The BG-HDA-E18 is a 4K 1x8 HDMI splitter that can split a single HDMI source signal to eight displays at distances up to 70 meters over CAT6 networking cable. This splitter is a great choice for users that need to output a single video source like a Blu-ray player, computer, game console, or streaming media player to multiple displays.

Connectivity and Quality

Ease of installation and high quality video are hallmarks of the BG-HDA-E18. The splitter supports resolutions as high as 4K2K@30Hz 4:4:4, ensuring no quality is lost when your input is split between the eight outputs. The splitter has one HDMI input, one HDMI loop output, and eight CAT outputs. The signal can be extended at distances up to 50m/164ft at 4K30Hz resolution or up to 70m/230ft at 1080p@60Hz. This splitter also supports power over cable (POC) from the transmitter to receiver, eliminating the need for an external power supply at the receiver. The device is also HDMI 1.4 and HDCP 1.4 compliant. The BG-HDA-E18 has the ability to handle multiple audio formats, including LPCM 7.1CH, Dolby True HD, and DTS-HD. Link lights on the RJ45 ports provide a visual indication of connection status for at-a-glance troubleshooting.

Control

A set of DIP switches on the transmitter provide access to advanced EDID management for the BG-HDA-E18. One-way IR control signal pass-through provides source control from the receivers. The IR receivers can accept and transmit a signal from up to 8 meters away.
