The Gefen 2x8 HDMI Switcher is equipped with two HDMI inputs and eight HDMI outputs. Two inputs accommodate the simultaneous connection of up to two high definition
video sources, such as satellite systems and HD DVD players. The eight outputs send the high definition audio/video signals to up to eight high definition displays. Switching is done via the IR remote
that is provided with the unit.
NB: This product supports both digital video and digital audio signals, and is fully HDMI 1.2 compliant.
Fully HDCP Compliant
HDCP (high definition content protection) is a standard that is encoded into the video signal to prevent it from being
pirated. If a source device is HDCP coded and is connected to a HDTV display or projector without the proper HDCP decoding
mechanism, the picture is relegated to “snow” or in some cases, very low (480P) resolutions of the images. In order to see HDTV
with HDCP compliance, both the source and display devices must be equipped with HDMI or DVI connections that can enable HDCP decoding,
such as the HDMI Switcher/Splitter.
How it Works
The HDMI Switcher/Splitter is connected using an HDMI cable from each HDMI source to the HDMI Switcher/Splitter input. There are eight HDMI
outputs. HDMI output 1 is the primary connection and is used for the main display. HDMI outputs 2 through to 8 follow the main display.
The Gefen HDMI 2x8 Switcher/Splitter supports 480p, 720i, 720p, 1080i and 1080p resolutions. The HDMI displays attached to the 2x8 HDMI switcher
MUST have the same native resolution in order to get a picture.
