1. Introduction

TL-DA18-HD2 is a 1x8 HDMI splitter with HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 compliance, and reliably distributes one HDMI source signal to 8 HDMI displays.

It supports HDMI 2.0 specification features including data rates up to 18Gbps 4K@60Hz video, and automatic HDCP 2.2 compatibility.

It also provides EDID management which provides multiple EDID options for various resolutions output, and HDCP management which authenticates HDCP encryption between all devices, ensuring the HDMI source reliably outputs correct content for display.

Additional features, includes input cable equalization and signal regeneration compensation, which reduces the need for additional signal conditioning equipment by compensating for signal loss when using long input cable or cascading multiple units.
