LIGHTWARE DA8-HDMI20-C 8-output HDMI 2.0 Distribution Amplifier with EDID Management and HDCP 2.3 Support

DA8-HDMI20-C is a compact distribution amplifier with built-in EDID Management and Pixel Accurate Reclocking, supporting DVI, HDMI 1.4, and HDMI 2.0 signals with or without HDCP encryption. The output signal is reclocked and stabilized to remove jitter caused by long cables or poor quality sources. Moreover, to ensure compatibility, the 4K signal on the output is automatically down-converted to HD when HD displays are connected.

DA8-HDMI20-C features EDID Management and can emulate EDID to the video source even if no active HDMI display is attached to the outputs. HDCP enable/disable function turns off the HDCP capability on the input, which helps integrate certain laptops into a non-HDCP AV environment. There are 5 factory EDID presets and one programmable memory for storing an user EDID. This latter one can be uploaded through the USB connector. Moreover, the device can use any EDID read from the HDMI display device connected to its video output ports.
