Installation Notes

Ultra Slim, Ultra High Denition. The WyreStorm Express
EXP-SP-0104-4K 1x4 4K Splitter enables lossless
duplication and distribution of a single HDMI UltraHD
or HD source to up to 4 connected outputs for simple,
exible and reliable content replication to multiple display
devices supporting resolutions up to 4Kx2K.

Featuring HDMI 1.4a specication supporting data rates
up to 10.2Gb/s, for lossless audio/video formats, full
3D and Lip Sync, the EXP-SP-0104-4K also includes
24bit True Color with chroma subsampling rate of 4:2:2
for 4K color palette and 36bit Deep Color for 1080p
transmissions.

Automatic HDCP and EDID management continuously
negotiates and authenticates communication between
connected devices, ensuring simultaneous distribution
of source content to all outputs, while also maintaining
signal integrity via internal equalization and amplication
to output devices.

Systems can be further expanded by cascading multiple
EXP-SP-0104-4K units to create larger distributions; with
4K transmissions cascaded twice and 1080p signals up

to 12 times to the same model units for exible, scalable
solutions for residential and commercial applications.

Furthermore, with the addition of an in-line WyreStorm
EXP-SCL-DAC-4K scaler/Dolby downmixer between
splitter and display device, combined 4K, HD and
multichannel or stereo audio distributions can be created
without risking resolution or audio disparity between
devices.

As such, the EXP-SP-0104-4K represents an ideal
solution wherever simple-yet-reliable distribution of single
HDMI source to multiple outputs is required, with the
versatility and cost-eciency to ensure systems are just
as easily expanded or adjusted to meet the needs of any
application.

FEATURES AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

3. Safety Precautions

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock
or product damage:

• Protection against ESD (electrostatic discharge) included within

the unit to further stabilise transmission.

• LED indications for clear power and video signal selection.

• 5v mains supply included but receivers may be powered through the

USB port of the display using Wyrestorm USB to 5v power adaptor)

• Fully cascadable to further lengthen transmission.

*NOTE: ideal conditions denote cable run is within
specified distance range of product, no electrical
interference, the use of straight cable runs with no bends
or kinks and no patch panels or wall outlets used. Please
be advised that the presence of any of these factors in
your installation may compromise bandwidth and signal
strength. For longer transmission distances, RS232 control
and Ethernet pass-through, please see our full HDBaseT
or HDBT Lite range of matrices, transmitters, receivers and
extender sets.
