Frequently Asked Questions
What is an HDMI distribution amplifier and how does it work?
An HDMI distribution amplifier like the KanexPro SP-HDPOC1X4 takes a single HDMI source signal and amplifies it to multiple display outputs simultaneously. This splitter ensures each connected display receives a clean, full-strength signal without degradation, making it ideal for conference rooms, digital signage, and broadcast applications requiring synchronized multi-display output.
Can I extend HDMI signal over CAT5e/6 cable with this 1x4 splitter?
Yes. The KanexPro HDMI 1x4 distribution amplifier converts HDMI signals for transmission over standard CAT5e/6 cabling, extending signal up to 60 meters at 1080p60 or 35 meters at 4K60. This approach reduces cabling costs compared to running multiple long HDMI cables and simplifies installation in buildings with existing structured cabling infrastructure.
Does this 4K HDMI splitter support 4K60 resolution?
Yes. The SP-HDPOC1X4 supports 4K2K@60Hz 4:4:4 color depth at distances up to 35 meters over CAT6 cable. For longer runs, 4K30 is supported up to 50 meters, providing flexibility for various installation scenarios while maintaining professional video quality.
What is the HDMI loop output used for?
The integrated HDMI loop output allows you to monitor the source signal on a local display while simultaneously distributing the signal to four remote displays via CAT outputs. This feature enables source verification and supports daisy-chaining configurations in complex AV installations.
