Description
25G-8HDMI2-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 300 MHz board supports the latest 3D formats as well as HD multichannel audio.
25G-8HDMI2-IB has 8 HDMI connectors. Each input has 30m input cable equalization and an individual EDID Management.
25G-8HDMI2-IB handles embedded audio in the HDMI signal and can deembed 2-channel LPCM and various IEC 61937 audio streams from it to the Forward Audio Layer. Embedding of such audio streams from the Return Audio Layer to the HDMI signal is also supported. All 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.
