FeinTech SP211 HDMI 2.1 Splitter 1 In 2 Out | 4K 120Hz | Downscaler

The SP211 HDMI 2.1 Splitter distributes the picture and sound signal of one HDMI source to two displays simultaneously. For example, you can connect a games console, streaming box, Blu-ray player or PC to a TV and a projector at the same time. With up to 4K 120Hz, HDR and Dolby Vision, the splitter is ideal for modern gaming and home cinema setups. The integrated downscaler also allows displays with different resolutions to be used together, e.g. a 4K TV and a Full HD projector, and three EDID modes let you define how the picture and sound capabilities of the connected devices are taken into account.

Distribute one HDMI source to two HDMI devices

The SP211 connects one HDMI source to two HDMI devices at the same time. The signal is available at both HDMI outputs simultaneously, so no re-plugging is required. Both displays always show the same picture. When a computer is connected, the screen is therefore duplicated on both displays; an extended desktop with different content is not possible with the SP211.

4K 120Hz for modern gaming and home cinema

With a bandwidth of up to 40 Gbit/s, the SP211 supports high-resolution HDMI signals up to 4K 120Hz with RGB or YUV 4:4:4, making it particularly suitable for current games consoles, gaming PCs and high-quality home cinema sources. HDR10, HDR10+, HLG and Dolby Vision as well as HDMI 2.1 features such as VRR and ALLM are also supported. Signals up to 8K 60Hz with YUV 4:2:0 and Full HD at up to 240Hz can be transmitted too, provided the HDMI source, the connected devices and the HDMI cables support the respective functions and signal formats.

Use different displays together thanks to the downscaler

The integrated downscaler makes it possible to operate two displays with different maximum resolutions at the same time. For example, a high-quality 4K signal can be kept on a 4K TV while the SP211 automatically reduces the resolution to 1080p for a connected Full HD projector. An 8K signal can also be downscaled to 4K or Full HD for a lower-resolution display. The downscaler is active in COPY and DOWNSCALE mode and only reduces the resolution; the refresh rate is retained (4K 120Hz becomes 1080p 120Hz, not 1080p 60Hz), so the lower-resolution display must support the output refresh rate. HDR, colour and audio formats are not changed either.

Three EDID modes for the right picture and sound output

With the three modes COPY, AUTO and DOWNSCALE you define how the SP211 passes the picture and sound information of the connected devices to the HDMI source.

• COPY: the SP211 adopts the picture and sound information of the device connected to HDMI OUT1, so the source is aligned to this device. If the second display has a lower resolution, the downscaler adapts it automatically. Note that the audio output also follows the device on OUT1 – if a monitor or projector without suitable audio support is connected there, the source's audio output may be limited or missing.
• AUTO: the SP211 determines picture and sound formats supported by both connected devices – ideal for the most uncomplicated and compatible playback on both displays. If only one of the devices supports Dolby Atmos, for example, no Dolby Atmos is output.
• DOWNSCALE: ideal when two displays of different capability are used together and the better display should use its capabilities as fully as possible; the downscaler automatically reduces the resolution for the lower-resolution display.

High-quality audio formats up to Dolby Atmos and DTS:X

Besides the picture, the SP211 transmits modern multichannel audio formats such as Dolby Atmos, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS:X, DTS-HD and LPCM up to 7.1. Which format the source actually outputs depends on the selected EDID mode and the capabilities of the connected devices.

HDMI-CEC control via HDMI OUT1

The SP211 passes HDMI-CEC through HDMI OUT1, so compatible devices can exchange CEC commands, e.g. for switching on and off together. CEC communication takes place exclusively via HDMI OUT1; the available functions depend on the connected devices.

Power supply via USB-C

The SP211 requires an external 5 V power supply with at least 1 A via USB-C. A USB-C to USB-A cable is included, a USB power adapter is not. For the most reliable HDMI-CEC and automatic switching on/off we recommend a separate 5 V / 1 A USB power adapter.

Easy selection directly on the device

A button on the SP211 switches between the EDID modes COPY, AUTO and DOWNSCALE. LEDs show the selected mode and the status of both HDMI outputs.
