In this video, Loel Wheeler (VP of Sales for Murideo Worldwide) showcases a new HDMI testing tool that’s creating buzz among integrators: the STIX — a compact, thumb-drive-sized HDMI generator and analyzer. He highlights its portability, feature set, and how it’s being adopted at CEDIA 2025 as a go-to tool for on-site verification of HDMI systems.

What the STIX Is and Why It Matters
Here are the key capabilities and strengths Loel demonstrates:
- It supports up to 48 Gbps, which is the full bandwidth of HDMI 2.1.
- It includes multiple test patterns, meaning you can generate standard HDMI test signals for resolution, timing, etc.
- It's powered via USB-C, so it’s easy to use in the field (no bulky power bricks).
- It is small and portable, making it ideal for integrators who want to carry a compact but capable tool.
- It allows verification of resolution, bandwidth, timing, and general system performance on the spot.
In short: it packs powerful diagnostics into a minimal form factor, which makes it attractive when you're out in clients’ homes or job sites.
Why It’s Gaining Traction
Why It’s Gaining Traction
Murideo designed the STIX as part of a new 8K/48 Gbps HDMI test ecosystem, built for today’s demanding AV environments. Since its debut, it has already earned recognition, winning Best New Integration Product at ISE 2025. AVPro Global describes the STIX platform as “flexible and scalable end-to-end testing,” while Murideo positions it as a critical tool for calibration and troubleshooting—helping eliminate the guesswork that comes with relying on other connected gear.
For installers, that means faster diagnostics, fewer callbacks, and confidence that every connection in a system is performing at its best. The STIX proves that big performance really can come in a small package.
