MuxLab 500505 - DisplayPort Splitter Distributor 1x2 4K/60Hz (SST)
The MuxLab 500505 is a high-performance video distribution solution designed for professional environments that require the exact duplication of a DisplayPort 1.2a video source to two simultaneous displays without any loss of quality. This compact and robust device allows for the transmission of ultra-high-definition signals, ensuring that both image and audio integrity remain faithful to the original source. It is the ideal tool for system integrators seeking reliability in critical installations where latency or signal degradation is unacceptable.
Thanks to its compatibility with the DisplayPort 1.2a standard and a total bandwidth of 21.6 Gbps , this splitter can handle resolutions up to 4K (3840 x 2160) at 60 frames per second (60Hz), delivering a smooth and crisp visual experience. Furthermore, for applications that demand high refresh rates, such as simulators or specialized gaming monitors, the device supports 1080p resolutions at 240Hz . Its Single Stream Transport ( SST ) technology ensures identical content replication on both connected monitors, simplifying content management in digital signage and corporate presentation scenarios.
Main features
-
Ultra High Definition Support: Compatible with resolutions up to 4K @ 60Hz and 1080p @ 240Hz, ideal for high-speed dynamic content.
-
DisplayPort 1.2ay Dual Mode (DP++) protocol: Enables interoperability and the use of passive adapters to convert the signal to HDMI or DVI if necessary at the outputs.
-
Superior bandwidth: Handles up to 5.4 Gbps per lane for a total of 21.6 Gbps, ensuring the transmission of deep color and complex data without visible compression.
-
Immersive Audio: Supports passthrough of advanced audio formats such as LPCM 7.1, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio, complementing the video quality with surround sound.
-
Professional construction: Housed in a rugged metal casing designed to dissipate heat and withstand continuous use in commercial and industrial environments.
Benefits for the user
The MuxLab 500505 eliminates the usual complications of digital video distribution. As a plug-and-play device, it requires no additional drivers or software, greatly simplifying field deployment. The inclusion of external power supplies and its compact design allow for discreet installation behind monitors or in rack trays.
Its ability to handle Deep Color (24-bit color depth) ensures that gradients and details in medical or graphic design images are reproduced accurately. Furthermore, by complying with the HDCP 1.3 standard, it guarantees uninterrupted viewing of protected content, providing peace of mind in corporate and entertainment environments.
Use cases
-
Digital Signage: Distribution of identical advertising or information on two screens located in lobbies, shopping centers or airports.
-
Medical Environments: Duplication of high-resolution diagnostic images for simultaneous viewing by the specialist and the support or teaching team.
-
Conference Rooms and Classrooms: Projection of the speaker's screen onto a main projector and a reference or rear audience monitor simultaneously.
-
High-Performance Workstations: Use in simulation or editing setups where monitoring the same signal at high refresh rates (up to 240Hz at 1080p) is required.
