Deep Color up to 12-bit, 3D, Lip Sync, and HD lossless audio formats.
HDCP authentication and signal presence LED indicators — Front panel LED
indicators provide real-time feedback and monitoring of key performance parameters.
Automatic color bit depth management — Automatically adjusts color bit depth of
the currently selected HDMI input signal based on the display EDID, preventing color
compatibility conflicts between HDMI source and display.
HDMI to DVI interface format correction — Automatically reformats HDMI source
signals for output to a connected DVI display.
Automatic input cable equalization to 50 feet (15 meters) at 1080p 60Hz with

Audio input assignment — Provides integration flexibiity. In normal operation, the
analog audio inputs follow the corresponding RGB input. Alternately, they can be
assigned to follow preset groups of RGB and digital inputs. Grouped inputs can share
a common analog audio input. The HDMI output can be set to pass incoming digital
audio, embed the analog audio, or to automatically embed the analog audio when no
digital audio is detected.

(selectable) with an active video signal.
RS-232 control port — Enables the use of serial commands for complete control
and configuration via the Extron Windows
®
-based control program or integrated into a
control system. Extron products use the Simple Instruction Set (SIS) protocol, a set of
basic ASCII code commands that allow quick and easy programming.
Contact closure remote control with tally output — Allows remote selection of
an input channel. +5 VDC is provided to light an LED to indicate the currently selected
input.
Rack-mountable, 1U, half rack width metal enclosure.
LockIt HDMI cable lacing brackets.
External universal power supply Energy-efficient — Provides worldwide
compatibility, low power consumption, and reduced operating costs.
