped product, or if you are returning the item(s) due to a defect, or functionality issue, or because it is not the item you have ordered, we will gladly email or mail a return shipping label covering all shipping related expenses. In order to determine whether the return is initiated due to a technical problem, we may ask for you to provide visual support like images or a video on the item(s).
Shipping
Returned merchandise must be in its original packaging, and placed in a decent shipping box, e.g. the same box that we shipped the items to you in. Please make sure to clearly mark the RMA code you have received from us outside on the box.
Do not forget to cover or peel off any existing shipping labels on the box.
DIT Supplies OÜ cannot be held accountable for return shipments that have not reached us or returns made without RMA codes. We strongly advise that if you are returning the item(s) with a carrier of your choice that you use a traceable shipping method.
It may take 4-5 business days for your return to reach us. Once it is received and inspected, your refund will be processed and automatically applied to your credit card or original method of payment within 14 business days.

Customs, duties & taxes
There are no customs duties or taxes on orders shipping within the EU. Orders shipped outside of the EU may be subject to import taxes, customs duties and fees collected by the destination country. The recipient of an international shipment may be subject to such import taxes, customs duties and fees, which are collected once a shipment reaches the recipient's country. Additional charges for customs clearance must be paid for by the recipient; we have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be. Customs policies vary widely from country to country; and when customs clearance procedures are required, it can cause delays beyond our original delivery estimates. We advise that you contact your local customs office for more information.
