To support HDCP protected content, all devices in the chain must be HDCP compliant.
HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) is the digital rights management method that television and movie studios use to protect their content from unauthorized duplication. So there's no need to mess with individual device settings or complicated programming - the HD-DA-2-QUAD manages it all automatically through EDID.īy supporting HDCP, the HD-DA-2-QUAD ensures compatibility with all current and future high-definition signals. The HD-DA-2-QUAD overcomes formatting conflicts by intelligently determining the optimal video resolution, frame rate, color depth, and audio format that all of the devices can handle. But when you split that source's output to feed two disparate devices, as with the HD-DA-2-QUAD, which device does the source respond to? And what if the devices don't all support the same formats?
In response to this data, the source ordinarily configures itself to send the best video resolution and audio format that both devices can support. Įmbedded in the HDMI signal there is data called EDID (Extended Display Identification Data), which is generated by a display or audio processor to inform the upstream source about its format and resolution capabilities. The HD-DA-2-QUAD supports HDMI with HDCP, Deep Color and 3D, handling 1080p60 HD video, WUXGA computer graphics, and multi-channel HD lossless audio.īesides handling every available HDTV format supported by HDMI, the HD-DA-2-QUAD also supports computer resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 WUXGA, and is compatible with DisplayPort Multimode and DVI computer signals using a simple adapter or dongle. It is designed for splitting up to four HDMI, DVI, or DisplayPort Multimode signals to feed separate displays or processors, and is ideal for adding "loop-thru" capability to the inputs of a Crestron DVPHD Digital Video Processor. The ethernet connection allows the use of a web browser to communicate with a built-in web server.The HD-DA-2-QUAD is a single rack-space unit containing four independent 1-to-2 HDMI® distribution amplifiers.
The device can be controlled through an ethernet connection, via an RS232 serial port, by using the front panel buttons and the on-screen display (OSD) or via an IR remote control unit. Audio output can be switched independently from the video allowing the audio from one source to be played over all connected HDMI sources.
With support for HDTV resolutions up to 1080p and computer resolutions to 1920x1200, and 60 frames per second (fps) in all four quadrants the SPLITMUX multi-viewer provides crisp, clean, fluid, real-time video performance. The SPLITMUX supports digital HDMI devices, such as DVD/Blu-ray players, satellite receivers and HDTV tuners. DVI signals can be connected by using optional DVI to HDMI cables. The device provides quad picture, picture-in-picture, full screen, and custom display modes. The SPLITMUX-HD-4RT HDMI quad-screen multi-viewer allows users to simultaneously display HDMI/DVI video from four different sources on a single monitor.
