Dear Customer
Thank you for purchasing this product. For optimum performance
and safety, please read these instructions carefully before
connecting, operating or adjusting this product. Please keep this
manual for future reference.
INTRODUCTION
The ANI-28UHDDA 4K UHD Switching Splitter with HDCP 2.2
is an advanced solution providing high performance audio and
video support including HDR and other features dened by the
HDMI 2.0a specication. 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 the (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 1x4 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 specications are
connected, each output can be congured to scale 4K to 1080p
or apply color space conversion (4:4:4 to 4:2:0), as appropriate.
Support for the CEC “active source” command to periodically reset
input selection on CEC-compatible connected displays is also
included. This unit provides an intuitive set of front panel controls
with an OSD as well as RS-232 control options. These products
have a 3 year warranty.
