Extron Electronics recently introduced DA HD 4K PLUS Series one-input, multiple-output distribution amplifiers for HDMI signals at resolutions up to 4K/60 @ 4:4:4 chroma sampling.
The DA HD 4K PLUS Series “are HDCP 2.2 compliant, and support data rates up to 18 Gbps, HDR, Deep Color up to 12-bit, 3D, and HD lossless audio formats,” according to a company press release.
“They also include integrator-friendly features such as automatic input cable equalization, automatic color bit depth management, and selectable output muting via RS-232.”
Extron’s DA HD 4K PLUS Series distribution amplifiers are available in two-, four-, and six-output sizes and “are ideal for applications that require the distribution of a 4K/60 HDMI source signal to multiple displays,” according to the press release.
“We are pleased to introduce the next generation of Extron HDMI distribution amplifiers, meeting the increasing need for 4K video distribution,” says Casey Hall, VP of worldwide sales and marketing for Extron.
“With 18 Gbps data rate capability, the DA HD 4K PLUS series provides the performance required to distribute 4K/60 signals at 4:4:4 chroma sampling, ensuring pristine performance for the most demanding applications.”
To enhance and simplify integration, front-panel indicators “provide easy monitoring and troubleshooting,” according to the Extron press release. Outputs can be muted independently via RS-232, allowing content to be previewed on a local monitor. [related]
Also featured are Extron EDID Minder and Key Minder technologies to maintain continuous EDID communication between connected devices, ensuring simultaneous distribution of HDCP-encrypted source content.
