8K AND BEYOND
Our Essentials 8K switchers not only meet 8K demands but they’re empowered with
DSC passthrough, an approved method found in the HDMI 2.1 specification to transmit
super-high bandwidth content (up to 10K@120Hz!) producing mathematically lossless content.
These switchers also support all High Dynamic Range formats including HDR10+, Dolby Vision and HLG.
HDMI 2.1
In addition to 8K resolution, these switchers support a number HDMI 2.1 technologies including,
Auto Low Latency Mode, Variable Refresh Rate, Quick Frame Transport and Quick Media Switching
ensuring you can take advantage of all the features your 8K display has to offer.
AUDIO BREAKOUT
To be able to send 8K content from source to display, everything inline is required to be
HDMI 2.1 compatible, leading to expensive upgrades including your audio distribution system.
With our switchers, no need to upgrade your AVR! Simply utilize the audio de-embed on our switchers
to get high quality 5.1 while passing HDMI 2.1 content to your display.
