introduction

KD-FIX418A is a 4K/18G HDMI connectivity repair and audio de-embedding solution which may also act as HDMI extension coupler, EDID handshake manager, and 18G to 10G down-converter when activating its various settings. Analog and digital audio de-embedding on 3.5mm stereo & PCM RCA connectors allow for integration of sources with no external audio connections into distributed audio systems, audio DSPs, amplifiers, or sound bars. KD-FIX418A provides supports a all SD, HD, VESA and Ultra HD/4K video standards with HDR header information included in a variety of 4K EDID handshakes.

Features

  • HDMI Correction: Resolves common HDMI integration obstacles related to Hot Plug Detection, EDID handshaking, HDCP authentication, and bandwidth

  • Audio De-embedding: HDMI input audio is de-embedded on an analog 3.5mm stereo and digital PCM connector

  • 18G Down-Convert: Incoming 18Gbps bandwidth HDMI signals may be down-converted for integration with existing 10.2Gbps systems/infrastructure

  • Surround Audio: Dolby® TrueHD, Dolby® Digital Plus, DTS-HD Master Audio™, and Dolby Atmos

  • ARC Pass-thru: From connected ARC supported display to connected ARC supported HDMI source

  • CEC Pass-thru: From connected display to selected HDMI source

Additional Features

  • Ultra HD/4K: Supports up to 4096x2160 or 3840x2160 24/25/30/60hz at 4:4:4 (signals up to 18Gbps bandwidth)

  • HDCP Licensing: Fully licensed and compatible with HDCP 2.2

  • HDR10 and Dolby Vision: More life-like images through a greater range of luminance levels

  • Resolution Support: Supports all SD, HD, and VESA (VGA, SVGA, XGA, WXGA, SXGA, UXGA) up to 4096x2160p

  • Deep Color Support: Up to UHD/4K 30Hz 4:4:4/12 bits or 60Hz 4:4:4/8 bit

  • Full Buffer System™: Manages TMDS re-clocking / signal re-generation, HDCP authentication to source & display, Hot Plug management, and EDID control handshake

  • EDID Management: Internal library with 15 internal EDID handshakes including 4K with HDR in addition to native EDID data copied from the output/display  

  • Control : RS-232 control and connectivity status
