Introduction
The SEVEN Generator is the next generation in HDMI test and measurement equipment from Murideo.
An approved test device for Dolby Vision™ and Dolby Audio™, the SEVEN hosts an unmatched suite of
audio and video tests. This device is the GO-TO tool for the video device, display, or repeater manufac-
turer as well as the consummate video professional.
The impressive video capabilities of the SEVEN include native 10/12 Bit BT2020 video output with over
1000 patterns, including HDR, SDR, Dolby Vision, and HLG. Test patterns are generated from FPGA or
raw YUV les for a truly native experience and include video playback. The SEVEN includes the full suite
of patterns from Diversied Video Solutions and other patterns and videos from Bill Wetzel, ISF, PVA,
Portrait Displays, and Spears & Munsil. This device is the ideal solution for display calibration and evalu-
ation. The test suite allows the user to construct a test signal with any video format and any audio for-
mat, then execute a test based on your own parameters and allows for reporting. The device has 1.5TB
of storage, with reservations for up to 3 minutes of 4K60 4:4:4 video playback so the user can quickly
load patterns using the USB 3.0 interface. The SEVEN is also capable of 120 frame video playback.
The impeccable performance in video generation is just the beginning. As a test device approved by
Dolby Laboratories, Inc., SEVEN was designed with advanced audio testing capabilities, including A/V
Sync (Lip Sync), Audio Latency, and Dolby Audio. This approved test device for Dolby Audio contains all
current Dolby Audio streams, including; Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus (w/Dolby Atmos), Dolby MAT
(Dolby Atmos), and Dolby True HD (w/ Dolby Atmos). The Audio Suite of tests is available in HDMI Tx,
ARC Tx, and eARC Tx. With additional features like tone generation, frequency sweeps, AV Sync mea-
surements, audio latency measurements, this is an audio swiss army knife. The built-in photo-diode
sensor and microphone allow you to get real-time sync and latency measurements from HDMI and ARC/
eARC.

Connections
12
AV SYNC SENSORS
Visual Probe - connect the included light sensor for video or
audio/video latency tests. After connecting the sensor to the
SEVEN-G-8K, place the sensor in the middle of the display.
The sensor can also be attached to a tripod if you are using
it to test video or audio/video latency of a 2 piece projec-
tion system.
Microphone - This mini-XLR connection is where you
connect the included microphone for audio or audio/
video latency tests. After connecting the microphone to
the SEVEN-G-8K, place the microphone as close to the
display’s speaker (or a speaker in the audio system) as
possible.
NOTE: We have found extension cables that work with the visual probe and microphone. These can be
used in applications where the included cables are too short. If you would like a recommendation on ex-
tension cables, feel free to email us at [email protected]
HDMI PORTS
HDMI OUTPUT - Using a known good HDMI cable, connect
the SEVEN-G-8K to the device you’d like to test.
HDMI INPUT - Using a known good HDMI cable, connect the
SEVEN-G-8k to the source you’d like to test.

CONTROL
The SEVEN-G-8K has multiple connections
for control. These can be used to control the
SEVEN-G-8K remotely, for FW updates, or for
uploading custom test patterns, audio les, or
video clips. The connections are:
·IP Control - Use an Ethernet cable to connect the SEVEN-G-8k to a network to access the Web UI.
NOTE: For this to work properly your PC must be on the same network as the SEVEN-G-8K. The
default IP address is 192.168.1.239, but can be changed in the System Setup menu if needed.
·RS-232 Control - Use a DB9 cable to connect the SEVEN-G-8K to a PC. You can now remotely
control the SEVEN-G-8K via RS-232 protocol. This can also be used to access and use any of the
included SEVEN-G-8K software packages.
·Serial Link - Use a 3-pin terminal to connect the SEVEN-G-8K to a PC. You can now remotely

Connections Cont.
Audio INPUT
2 CH. LINE LEVEL EXT. AUDIO INPUT - Use this 3.5mm
input to connect an external audio source to the SEVEN-G-
8K. This can be used if you have audio test tones or perhaps
music clips from another device.
Audio OUTPUTS
Extracted S/PDIF Audio OUTPUT - Connect the SEVEN-G-8K to
an external audio preamp, amplier, AVR, or any other device
that has an audio input. Use this to test/conrm audio signals.
NOTE: This is only used to pass the extracted audio from the
HDMI stream. These cannot be used as a “stand alone” audio
output from the SEVEN-G-8K. There are 2 connections:
·TOSLINK
·Digital Coax

Navigation Tutorial
If this is your rst time using the SEVEN-G-8K take a few moments to learn how to navigate through the
SEVEN-G-8K’s menu system. In this example we are going to select a DVS HDR Evaluation test pattern,
then a Chroma Sub 500 test pattern.
POWER
·12V/3A - Here is where you connect the SEVEN-G-8K’s power supply.
NOTE: Only use the included power supply.
·POWER SWITCH - This a simple ON/OFF switch to power the SEVEN-G-
8K o (down position) or ON (up position).
control the SEVEN-G-8K via RS-232 protocol. This can also be used to access and use any of the
included SEVEN-G-8K software packages.
·USB 3.0 - Use a USB cable to connect the SEVEN-G-8K to a PC. . You can now remotely control
the SEVEN-G-8K via RS-232 protocol. This can also be used to access and use any of the included
SEVEN-G-8K software packages.
NOTE: You MUST use the USB connection for uploading custom test patterns, audio les, or video clips.
If loading FW you can use whichever control connection is most convenient to you.
