This 1×4+1 4K UHD HDMI Splitter provides an advanced solution for splitting and distributing a single HDMI input (up to 4K@60Hz w/ HDMI 2.0 & HDCP 2.X) to 4 HDBaseT outputs as well as to a single HDMI output with analog stereo audio breakout. The UHD source may be distributed to any of four HDBaseT Receivers via a single Cat.5e/6/7 cable (up to 70m at 1080p or up to 40m at 4K). Despite HDBaseT’s 10.Gbps bandwidth limitation, 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 processed and extended by the use of AVLC (Adaptive Visually Lossless Compression) when connected to compatible AVLC Receivers. If the connected HDBaseT Receiver can’t support AVLC, 4K@60Hz RGB/YUV 4:4:4 signals will be converted to YUV 4:2:0 or downscaled to 1080p based on the detected EDID on each output. This unit provides solid audio support, including bypassing 8 channel LPCM digital audio as well as advanced Bitstream and HD Bitstream audio formats via HDBaseT and HDMI. Additionally, an analog stereo audio breakout output is available to provide audio to local powered speakers (LPCM 2.0 sources only). Standard EDID management functionality is included and the PoH (Power over HDBaseT) feature can provide power to compatible receivers, providing greater flexibility in installations. Control is via front panel controls with an OSD and RS-232.
