Lightware 25G-8HDMI2-A3-IB
4K HDMI Input Board with Analog Audio Add-on
25G-8HDMI2-A3-IB provides fully transparent HDMI 1.4 connectivity to the latest high-end digital sources including 3D functions between the endpoints.
Description
25G-8HDMI2-A3-IB provides fully transparent HDMI 1.4 connectivity to the latest high-end digital sources including 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 300 MHz board supports the latest 3D formants as well as HD multichannel audio.
25G-8HDMI2-A3-IB has 8 HDMI connectors with an additional 5-pole analog Phoenix audio connector for each HDMI port. Each input has 30 m input cable equalization and an individual EDID Management.
25G-8HDMI2-A3-IB handles embedded audio in the HDMI signal (with capabilities of routing to the 25G audio layers). The analog input signal can be embedded to the 25G Video layer or sent to the Forward audio layer as well.
The A3 add-on has bidirectional and configurable Phoenix connectors. IEC 60958-1 audio embedded in the HDMI input or from the Return audio layer can be converted to an analog signal and switched to the Phoenix output. Moreover, the digitized analog audio through the analog input connector 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.
Supported Media Layers
- Video layer with embedded audio
- Forward audio layer
- Return audio layer
