The SB-5688CAP is a professional 8x8 matrix routing switch with PoH (Power Over HDBaseT). Supporting (8) HDMI and (8) Auxiliary Audio Inputs and (8) HDMI, (8) SPDIF and (8) HDBaseT (PoH) Outputs. The SB-5688CAP is based on the HDBaseT standards and supports full HDMI video resolution with embedded EDID and PoH function, Audio, RS-232, Ethernet and bi-directional IR, all over a single category cable. With a signal bandwidth of 340Mhz, so there is no signal degradation.
High Definition Digital signals can be selected and distributed to any (8) inputs to the (16) outputs simultaneously (channel outputs mirrored). The switcher is certified as being fully CEC, ARC and HDCP 2.0 compliant, full HD 4K2K HDMI V1.4a 3D formats, with data rates up to 6.75 Gbps.
Using the build-in booster, each HDMI output port is capable of driving cable lengths for 1080p up to 98' (30m) & 4K2K up to 66' (20m). Supports UXGA/WUXGA/DVI 1920x1200 resolutions to any HD display. The SB-5688CAP has 1x HDMI and Auxiliary Audio (analog stereo audio) connector per input, effectively making this an (8) in x (16) out switcher (same signal on both outputs). Using the IR remote, the switcherf ½s HDBaseT Extender Transmitter (Tx) allows you to connect a source in a remote location.
Likewise, the HDBaseT output and Shinybow's HDBaseT Receiver allows you to connect a display in a remote location. The EDID management can be selected between (7) different modes. Control is provided via front panel push buttons, IR remote, RS-232 or TCP/IP (not a web-browser). An RS-232 Windows GUI interface is provided for matrix routing control (Windows only).
