Features
State-of-the-art Silicon Image (Founder of H DMI) chipset embedded for u pmos t
compatibility and reliability
HDMI 1.3c compliant
HDCP compliant
Allows any source to be displayed on multiple displays at the same time
Allows any HDMI display to view any HDMI source at any time
Supports 7.1 channel digital audio
Supports full IR frequency 20kHz – 60kHz
Supports default HDMI EDID and learns the EDID of displays
The matrix master can switch every output channel to any HDMI input by push-in
button, IR remote control, Ethernet, or RS-232 control
Allows control of local HDMI sources such as DVD and TiVo® by IR extender through
control path at remote receiver
Allows control of main matrix switch through control line at remote receiver
Extends video signal up to 35m (115 feet) over CAT5e at 1080p and likely longer with
better HDMI source device (such as PS3
®
), better grade HDMI display (such as Sony
X-series HDTV
®
), and better quality solid CAT6 cable
Easy installation with rack-mounting and wall-mounting designs for master and receiver
respectively
Fast response time – 2~5 seconds for channel switch
The length depends on the characteristics and quality of the cables. Higher
resolutions and longer t ransmission distances r equire l ow s kew cables
(<25ns/100m) for best p erformance. Unshielded CAT6 with metal RJ-4 5
connectors is recommended.
