Tripp Lite recently introduced HDMI splitters, which allows customers to deliver 4K resolution to 4K displays and lower resolutions to less expensive displays. The splitter can deliver the maximum output resolution supported by each television, monitor, display or projector, according to a press release.

The device is available in two and four-port models and it supports the latest HDMI standards such as 4:4:4 chroma subsampling and 36-bit Deep Color. Other features include:

1. Can extend signal up to 30-feet.
2. Can support 4K resolution at 60 Hertz.
3. Supports DTS-HD, Dolby TrueHD, Dobly Digital Plus and LPCM 7.1-channel surround sound audio.

"With one of these new splitters, the user gains a cost-effective means to install one or more televisions that support High Dynamic Range (HDR) for true 4K content, while controlling the overall costs of the installation by adding other displays that support 1080p resolutions," David Posner, director of product marketing, connectivity, Tripp Lite, said in the release. "The ability to mix-and-match different display standards means that dazzling 4K video won't be choked back to 1080p on an HDR television that may serve as the centerpiece of a larger installation."
