Overview
The ZIG-PHASED is a simple HDMI 2.0 1x2 Repeater, which takes a single HDMI source and outputs the
audio and video to two independent HDMI sinks. The HDMI outputs are featured with independent
scaling capabilities and will automatically optimize the video resolutions depending on the capabilities
of the connected displays. As a repeater, this is a perfect solution for mixed resolution environments
where a sink can output a video resolution for the display with highest resolution, such as UHDp60 4:4:4,
while downscaling the opposing output connected to a lower resolution display, such as 1080p60.
The ZIG-PHASED is also an audio extractor from HDMI Input or ARC (HDMI Output 1).
where the extracted audio can be heard.

The ZIG-PHASED is an EDID Manager to configure the audio and video of an HDMI source. Multiple built-
in video resolution EDID settings can be selected with enable/disable control of HDR. Multiple Audio
formats can be chosen from 2-channel PCM to the latest surround sound formats. EDID from any sink
can be stored permanently in two memory slot locations and can be later recalled for use even though
that sink had been disconnected from the unit.
The ZIG-PHASED is also a fixed pattern test signal generator. Different test patterns can be produced at
different resolutions depending on the capabilities of the connected HDMI sinks.
The ZIG-PHASED is a multi-purpose audio/video tool. As an HDMI2.0 1:2 Repeater, it has independent
automatic scaling at the outputs for mixed resolution environments. As an audio extractor, it can extract
audio from an HDMI source or from Audio Return Channel (ARC) from Smart TVs without the need for
an Audio/Video Receiver in the system. With its EDID Management feature and Test Pattern Generator,
the ZIG-PHASED is an invaluable tool to help integrators fix common problems in the field.
