Lightware 25G-8HDMI2-A3K2-IB

25G-8HDMI2-A3-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-A3-IB has eight HDMI connectors with an additional 5-pole analog Phoenix audio connector for each HDMI port. Each input has 30m 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 A3 add-on has bi-directional and configurable Phoenix connectors. 2-channel LPCM 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. 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.
