Description
25G-8HDMI2-A2-IB provides fully transparent HDMI 1.4 connectivity to the latest high-end digital sources including Audio Return Channel and 3D functions between the endpoints. Supports resolution up to 4096x2160@30Hz in 4:4:4 mode or 3840x2160@60Hz in 4:2:0 mode. The new 300MHz board supports the latest 3D formats as well as HD multichannel audio.
25G-8HDMI2-A2-IB has eight HDMI connectors with an additional digital S/PDIF audio connector for each HDMI port. Each input has 30m input cable equalization and an individual EDID Management.
25G-8HDMI2-A2-IB handles embedded audio in the HDMI signal (with capabilities of routing to the 25G audio layers).
The A2 add-on has bi-directional configurable S/PDIF connectors. 2-channel LPCM or various IEC 61937 audio streams embedded in the HDMI input or from the Return Audio Layer can be switched to the S/PDIF output. Moreover, such audio streams through the S/PDIF input can be embedded to the HDMI signal or can be routed to the Forward Audio Layer.
The audio options of the HDMI input board are software configurable on a per-port basis. The board also provides connectivity options for computers with USB HID peripherals through its USB-B connectors on the K2 add-on. Each input port can handle two HID devices.
