The SP14AB is a HDMI 1:4 distribution amplifier which splits a single DVI or HDMI audio/video source to four identical HDMI outputs / displays. The SP14AB support video resolutions from 1080p Full HD up to and including 4K@30Hz UHD and all 3D formats as well as multichan­nel digital audio formats including Dolby® True HD and DTS-HD® Master Audio™. An embedded audio extractor can also extract the HDMI audio signal and output it via a 3.5mm L/R analogue audio output and SPDIF coaxial. (Only two channel PCM is supported on the analogue audio breakout)

EDID Control
EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) is a data structure that is used between a display and a source. This data is used by the source to find out what audio and video resolutions are supported by the display then from this information the source will determine what the best audio and video reso­lutions need to be outputted.
While the objective of EDID is to make connecting a digital display to a source a simple plug and play procedure issues do arise when multiple displays or video matrix switching is introduced because of the increased number of variables.
By pre-determining the video resolution and audio format of the source and display device you can reduce the time need for EDID hand shaking thus making switching quicker and more reliable. In­structions on these setting can be found opposite.
