RGB Spectrum 820 12214 – 1x2 HDMI 2.0 Splitter, 4K 60Hz

Product Overview

The 820 12214 is a 1x2 HDMI 2.0 splitter rated at 4K 60Hz with HDCP 2.2. It takes one HDMI source and delivers it to two sinks, which is the requirement whenever a feed has to reach both a video wall processor and a local confidence monitor, or both a display and a recorder. HDCP 2.2 support is the detail that matters in commercial work, because a splitter that cannot authenticate protected content simply produces a black screen on both outputs. It is a small in-line device suited to rack, plate or behind-display placement.

Product Description

The common use in an RGB Spectrum system is duplication rather than distribution: one source, two destinations, no switching. That covers an operator feed that must appear on both a wall and a desk monitor, a signage player driving a main display while also feeding a processor input, and a commissioning setup where a test monitor needs to see exactly what the processor is receiving. Because the device is 4K 60Hz rated and HDCP 2.2 compliant, it will sit in a current commercial signal path without becoming the weakest link in the chain.

Placed ahead of a processor, it pairs with the HDMI 2.0 input on the QPX HIN QuadPlex processor and the HDMI inputs on the Zio BB4K input card. Where the source's negotiation behaviour is unstable, the EDID-EW-H EDID minder belongs in the same path, and where the source format does not match what the processor expects, the SC-HD-2B scaler and frame rate converter is the matching device. If one of the two outputs has to reach a distant display, the HDMB2 HDMI 2.0 fiber cable covers the long run.

Before ordering, confirm the HDCP version each sink requires, because on a splitter the EDID and HDCP behaviour across both outputs is what determines whether the link comes up. Confirm the power arrangement and physical position, the cable length on each output leg, and whether the design actually needs duplication or needs switching, which is a different device. RGB Spectrum publishes no datasheet for this part number, so any dependency on a specific EDID mode, downscaling behaviour or audio handling should be confirmed before ordering.

Key Features

• One source to two sinks — A single HDMI feed reaches both destinations without a matrix switcher or a second source device.
• 4K 60Hz rating — The splitter is specified at 4K 60Hz, so it does not cap the resolution of a current commercial source or processor path.
• HDCP 2.2 support — Protected content authenticates through the device, which prevents the black-screen failure that non-compliant splitters cause.
• Suited to confidence monitoring — Feeding a local monitor alongside a processor input lets an operator or commissioning engineer see exactly what the system is receiving.
• Small in-line footprint — The device fits in a rack, on a plate or behind a display, close to the point in the chain where the duplication is needed.
• Vendor-supplied HDMI accessory — Ordering the RGB Spectrum part keeps the distribution stage inside the same support path as the processor it feeds.
