8. Auto-scaling Function
This Antiference HDMI splitter supports an auto-scaling function allowing a 1080p display
to receive content from a 4K source. The system simply identies the maximum
resolution of the displays connected via the EDID of the display and automatically
downscales to 1080p if required.
This function does not support any other resolutions such as 720p so if there is no
video on a connected display then it most likely does not support 1080p or 4K.
