The unique feature of this 1x8 HDMI HDBaseT Splitter is that you have complete control of each one of the 8-outputs of which you can either turn OFF or turn ON the signal going to the 8-displays. Usual 1x8 splitters do not allow you to do that. You control the outputs of this 1x8 HDMI HDBaseT splitter with an IOS or Android app, front buttons, WEB GUI control or the RS-232 serial port. It also has optional URC, Elan & 2-Way Control4 drivers and more. Other features will allow you to add more outputs to a total of nine and even growing it to a full 4K matrix switch in the future by buying HDMI input cards.
HDTV Supplys implementation of the HDBaseT technology and this product adds virtually zero latency to the HDMI audio and video signal, less than 7 microseconds (0.000007 sec) over 330 feet of CAT6 cable. At 100 feet you are talking about 3 microseconds (0.000003 sec). This means for example, in a factory, church or auditorium, the speakers lips are always in synch with the video image on all the TVs and projectors 100's of feet away.

Q: Do you have any tips in the unlikely event the unit fails?
A: Turn it OFF and then disconnect the matrix from the AC power and all cables. Pull out each board from the rear and push back in. Plug all cables back in and turn it on.
Q: How is HDBaseT technology different than others?
A: Unlike other HD distribution technologies, HDBaseT is the only technology which enables CAT6/6/7 connectivity from 70 meters to 100 meters, depending upon the specific product, for uncompressed full HD multimedia content and up to 100 watts of charging power via a single cable. HDBaseT is optimized for video applications and can connect all HDBaseT enabled home entertainment devices. Also, HDBaseT technology has the capacity to deliver double the resolution available today to future 2K and 4K formats. Other existing solutions also require a specific cable and/or a new proprietary connector while HDBaseT utilizes the existing Ethernet infrastructure.
HDMI HDbaseT Extender Helpful Tips & Recommendations:
- Keep cables away from any equipment with an electromagnetic wave, e.g., mobile phone, microwave, radio equipment, fluorescent lamp, high voltage power lines, etc.
- CAT6/6 cables should not exceed 330 feet or (70m).
- Please adhere to the TIA/EIA568B standards when terminating network cables in the field.
- Shielded CAT6/6 with metal RJ-45 connectors are recommended to safeguard against random video flashes caused by electromagnetic interference (EMI).
