8K 1×2 HDMI 2.1 Splitter with Auto Downscaling
48Gbps, HDCP 2.3, HDR?SDR Converting, Dolby Atmos/DTS:X, EDID DIP

Split one 8K HDMI 2.1 source to two displays with automatic downscaling and HDR-to-SDR conversion — enabling mixed-resolution environments without manual configuration. The KanexPro SP-HD1X28K delivers 48Gbps bandwidth and supports resolutions up to 8K@60Hz 4:2:0 12-bit and 4K@120Hz 4:4:4 12-bit. Its auto downscaling independently adjusts each output (8K→4K or 8K/4K→1080p) based on connected display capabilities, while HDR-to-SDR conversion ensures compatibility with legacy SDR displays.
