1. INTRODUCTION
This HDMI to Dual HDMI Scaler with Audio De-Embedding & Test
Patterns is designed to upscale 1080p signals into 4K UHD (18Gbps)
or downscale 4K UHD (18Gbps) signals into 1080p with synchronizeddigital and analog audio output. A friendly and simple interface
design allows the user to control the unit while viewing the OSD
directly on the HDMI output. The input signal can be output to both
HDMI outputs simultaneously with a different resolution on each or theunit can generate a test pattern at a preferred video resolution foreasy on-site display testing and validation. This UHD Scaler is the best
tool to use with your HD and UHD signals.

2. APPLICATIONS• HDMI signal splitting• On-site equipment testing• Production testing• R&D design and testing
