Overview

The LB-H2-SP28E Splitter is an advanced solution providing high performance audio and video support including HDR and other features defined by the HDMI 2.0a specification. 4K UHD HDMI video sources, up to and including 4K@60Hz (4:4:4, 8-bit) as well as 10/12-bit sources with HDR, are able to be passed along to 2/4/8 outputs. Pass-through of multiple digital audio formats such as LPCM 7.1, Bitstream and advanced HD Bitstream with audio sampling rates up to 192kHz are also supported. An independent HDCP management engine for each output ensures stable HDCP performance.
This splitter also includes a special “Group Mode” which allows the unit to function as two independent 1×4 splitters. When Group Mode is enabled, each of the 2 HDMI inputs are routed to their own discrete set of 4 outputs.
When a mixture of displays with different specifications are connected, each output will automatically scale 4K to 1080p or apply color space conversion (4:4:4 to 4:2:0), as appropriate, based on each connected display’s EDID. Supportforthe CEC“activesource” commandtoperiodically reset input selection on CEC-compatible connected displays is also included. This unit is controllable via simple front-panel switches with easy to read informational LEDs.
