PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
ATEN VC080 4K HDMI EDID Emulator with Programmer - 2 Years Local Warranty
Keep Sources at the Right Resolution
The VC080 sits between a HDMI source and the downstream switch, extender or display and presents a stable EDID to the source. PCs and media players keep their resolution and window layout even when displays are switched, turned off or disconnected.
4K HDMI with Audio Pass-Through
Supports up to 4096 x 2160 or 3840 x 2160 at 30 Hz 4:4:4 at a 10.2 Gbps data rate, HDMI 1.4 3D and Deep Color, HDCP and CEC, and passes Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio.
Three EDID Modes, Including Full Programming
Choose Default mode, Learning mode to copy the EDID of a connected display, or Programming mode, where ATEN's EDID Wizard software on a PC writes a custom EDID via the supplied RS-232 configuration cable.
Flexible Power
A DC jack and supplied USB-to-DC power cord power the unit (0.17 W), and ATEN also supports non-powered operation. The compact metal housing measures 7.90 x 7.76 x 2.45 cm.
