InLine 57887D HDMI Video Splitter 4x HDMI 8K 60Hz 4K 120Hz Metal Housing Black

The InLine 57887D HDMI Video Splitter is a high-performance device designed to distribute an HDMI video signal from up to two input sources to four HDMI outputs simultaneously. Featuring a durable black metal housing, this HDMI 2.1 splitter supports ultra-high resolutions up to 7680 x 4320 pixels at 60 Hz and 4K at 120 Hz with a maximum data rate of 48 Gb/s. It is engineered for professional AV installations, digital signage, multi-display presentations, and advanced home entertainment systems requiring reliable signal duplication without loss of quality.

Advantages

This video splitter provides maximum HDMI 2.1 performance, ensuring compatibility with high-bandwidth video and audio signals. It allows users to switch between two input sources and distribute the selected signal identically to up to four connected displays. Individual downscaling per output enables the parallel use of screens with different resolutions, while EDID management and HDR to SDR conversion optimize visual performance. The integrated audio de-embedding function allows audio to be routed separately through optical S/PDIF or analogue L/R outputs. Additionally, robust control options including IR remote control, RS-232, and an integrated test pattern generator simplify setup and operation in complex environments.

Suitable for

• Professional AV setups and structured installations
• Digital signage networks requiring identical multi-display distribution
• Home entertainment systems with multiple 8K or 4K screens
• Gaming environments utilizing high refresh rates up to 120 Hz

When it may not be suitable

This device may not be suitable for applications that require extending HDMI signals over long distances via standard copper cables without dedicated signal repeaters or extenders. It is also not intended for users who need independent content playback on each connected display, as the splitter duplicates the same active source signal across all outputs.

How to use

To set up the splitter, connect your HDMI source devices to the input ports using certified HDMI 2.1 cables. Connect up to four display devices to the HDMI output ports. Plug the included external power supply into the DC-in jack and a standard electrical outlet. Use the front panel controls, IR remote, or RS-232 interface to select the desired input source and configure settings such as EDID or downscaling if your displays have different native resolutions.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your source devices and displays support the required HDMI resolutions and refresh rates
• Ensure you have sufficient physical space, as the unit measures 120 mm in width and 220 mm in depth
• Confirm whether you require audio de-embedding for external sound systems

Usage recommendations

For optimal signal integrity and to achieve maximum supported resolutions such as 8K at 60 Hz or 4K at 120 Hz, always use certified ultra-high-speed HDMI cables. Ensure adequate ventilation around the metal housing during prolonged operation within the specified temperature range of 0 °C to +40 °C.
