UGREEN 40203EU 1×8 HDMI 1.4 Splitter, 4K30

Overview

The UGREEN 40203EU is a powered HDMI splitter that shows one source on up to eight screens at the same time. One player, PC or recorder plugs into the input, and up to eight TVs or displays receive the same picture and sound. It suits a restaurant, gym, showroom or training room where the same programme plays across a room or building.

Is it right for you?

• Suits mirroring one source to several displays. It cannot show different content on different screens.
• Up to 4K x 2K at 30 Hz with HDCP 1.4; for 4K at 60 Hz or newer HDCP, choose a splitter rated for 4K at 60 Hz.
• One source only; it has no source selector.

Key features

• One HDMI input and eight HDMI outputs carrying one common signal.
• HDMI 1.4 with up to 4K x 2K at 30 Hz, plus 1080p and lower modes.
• HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) 1.4, with 3D and CEC pass-through.
• HDMI audio is duplicated with the video to every output.
• Front connection and status LEDs for each output.
• Runs from a 12 V DC adapter, which is in the box; 9 x 3 x 30 cm, 1100 g.

What else you need

An HDMI cable from the source and one for each display, and a mains socket for the 12 V adapter.

Installation

A cabinet or rack-shelf job. Connect the source, the displays and the adapter. Use short known-good cables while commissioning, then test every final cable route before fixing it. Indoor use only; keep it dry, ventilated and away from direct heat.

Before you buy

• Mixed displays can force a lower common mode or a blank screen; there is no per-output scaling or refresh selection.
• Protected content needs HDCP support end to end, and the splitter cannot bypass it; HDCP 1.4 is the ceiling.
• A powered splitter restores signal drive but cannot make very long cables reliable; test each route.
• HDMI cables are not included.
