Example 1: Retail Store Display Distribution
Retail Store Display Distribution
The DXE-218 is the perfect fit for HDMI distribution of the same signal up to 8 displays or more if daisy
chained together. The integrated per port downscaling allows for compatibility with lower cost 1080p
displays that normally cannot handle a 4K signal. This saves money by eliminating the need for
external scalers.
Retail stores typically display the same content on several screens for consumers to compare the
difference between the brands and models. These screens do not always have the same resolution
capabilities. The DXE-218 creates the compatibility with one 4K source.
The ability to do CEC control per port allows the DXE-218 to control the on/off and source inputs
independently on each screen. This can all be done remotely. This feature assures all the screens are
on when they should be and off when the store is closed as saving power and screen life is important.
Remote diagnostics is important too. The DXE-218 through the LAN can report what ports are
connected and read back the EDID of each screen to know what display is connected.
A clean install for serviceability is a must. PoE eliminates all external power supplies and even allows
for remote power cycling of the DXE-218. The DXE-218 is firmware upgradeable through the LAN and
it has a simple method for changing the IP address when units are swapped, especially when more
than one is connected.
The DXE-218 is the ultimate 8 port splitter advancing the technology to the next level.
