What to verify before buying
- 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 & HDCP 2.2 – required to pass protected UHD content across all eight outputs.
- EDID management/learning – prevents black screens and handshake failures when switching routes.
- HDBaseT outputs – extend 4K/1080p up to 330 ft over a single Cat5e/6/7 cable; PoH models power the receiver too.
- Audio & scaling – look for audio extraction/de-embedding and output scaling for mixed displays.
