HDTV Supply is a leader in supplying 3D equipment for this new, fast growing 3DTV market. Our test lab includes the latest equipment for designing, testing and supporting 3D video equipment. The chips sets we use support the below 3D formats and work with many of our HDMI 1.3 and HDMI 1.4 compliant devices. This HDMI Splitter 1x8 with 4Ksupports these 3D formats:

• Side-by-Side 3D Format
• Top-and-Bottom 3D Format
• Blu-ray 3D Format
• Frame packing
• and more

We not only test this HDMI Splitter 1x8 with 4K with lab equipment we also test many of our 3D devices with 3D products you are likely to use. The products used for the test are:

• Sony PS3 with the 3D 3.41 firmware
• Samsung model PN50C7000YF 3DTV
• Samsung model BD-C6900 3D Blu-ray player FORCED to 1080p
• Samsung model SSG-P2100T 3D glasses
• DirecTV models HR21-100 and the HR24 high definition receiver.
• HDTV Supply's true HDMI 1.4 cables
• It works with all HDMI devices including the new 3D units.

The 3D viewing results were awesome in our lab and did not have any picture or audio degradation. The normal and standard (2D) results equally exhibited a superb picture quality.

Q: Can I use unpowered HDMI over CAT5/6 extenders with this splitter?
A: We don't recommend them with our splitters, or anyone elses, due to them consuming power from the splitter and the splitters are not designed to power many external devices. Long HDMI cables with in-line boosters also consume power from the splitter.

Consider the example of 4 - HDMI balun transmitters that need 0.5a amp each to power it times 4 or 2 amps the matrix may have to supply. The power supply of this matrix is about that size so in that example the matrix may not reliable send the video and audio signal. See the companion powered 4K HDMI extenders in the above ACCESSORIES that have 2-AC adapters.

Q: What is 4Kx2K?
A: The HDMI 1.4 specification adds support for extremely high video resolutions that go far beyond today's 1080p systems. 4Kx2K, 4K for short, is 4,096 lines wide by 2,160 lines high or roughly four times the resolution of a 1080p display and is double the number of lines of a typical HD picture, and more than double the number of pixels across the screen – so over four times the resolution. This 1-8 HDMI Splitter has been designed to support 4K as it has four times the signal bandwidth and memory needed for 3D that doesn't require glasses. It supports todays needs and future 4K products.
