1. INTRODUCTION
This 4K UHD Switching Splitter with HDCP 2.2 is an advanced solution
providing high performance audio and video support including HDR
and other features dened by the HDMI 2.0a specication. 4K UHD
HDMI video sources, up to and including 4K@60Hz (4:4:4, 8-bit) as well
as 10/12-bit sources with HDR, are able to be passed along to the 8
outputs. Pass-through of multiple digital audio formats such as LPCM
7.1, Bitstream and advanced HD Bitstream with audio sampling rates
up to 192kHz are also supported. An independent HDCP management
engine for each output ensures stable HDCP performance.
This splitter also includes a special “Group Mode” which allows the
unit to function as two independent 1×4 splitters. When Group Mode
is enabled, each of the 2 HDMI inputs are routed to their own discrete
set of 4 outputs.
When a mixture of displays with different specications are
connected, each output can be congured to scale 4K to 1080p or
apply color space conversion (4:4:4 to 4:2:0), as appropriate. Support
for the CEC “active source” command to periodically reset input
selection on CEC-compatible connected displays is also included. This
unit provides an intuitive set of front panel controls with an OSD as well
as RS-232 control options.
