Attention:
1. In order to protect your SIX-G and complete system under test from possible damages,
please don't turn on the SIX-G power switch before generator Output is attached to
tested device (repeater, video processor or display) input.
Please make sure that system under test is completely powered off before you insert or
extract HDMI cable to any of involved devices.
2. Please insert and extract HDMI cables from your SIX-G gently and with high level of care.
3. During Hot-Plug between HDMI connector and receptacle (when tested device is On) ESD
discharge can occur due to the potential differences (possible ground -loop) between
powered equipments. These potential differences can be on extremely high level.
Our Fresco SIX-G HDMI output is protected against ESD discharge till 7KV on all active
HDMI lines, but in case if massive discharge will be over that value, will cause serious
damage to SIX-G internal circuitry and can make SIX-G HDMI output completely
inoperable. We have sophisticated methods to measure directly on High voltage
protection chips evidences of such unwanted ESD event, but unfortunately, that will
automatically void SIX-G warranty. In your own interest please pay full attention and
prevent your workplace from occurrence of ESD by trying to create Static-safe working
environment.

Overview
Verifying and calibrating HDR is one of the most difficult things in the current UHD landscape. HDR
is a key element in HDMI 2.0(a) specifications. Most manufactures have already (or have plans to)
implement HDR into their display devices in one way or another. The current landscape of HDR as
of this writing (Jan, 2016), contains various theories and concepts on proper implementation.
There are many resources I highly recommend reading on the last page of this document to help
you see exactly what it happening out there as it pertains to HDR. Even though there are differing
theories on how HDR should be “decoded” a mastering process is already in place, so the
implementation is sound.
In this document you will see how to use the Fresco SIX-G to get the “HDR Mode” response from
displays so you can examine how HDR effects greyscales, etc.
We are continuously working with our partners like SpectraCal to define a color correction process
when this mode is active as the luminance is typically “through the roof” and it uses an entirely
different Gamma curve.
There is already HDR Mastered content available from sources like VUDU, Amazon and soon
Netflix. As well at the UHD Blu-Ray on its heels, so from an integrators/calibrator standpoint you
need to understand how HDR content effects these displays and how to get it reproduced
properly.
Key Features:
“3-Ways” of operation
oFree PC Software
oFront Panel Control
oCalMan Calibration Software (Coming Soon)
HDR Metadata can “ride” on any pattern in the device
Can initiate “HDR Mode” from front panel with no need for software
Can read HDR metadata
Can input any Infoframe manually
Can store 2 separate “infoframe injections” for various configurations
Can use CalMan to measure against Gamma throughout Greyscale

What Is HDR?
HDR (High Dynamic Range) is mastering process by which content creators can use higher peak
luminance and a lower minimum luminance. While “High Dynamic Range” is straightforward in a
basic since, it does open up new possibilities not previously explored.
This addition of light and contrast really adds something special to the 4K UHD landscape. Some
immediate advantages of HDR in the real world are:
More light, a lot more light. This means that in commercial, and even lots of common
residential applications, viewers will get a “fuller” image with better contrast ratios, even in
high ambient light situations.
Ability to “localize” or concentrate light. Allows for unique effects in dark scenery, for
instance a street light can appear to cast a longer, more defined beam of light before it
blurs.
Better perceived sharpness –Our eyes interoperate this light as a better picture. We are
pleased by light. This is a major victory in the world of calibration especially, because you
no longer have to sacrifice a noticeable amount of light to achieve perfect colors.
More natural perceived motion –This is one of the most interesting anomalies. When HDR
is implemented, our eyes are behaving differently. Motion appears more lifelike and true
to form.
Content creators are using new gamma, greyscale and color targets to create an infinitely
more robust viewing experience.
From a reproduction standpoint manufacturers are “decoding” the content differently, and
essentially placing the end sync device in an entirely new mode that can only be activated by the
proper infoframe injection. Without this it is impossible to initiate an HDR viewing experience.
For more a more in depth, technical, understanding please see some of the resources on the last
page.

Using HDR Function on Murideo Fresco SIX-G
There are 3 ways to use HDR on the SIX-G:
Free PC Control Software
Front Panel Control
CalMAN Control (Coming Soon)
Using HDR Function on Murideo Fresco SIX-G: Free PC Software
***NOTE: You must set the Infoframe Metadata using the software to activate the front panel
controls***
To use the Free PC Software, you must connect to a PC and open the “MURIDEO SIX-G”
software, version 1.10 or later. This is available for download from our website.
Once you have opened the software you will see a tab that says “HDR”. This tab look like the
image below (Page 7):
The buttons on this screen are as follows:
“Turn off HDR” –Turns off HDR completely
“HDR Test Info 1” –Sends the metadata stored in “1”
“HDR Test Info 2” –Sends the metadata stored in “2”
“Infoframe Injection” –Allows user to manually input an infoframe and either send it to the
display or DUT or save it in one of the 2 memories.
“Send IF” - Sends the manually input infoframe or a read infoframe
“Save To” –Use the radio button to choose slot 1 or 2 and press “Save to” to save either a
manually input infoframe or a read infoframe
“Read Test Info Data” –Reads the HDR Data from Display (Can then be saved for later use)

Using HDR Function on Murideo Fresco SIX-G: Front Panel Controls
Manual operation is well suited for testing video distribution system components prior to installation or for
step-by-step diagnostics and to isolate faulty component within an installed system.
Typical manual operation steps:
1. Connect the SIX-G generator to the unit under test using an HDMI cable.
2. Power ON the SIX-G generator using the internal battery or the supplied AC power adapter.
3. Power ON the unit under test.
4. Use the navigation keys of the SIX-G to select the resolution, pattern and HDMI setting desired for
testing.
5. The unit under test will display the selected test pattern if it is compatible with the test signal
timing and signal parameters. (We recommend a grey step pattern for easy identification of HDR)
6. Use the navigation menu by:
6.1 Pressing “OK”
6.2 Navigate to the left through the screens
6.3 Once you are at HDR you may select one of the stored Infoframes you set up on page 8.
