2. Features

The WyreStorm SP-0108-4K splitter enables lossless
duplication and distribution of a single HDMI UltraHD 4K
or HD input to up to 8 UHD or HD outputs for simple,

exible and reliable content replication to multiple display

devices supporting 1080p at 60Hz and 4K resolutions up

to 4096x2160 at 30Hz.

With HDMI 1.4a specication supports data rates up to

10.2Gb/s, for lossless audio/video formats, full 3D and Lip

full 4K color palette chroma subsampling rate of 4:4:4

for UHD resolutions and 36bit Deep Color for 1080p HD
transmissions.

The SP-0108-4K includes continuous HDCP to prevent
screen drop-outs and extensive EDID management

settings for improved compatibility and communication

between connected display devices and source, ensuring
simultaneous content distribution while also maintaining
signal integrity via internal equalization and amplication to
output devices.

Systems can be further expanded by cascading multiple
SP-0108-4K 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-CON-4K-DD 4K/HD scaler and 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 SP-0108-4K represents an ideal solution

wherever simple-yet-reliable distribution of single HDMI
source to multiple outputs is required, with the exibility
of EDID management and (optional) integration with
WyreStorm 4K/HD scaling, systems are easily expanded
or adjusted to meet the needs of any application.
