LIGHTWARE DA2HDMI-4K-Plus HDMI Distribution Amplifier with HDCP

DA2HDMI-4K-Plus is a multifunctional distribution amplifier with built‑in EDID Management and Pixel Accurate Reclocking, supporting DVI and HDMI 1.4 signals with or without HDCP encryption. The output signal is reclocked and stabilized using Lightware Pixel Accurate Reclocking technology to remove jitter caused by long cables or poor quality sources.

DA2HDMI-4K-Plus features Advanced EDID Management and can emulate any HDMI display for continuous video output, even if the attached display is disconnected or powered down. HDCP enable/disable function turns off the unit’s HDCP capability, which helps integrate certain laptops into a non‑HDCP AV environment. The EDID memories from 1 to 55 are factory preset, the memories from 62 to 98 are user programmable. EDID memories from 56 to 61 are for universal EDID presets. Memory 0 is transparent for output 1, memory 99 is transparent for output 2, so using these settings the EDID of the last attached display devices (monitor or projector) will be reported to the source. With the Easy EDID Creator (PC software wizard) the users can create their own EDID by completing four simple steps. Experienced users can use the Advanced EDID Editor software to manage every possible setting in the EDID, which can be uploaded to the user programable memory of the DA2HDMI-4K-Plus.

DA2HDMI-4K-Plus can be rack‑mounted or used standalone. The unit is equipped with the highest grade gold plated connectors to ensure reliable connection.

The device can be powered via HDMI 5V output, meaning that there is no need for an additional 110V AC source in the room, thus integrators can save significant amounts of time and investment.
