Introduction
The HDMI v1.3 Distribution Amplifier Series is the most advanced solution to
HDMI signal distribution. Each product in this series is compatible to HDMI v1.3

Color (10-bit and 12-bit) video and new lossless compressed (Dolby TrueHD, Dolby
Digital Plus and DTS-HD Master Audio) digital audio, with a high bandwidth up to
10.2Gbps. Besides splitting and distributing, the HDMI v1.3 DA series also does
signal amplification and equalization, so as to provide high performance I/O of audio
and video.
