• Multi-output HDMI distribution: Sends a single HDMI input to four HDMI receivers over CAT5e/6 cables, enabling synchronized playback across four displays from one source for scalable, immersive viewing experiences.
• Long-distance 1080p and 4K capabilities: Extends Full HD 1080p signals up to 198 ft (60 m) and 4K @ 60 Hz signals up to 114 ft (35 m) using standard CAT5e/6 cables, preserving image clarity over substantial distances.
• HDMI 2.0 with 4K HDR support: Delivers high-bandwidth 18 Gbps performance, supports 4K @ 60 Hz with YUV 4:4:4 8-bit color, and maintains vibrant HDR content for richer contrast and more lifelike detail.
• Auto-scaling for optimal display performance: Automatic resolution scaling ensures each connected display receives the best possible image, adapting to the capabilities of each screen while maintaining synchronization from the source.
• IR control and Power over Cable (PoC): IR control passthrough lets you manage the source from the displays or control room, and PoC support reduces power adapters by delivering power through the same CAT5e/6 cable network when compatible hardware is used.

How to install SIIG HDMI 2.0 4K HDR 1x4 Splitter HDBaseT Extender with Auto-scaling

• Plan your layout: Identify the HDMI source location, the transmitter placement, and the four display destinations. Confirm CAT5e/6 runs are terminated at both ends and rated for your required distance.
• Connect the source: Attach your HDMI source device (Blu-ray player, gaming console, computer, etc.) to the transmitter’s HDMI input using a standard HDMI cable.
• Link the CAT5e/6 cables: Run four CAT5e/6 cables from the transmitter to each of the four receiver units. Ensure cables are securely terminated at both ends for reliable signal transmission.
• Connect the displays: Attach each HDMI display to its corresponding receiver with HDMI cables. Position displays as needed for your space planning.
• Power considerations: If using PoC, connect the transmitter and/or receivers to compatible PoC-enabled equipment and power sources. If PoC is not used, supply external power per your system’s requirements.
• Power on and configure: Power on the source, transmitter, receivers, and displays. Verify that all displays are receiving the signal and that auto-scaling is optimizing each screen’s resolution.
• Remote control and testing: If using IR control, verify that the IR passthrough is functioning from the displays or control room. Test different sources and resolutions to ensure consistent performance across all outputs.
• Fine-tuning: If needed, adjust display settings to achieve the desired color calibration and brightness across each monitor, taking advantage of auto-scaling to balance image quality.
