OVERVIEW

BLACK BOX® HDMI Splitters enable you to stream High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) signals from a single source to multiple screens and create impressive high-definition presentations.

The source of your video can be an HD DVD player, D-VHS player, satellite receiver, digital recorder, or other type of HDMI equipment, or a PC with a DVI connector. And, on the output side, you can use two or four high-definition plasma, LCD, or similar screens.

The splitters buffer the digital signal so uncompressed HD video and multichannel audio are reproduced without any loss. They also feature 1.65-Gbps bandwidth for transmitting HDMI signals in their entirety error-free.

The HDMI Splitters are ideal for trade shows, conference rooms, training rooms, and home theater setups. Plus, they’re a great choice for splitting signals in retail applications where you want to keep source equipment in a secure area. You can even cascade multiple units up to three levels to output HDMI video/audio to additional displays in widely distributed applications.

They also support HDTV resolutions up to 1080i and 1080p and feature a compact design for use in crowded equipment rooms and A/V cabinets.
