This article is apart of a continuing year long series that highlights the people and experience of those that have worked closely with the Imaging Science Foundation for years. If you missed the last opening article from last month start here.

We have accomplished much over the years, and I have personally been recognized, awarded and written about for years - that is certainly not the whole story.  The untold story is the years of hard work of many other ISF instructors who have made this possible. I have not done this alone, and it is time many of them have been given a voice. This is the first of a year long series where you will here from some of the top calibrators working alongside ISF, we hope you enjoy.   -ISF Founder, Joel Silver

This month we will hear from Michael Hamilton...

My fondest memory - endearing and everlasting in the ISF's now second decade - continues to be Joel's tireless commitment and personal access to attendees during seminars. His unique charisma never fails to bring people, literally from all over the world, to form a collegial camaraderie during the now three days of classes. Whether prior to a session starting, during a break or at the conclusion of the day,  I've never failed to see Joel seek out someone to clarify a point, show something supplemental as an aside to the course topics, or simply allow someone to interpersonally engage him. From my first seminar as an attendee in 1995 at Lansing, MI through my most recent in Anaheim this past November, I am constantly in awe at how selflessly Joel devotes himself the ISF experience. 

Undoubtedly he has contributed to making my life rewarding beyond my dreams in an industry I love, as well as becoming a deeply treasured friend.
 
And I would be remiss to not mention Jeff Murray's countless time, toiling often behind the scenes, which has richly contributed to the ISF  throughout the decades. I hold dearly in my heart, a trove of decades-long memories and experiences we've shared. I am truly blessed.

Hunting down HDMI issues just got a lot easier with this handheld or rack-mountable test monitor from Murideo. 

​Sioux Falls, S.D. - Murideo, an AVPro Global Holdings company, is excited to announce a new product, the MU-MON-SING, an 18Gbps 4K HDR HDMI input field test monitor with analyzer functions. The product features a seven-inch full HD playback screen, EDID management, a built-in signal analyzer, HDCP 2.3 support, battery adaptor, and more.

Murideo’s 4K test monitor is a compact device that comes with a battery adapter for working around a job site, but also fits perfectly in a rack with an HDMI loop out port that will pass along any 4K signal. This monitor also offers signal analyzer information such as resolution, color space, HDCP, HDR confidence, and audio type analysis. The ability to view HDMI signals up to 18Gbps (4096x2160P60 4:4:4) allows integrators to use this monitor with every consumer source on the market. As a part of the Murideo testing and troubleshooting family, the standards for this product are of the highest in the industry.

Matt Murray, CTO of AVPro Global, stated, “The MU-MON-SING was brought to market by the overwhelming requests of field installers. I would say it was designed by installers based on their feedback and requests. It combines field portability in a lightweight yet large (7 inch) screen with some basic analysis function, including incoming signal information like resolution, frame rate, chroma sub-sampling, HDR, and more! It should become a common tool for field installers to have on the trucks.”
