Block Diagram – Zigen ZIG-HAX-44/HDBT
General Operation
HAX-44/HDBT is the ultimate in high-bandwidth UHD switchers. With a full 600
MHz pixel clock the HAX-44/HDBT support high bandwidth sources and displays.
Additionally, the HAX-44/HDBT supports HDCP 2.2 copy protection so you can
be sure your customer is able to view the latest 4K UHD content – either
protected (movies) or computer content (un-protected).
Basic connections are 4 HDMI 2.0 sources (or below) and one HDMI output to
the display or projector. There is a SPDIF port that de-embeds audio from the
currently selected input and routes it to your audio matrix or multi-zone amplifier.
Additionally, with the HAX-44/HDBT there is a 100 meter HDBaseT port for long
distance runs. Note HDBaseT is limited to 4K/60 4:2:0 8-bit.
Advanced EDID management is available through a combination of the 4-pin
dipswitch and WebOS. 15 EDID tables are available, plus you can load custom
EDID tables. Or, leave the HAX-44/HDBT in the default mode and it will pull the
EDID from the connected/selected display. By being able to manage the EDID
and HPD (Hot Plug Detection) you can speed up switching in mixed format
systems.
Control the HAX-44/HDBT via the supplied remote control (IR – to built-in sensor
or run an IR receiver to the 3.5mm IR jack). You can also control the HAX-
44/HDBT via 3
rd
party control, RS-232, LAN (WebOS/Telnet), or via the input
selector switch on the front panel.
