25G-8TPS2-A3-IB
4K HDBaseT Input Board with Analog Audio
Featuring eight HDBaseT™ input ports, this board is compatible with the full range of Lightware TPS extenders and HDBaseT™ compliant third party transmitters.
Highlighted features
Featuring eight HDBaseT™ 1.x input ports, the board is compatible with the full range of Lightware TPS extenders and HDBaseT™ compliant third party transmitters. The HDBaseT™ technology provides a transparent medium for all video, audio, data and control signals in line with the 25G multilayer architecture and allows for a cost effective extension solution for up to 170 meters.
The A3 add on has bi-directional and configurable Phoenix connectors. IEC 60958 1 audio embedded in the HDMI input or from the Return Audio Layer can be converted to an analog signal and switched to the Phoenix output. Moreover, the digitized analog audio through the analog input connector can be embedded in the HDMI signal or can be routed to the Forward Audio Layer.
Supported Media Layers
- Video layer with embedded audio
- Forward Audio Layer
- Return Audio Layer
- Ethernet layer
- USB KVM layer
- Infra layer
- Consumer Electronics Control layer
- RS-232 & RS-422 control layer
