FST is a Gefen firmware implementation for HDMI products. It eliminates the lengthy HDMI authentication process and allows disconnecting, reconnecting or powering down HDTV displays without any of these activities causing picture loss in other displays within the same distribution system. The choice between built-in and passed-through EDIDs and the ability to configure the EDID for 2-channel or multichannel operation help customize your AV system to meet its operational requirements . The Gefen 1:8 Splitter is the perfect choice for any small or large 4K video distribution system.

How It Works
The Ultra HD 4K Splitter is connected between the Ultra Hi-Def source and eight Ultra HD displays. One or all of its outputs can alternatively be connected to other Gefen splitters to create a cascaded system that distributes HDMI to a larger number of displays. Each splitter should also be connected to an AC outlet using the included power supply. Once the source and the displays are turned on and power is applied to the splitter(s), the 4K picture will appear on all connected screens without any further set-up.
