Metra ethereal CS-1X8HDMSPL5

Features

1x8 HDMI Splitter: The Metra Home Theater Group (HTG) CS-1X8HDMSPL5 is a 1x8 HDMI splitter with built-in scaling and EDID management that allows you to display a single source in multiple resolutions on up to 8 monitors or TVs, simultaneously. The CS-X18HDMSPL5 supports video resolutions up to 4K/60Hz (4:4:4) at 18Gbps, as well as 7.1ch multichannel audio.

Built-in Scaling: Built-in scaling provides the ability to take a standard definition, high definition, or ultra high definition resolution and downscale it to match each of the connected displays (up to 8), simultaneously. For example, show 4K/60Hz content on a 4K display while also showing the same content scaled down on a 1080p display. Unlike traditional splitters, this built-in scaling allows legacy devices to work with newer higher resolution displays in the system, without automatically defaulting to the lowest resolution. Video quality on newer TVs is no longer sacrificed by having an older model in the mix.

Note: This unit scales resolution only and does not scale framerate. To ensure functionality, verify that all displays support the source framerate.

HDMI 2.0/HDCP 2.2: The Metra CS-1X8HDMSPL5 is equipped with one HDMI 2.0 input and eight HDMI 2.0 outputs that support up to 4K/60Hz (4:4:) at 18Gbps, as well as 7.1ch multichannel audio.
