FAQ
What is the maximum resolution and refresh rate this splitter supports?
The StarTech.com HDMI-SPLITTER-44K60S supports a maximum video resolution of 3840 x 2160 (4K UHD) at a refresh rate of 60Hz. It utilizes the HDMI 2.0b standard with 18Gbps bandwidth to ensure high-quality video transmission with support for HDR content.
How many displays can I connect to this HDMI splitter?
This is a 1x4 HDMI splitter. It has one HDMI input port and four HDMI output ports, allowing you to connect one source device (like a computer, media player, or gaming console) and duplicate its signal to up to four identical displays or monitors simultaneously.
Does this splitter support audio, and what audio output options are available?
Yes, it supports full audio pass-through. It can transmit multi-channel 7.1ch audio via HDMI. Additionally, it provides separate 3.5mm analog and TOSLINK optical audio output ports, which can be used simultaneously. A built-in DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter) allows for digital-to-analog audio conversion through the 3.5mm port.
What is EDID management and how does it work on this device?
EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) is information a display sends to a source about its capabilities. This splitter features an EDID management switch with two modes: 'EDID Auto' uses the built-in scaler to output two different resolutions, helpful for mixed displays. 'EDID Copy' clones the EDID from the display on output port 1 to all other outputs, forcing a single, uniform resolution (720p or higher) for consistent output across identical screens.
What is the maximum cable length I can use with this splitter?
Using standard passive HDMI cables, the splitter reliably supports distances up to 5 meters (approximately 16.4 feet). For installations requiring longer cable runs, the device is fully compatible with active HDMI cables and HDMI extender kits, which are purchased separately, allowing for significantly extended reach in large venues.
Is this splitter compatible with DVI monitors or older HDMI devices?
Yes, it offers backward compatibility. For DVI monitors, you can use a passive HDMI-to-DVI adapter (sold separately) on the output ports. The splitter also supports HDCP 1.4 content protection, ensuring compatibility with older Blu-ray players, set-top boxes, and other legacy HDMI sources that use this standard.
What resolution or display format is specified?
It features a display specification of 3840 × 2160, giving you clear visuals for work and media use.
What refresh rate or brightness details are available?
Display-oriented products are best judged through screen, connectivity, and installation specifications. Those facts help buyers confirm visual fit, mounting flexibility, and deployment suitability more clearly than generic summary text.
